Being in my late twenties, I wasn’t around for the start of the Star Trek phenomenon, but thankfully when The Next Generation started I was able to jump on to the band wagon and hang on for dear life. It was my first taste of Star Trek, and one that will always hold a special place in my heart. Sure, there was a time I held up Deep Space Nine as the pinnacle of the Trek franchise, but I never forgot my love of Tng.
It was the stories the series spun that got me the most. From Data, impersonating Sherlock Holmes, matching wits with a holographic Professor Moriarty to the omnipotent Q, stripped of his powers, trying to get his head around the concept of sleep, the series enthralled the barely decade old me, and continues to do so to this very day whenever I catch an old episode on the T.
