Epic Star Trek Re-Watch - The Next Generation - Movie Week 2!
Posted: Fri Feb 18, 2022 12:24 am
Star Trek is fantastic. It's been part of popular culture in one form or another for 55 years at this point and has entertained and inspired millions of people over the past half-century.
So lets watch ALL of it. (Yes even the shite episodes )
We've already worked through The Original Series, The Animated Series and the first six movies, so it's time to move on from Kirk, Spock and Bones to something a little bit different.
Wikipedia wrote:In the 1980s, Roddenberry—who was responsible for the original Star Trek, Star Trek: The Animated Series (1973–1974), and the first of a series of films—was tasked by Paramount Pictures with creating a new series in the franchise. He decided to set it a century after the events of his original series. The Next Generation featured a new crew: Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Jonathan Frakes as William Riker, Brent Spiner as Data, Michael Dorn as Worf, LeVar Burton as Geordi La Forge, Marina Sirtis as Deanna Troi, Denise Crosby as Tasha Yar, Wil Wheaton as Wesley Crusher, Gates McFadden as Dr. Beverly Crusher, and a new Enterprise.
So, starting Sunday 20th February, grab youself a nice cup of Tea, Earl Grey, Hot and make it so.
This Week!

Spoiler Policy
I'm not anticipating this being a big issue, but I would remind everyone that we do have some newcomers to Star Trek going through the shows with us. When discussing episodes try and refrain from mentioning specific plot points outside of spoiler boxes. General comments are fine unspoilered through. Especially try and refrain from talking about plot points and character development further down the road. So please don't mention characters leaving/dying/getting promoted or other major developments etc.
Just watch the episodes and let us know what you think!
