[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] I'm fairly certain both Stewart and Spiner (and probably Dorn) want out. Does anyone else find it rather incredible that this group of officers would stick with each other for this long? Poor Data has been a lieutenant commander for what -- 14 years? And how many commands has Riker passed? I think it's rather unrealistic of TPTB to keep these characters together. By the end of the next film (even if it is the last TNG film), we should see the characters moving on, some of the original characters remaining aboard the [i]Enterprise[/i], and others moving on to new assignments and new challenges. VOY pretty clearly established that Geordi LaForge would probably be commanding a starship in the not-so-distant future. The logical evolution for this is that he will follow up his assignment as Chief Engineering Officer aboard the [i]Enterprise-E[/i] with a tour of duty as Executive Officer aboard any number of ships (preferably the [i]Enterprise[/i]) for a number of years, and no offense -- but this should start happening pretty soon. [i]All Good Things[/i] can't be looked on for what will actually happen to the characters 25 years down the line from TNG, of course ... the loss of the [i]Enterprise-D[/i] is proof enough of this, yet it's not hard to make the argument that the characters will drift in the same directions regardless or not of the loss of one starship (so it's a good bet Geordi might wind up married to Leanna Brahms). IIRC, Picard was a Federation diplomat sometime after leaving Starfleet. I don't know if the marriage to Dr. Crusher will work out, but I don't see why it wouldn't. I would imagine that if Picard didn't take a promotion to Admiral, he might accept a nomination as a Federation Ambassador or Diplomat to help bring new worlds into the Federation (something he seemed to already be doing in Insurrection). Worf's future was as a Klingon governor. I don't know if this will happen or not, but as the Federation Ambassador to Quo'nos, TPTB have opportunities to take the character in interesting new directions. He's no longer just the "Klingon chief of security", he's a major figure within the UFP, and I find it rather hard to believe he'd keep manning the Tac post EVERY SINGLE time he's back aboard the [i]Enterprise[/i]. Data has spent nearly his entire existance in Starfleet. Tuvok took a leave of absense from Starfleet, it's not inconceivable for Data to do the same and "retire" for as long as he wants before returning to duty. Why would the loss of the [i]Enterprise-D[/i] change his decision to teach at Oxford? I really don't know what to say about Deanna Troi. She's always been rather ignored on TNG, and she was long since dead in [i]All Good Things[/i]. Perhaps she and Riker married. Perhaps they didn't. Who knows? William T. Riker. Remarkably ambitious officer. He turned down a command to take the XO post on the [i]Enterprise[/i], remember? This is a guy that graduated in the same class as Geordi LaForge (who was a Lt jg. during the first season) and Chakotay (according to the Chronology, anyway). I find it almost impossible to believe he's still willing to stick around as XO ... c'mon! Okay, for seven or eight years perhaps "being the flagship's XO" would be appealing, but I would imagine he'd be thirsty for a challenge. If he's still XO by the end of Trek X and not CO of [i]Enterprise[/i] or another starship, I'd be dissapointed. Let me also say that Will Riker is a great character, and I think he'd make a great [i]Enterprise[/i] Captain. PLEASE!!! Powers that be -- let these characters move on and grow. [/QB][/QUOTE]
