Star Trek TNG is Tops in Sci-fi
There are many shows in the sci-fi genre but none will ever top Star Trek TGN (The Next Generation). When I first heard there was to be a new Star Trek series, I was upset. How could anyone carry on the traditions of Captain Kirk, Spock, and Bones. They were each one of a kind and could never be replicated. I just would not watch this new show! However, the time came when couriosity overcame loyalty.
To my surprise I quickly came to know and admire Captain Picard and his crew. The characters had great depth and tackled some very serious delemmas. I was facinated by their pasts and intrigued to see how the past affected the present. The different backgrounds gave them special talents and abilities which contributed to the 
successes they experienced in each episode. Seeing how they interacted with each other and the other species they encountered lead me to examine my relationships and to have more respect for differences in people. Will’s allegience, Data’s scientific outlook, each character let us see the world through his eyes and it gave me a larger view of life. The ship itself was quite interesting. I have tried to imagine what kind of programs I would want to create on the holodeck. The possibilites are limitless. I know that I would want to learn to meet challenges with intelligence and sensitivity as these characters often did. However, I would want to have the strength and courage to physically fight if that were necessary. In my opinion, Star Trek TNG is top notch sci-fi.
