I've been trying to remember when I first heard there was going to be this new Star Trek show, but I can't. Earliest memory I can sum up about it is a picture of the cast on the wall of my brother's dormitory at school, which I thought looked really cheesy. . . Awful-looking tight uniforms! The dark-haird chick's outfit (and hairstyle) is worse though. Is that a Klingon? Is that yellow guy an alien? What's that on the black guy's face? Why do they have an old bald guy in the crew?

It was not until 1989 when TNG first aired in Germany. I knew little about the series before I actually saw it, I only remember that I didn't like the Enterprise-D a lot. I watched "Encounter at Farpoint" together with that girl from the university who was interested into Star Trek too. At some point in the middle of the double episode I got a call from my father who wanted me to pick him up somewhere. So my first experience with TNG remained incomplete.

I was 26 and I taped it and all the subsequent series afterwards.

If you REALLY wanted to pick the cool little picture apart - the Trill Spots should actually be that species from "The Perfect Mate" - since the Trill first showed up with spots on Deep Space Nine.

Same Here, although the earliest TNG episodes I remember watching as a kid was BOBW and Yesterday's Enteprise. I was more concerned with the starships and special effects than the actual plot, but then again what kid wasn't.

True enough - and none of the elusive Spotted Trill showed up on the series. However, there was one rather sexy example of the species on the bridge in "Insurrection", so I guess the above picture is still valid.

^That was a conscious choice on my part for the Trill, using the one showing up in Insurrection rather than the rather unremarkable version in the TV series.
