That is for sure... But I seem to remember Roddenberry had some input on the first season, and he was not too lucid at that point. Seasons one and two hd two big problems, Jumpsuits and Wesley Crusher...

I watched TNG because it was on and certainly watched it every week. Was there any other sci-fi show even broadcast in the late 80's? Although I like Patrick Stewart, the kindler, gentler, conflict resolution style of starship captaining always left me cold. Personal preference was how Riker was portrayed, much more like the original Kirk. Data is certainly still a fave too. The rest, send to the airlock. However, TNG absolutely paved the way for the tumult of sci-fi shows since. IIRC it was nearly a dead genre on broadcast TV prior to the arrival of TNG. I don't know if anyone has read the sneak reviews from the UK on the new ST but by all accounts it is a steamroller and should lock many sequels to come. Good!

WRT Riker, without the beard, does he remind you of Potsy Webber of Happy Days?

I haven't been this stoked for a movie since the new Indiana Jones, which was a big disappointment. My brother got to see a press preview, and said it was fantastic. And he's not half the fan I am.
I was a fan of the other movies, but thought they were generally running out of ideas. Thus, I was glad to see a reboot. My next hope: a new Star Trek show similar to the new Battlestar Galactica.

I am actually surprised nobody has mentioned Q. Some of the best episodes are between him and Picard.
The one with Moriarty who steps OUT of the holodeck. I am beginning to think based on what I've seen of previews the man who talks Kirk into joining starfleet is Pike. Mark

TNG remains my favorite series. Though DS9 and TOS are tied for second. DS9 for some good acting and story lines, and TOS for its classic-ness. Many of the episodes from the early days of DS9 were really snore-fests though.
That being said, Wesley Crusher was a little too much. I hated Q at the time, but he's grown on me over time. TNG also introduced the Borg and set the stage for the next 20 years of Trek, which slowly degraded over time.

 I just saw it, and I thought it was great! The special effects were like a mixture of Star trek and Battlestar Galactica (new series) with a much bigger budget. Pretty fast paced start to finish. I got to go see it again on IMAX !

Just saw it in IMAX tonight. Still not 100% sure what I think of it. Odd detail stuff kept snapping me out of it. It was a good sci-fi movie, but I don't know if it was a good Star Trek movie or not.

I just got back from seeing it in IMAX tonight,too.I really liked it a lot.Im glad they didnt go by the old ST playbook on some things.And it still had the humor of the original.And the main characters were all a nice fit.The new Uhuru is the hottest thing on feet.
