    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Almost everyone in the cast became life-long friends. At LeVar Burton's 1992 wedding, Brent Spiner served as best man, and Sir Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, and Michael Dorn all served as ushers. Man Of The People (1992)(#6.3) aired on that day.
    • Goofs
      It is claimed that Data can't use contractions (Can't, Isn't, Don't, etc) yet there are several instances throughout the series where he does. One of the first such examples is heard in Encounter at Farpoint (1987), where Data uses the word "Can't" while the Enterprise is being chased by Q's "ship".
    • Quotes

      [repeated line]

      Capt. Picard: Engage!

    • Crazy credits
      The model of the Enterprise used in the opening credits is so detailed, a tiny figure can be seen walking past a window just before the vessel jumps to warp speed.
    • Alternate versions
      From 2012-2014, to celebrate the Silver Anniversary of TNG, CBS/Paramount decided to remaster the series in High Definition. This would involve rebuilding the show from the ground up using new HD scans of the original camera negatives, including the numerous VFX elements. Under the supervision of Mike and Denise Okuda, the series has been reborn for a new generation.

    My God this series is great!

    I love this series so much. I like the characters, how they interact with each other and just the plot alone. This is pure genius. Going on adventures with the crew and having a bit of humor along the way. The acting is supreme and the soundtrack is nice too. I ❤ this series very much and can only recommend it !
