TNG, Season 1
Mar. 30th, 2011 01:21 pmIt's been too long, and yet, not long enough.
Riker hadn't grown the beard yet, Tasha leaned on tactical and Worf lurked behind her, glowering a lot. Troi's only purpose was to state the obvious and wear low-cut dresses, while everyone else was stuffed into one-piece uniforms a size too small. Data trotted out his thesaurus when anyone said anything and Wesley was just an annoying wunderkind. Geordi still wore red and flew the ship while they went through a succession of one-episode chief engineers.
And who can forget the deep, nuanced plots - like "Drugs Are Bad", "Capital Punishment is Bad", "War Profiteers are Bad", and "Sexism is Bad, Especially When Women Are In Charge"? Also, it was important to emphasize at every point that Humanity is Totally Awesome now, usually by being very smug about it to less perfect and enlightened societies.
