Man, it sure is fun to look back at TNG with 20 years of hindsight. Those first two seasons were crap but everyone thought they were awesome when they aired.

It was the first new Trek in almost two decades. To describe everyone as wearing rose colored glasses would be an understatement.

Re: SFDebris: The Outrageous Okana
It's still rather strange though. It was so different from TOS. Surely Trek fans at the time were expecting the show to follow a TOS style? I'd expect them to be rather dissapointed.

I expect there were a few categories when it first came out:
1) This is shit. *click*
2) This is shit, but it's early yet, let's see if it'll improve.
3) It's Trek therefore I'll watch it regardless of quality.
4) It's Trek therefore it's brilliant! *fapfapfap*

The fact that they had to tell you he was outrageous in the episode title tells you everything you need to know.

Re: SFDebris: The Outrageous Okana
I completely agree about the writing in this show. NONE of the jokes in the damned thing were funny. And who'd have thought, that single bit about lasers not penetrating the nav shields would start a war between Trek and Wars.

the women are mighty fine.
They look like Phyllis Diller,
and walk like Frankenstein.

Pretty much sums up the VS debates nicely, I think.
