It’s so bizarre to read this in the present, knowing how incredible TNG was, but I get it - the original crew WAS Star Trek to them.

The dedicated fans revived this series in syndication, well after it had gone off the air in 1969, and felt attached to the characters that they had obsessed over between then and the 1980s. Like modern fans, they thought that departure from what they knew would ruin it.

I wish I could go back in time and tell them that TNG is going to rock.

    Unfair advantage, TNG has Picard.

      Picard is definitely the top card there, but seriously the rest of the cast was damn good too.

      Had a rather large crush on Beverly and Troy. Hubba hubba

          I actually don’t think he had a role in TNG.

            He may have been credited under his birth name Dante Smith… or his new name Yasiin Bey. In any case he’s most definitely Mos Def.
