I grew up watching Star Trek: TNG, and remember thinking how blatantly old & outdated the original series seemed in comparison. It was 18 years from the time that TOS went off the air to when TNG had it's first episode.
It has now been 19 years since TNG went off the air. That is to say, one year LONGER ago than the time in between TOS and TNG.

I first felt "old" the day I learned that I was older than the Big Mac.
This doesn't even come close...

Patrick Stewart has aged the best, oddly. He looks exactly the same.

Jonathan Frakes pitched the idea for a new series following the Titan after he leaves the E. For about the past year Michael Dorn has been getting support for a series: Captain Worf

I have been watching TNG on HuluPlus the last few weeks. It has aged very well. Especially Season 3 and onward. Still love "Yesterday's Enterprise" and have a new favorite, "The Measure of a Man."

The Original ST was breaking the molds dealing with race and social issues and expanding our perception of what our future might hold..... other ST's are just standing on shoulders.
One of the most amazing things about the ST shows movies etc. is that we look at a picture of a woman and think ... "guilty" or "not guilty" yet we see an alien on ST with green skin and scales on her face and think....................... I'D HIT IT!!!!

This thought made me feel old a few weeks ago:
In Back to the Future, Marty went back 30 years in the past from 1985 to 1955. In two years, it will have been 30 years since BTTF came out! Still love that movie BTW... |
