[QUOTE]Originally posted by MrNeutron: [QB] Personally, I think comparing what TNG was to what other Trek shows have been is sort of missing the point raised at the beginning. TNG had a lot of interesting potential, but it fell into formula pretty quickly, and any tensions between the characters evaporated within the first handful of episodes (and don't blame Roddenberry for that...after all, he wanted Diana Muldar (Pulaski) in the show as a foil for Data, and she wasn't nice to him at all). As to the merits of the show. TOS was very much a product of it's time, but TNG wasn't even a product of it's time. Aside from visual effects technology, it was behind the curve in almost every respect compared to the state of the art in the late 80s. Scripting, cinematography, scoring, acting styles...all rather stale. Frankly, TNG tepidly failed to go where even contemporary dramas had gone before. [/QB][/QUOTE]
