A quick coffee sketch today. I was thinking about that first episode, the premiere, of ST:TNG and that dystopian future Earth. That was 'Encounter at Farpoint', not a great episode by any stretch but, at that time any Trek was good Trek. I honestly thought that it probably wouldn't be around very long. It did get better and was well into its prime by 1994 when the last episode included flashbacks or was that flash forwards to that first episode. The 'Q' were an interesting species of omnipotent beings, that would test other species on the conviction of their beliefs. I'm surprised that the writers never seized on that for one of the ST:TNG motion pictures. Those movies were getting cliched with the 'Oh, no! Data is going bonkers again!' plots. I'm sure that John de Lancie would have jumped at the chance!
Happy Friday!
