I'm a TOS fan, but I recently read Patrick Stewart's biography and thought I would try a few episodes of TNG.
Honestly, there's nothing in this episode. It's just a boring who cares, non-science fiction soap. There's no tension, no drama, nothing compelling, just straight up storytelling that belongs on the Hallmark Channel.
An episode about a traumatized boy. That's Star Trek? What am I missing?
I'm 200 characters short. Although I've only seen about 10 episodes ever of TNG, one of the things that I was turned off by was the lack of difference between the lead characters. They all seem so similar except for Data.
Oh, and the acting comes across as very wooden. I'm sure this is because the actors themselves aren't given anything to work with. I suspect that some of them are probably very good in the right roles.
Maybe TNG isn't for me.
