TSG again from the start

[Ursula]

Have just started watching TSG again from the start.  The early episodes are a bit clunkier than I remember, but somehow that makes me enjoy it all the more because it reminds me of TOS.  Although, I do like Riker with a bit more weight on him that he has  in the pilot.

I assume you mean TNG (The Next Generation). Yeah it's fun to watch the entire series from beginning to end.

I tend to skip seasons 1 and 2 of TNG. There are some decent shows but my lord there were some clunkers in there. Sometimes I think it's amazing it made it past the second season.

As a side note, Wil Wheaton will be releasing Volume 1 of his new book "Memories of the Future" which I believe will consists of humorous  synopses of season 1 episodes along with his memories and memories of his former cast mates. This should be an awesome book.

There's no specific link as far as I know but he talks about it often on his blog.

I and my girlfreind are currently watching alot of the TNG episodes from the early seasons on up. Many of them are new for her, I remember alot of them from way back. We get a kick out of the old uniforms. (Men in mini-skirts? What the heck were they thinking?) The music can be a little over the top sometimes too. The stories still hold up after all this time though. Good times. We need a new Trek series! :borg

Its funny the early seasons are so dated, but then and i tend to think its once Ryker gets his beard and the uniforms become two peice the whole series gets better. love TNG, LOVE IT.

I have said this before, but I love the first two seasons.  You know why?  There was a cheese factor in it.  They were more stand alone sci fi episodes.  I just liked that.  Reminded me of the old Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers with Gil Gerrard.  Fun Fun!

[Meds]

That and you just love cheese. ;)

And the guacamole can cause terrible static when dipped in the aerial.

I probably have said this before, but when TNG came out I was quite skeptical that the magic of TOS could happen again. I was willing to give it a try however, and I'm sure glad I did. By the end of season two I was becoming a fan and by the end of season three I was addicted. Some aspects of the show do look dated now but I do not watch movies or TV shows the way some people do. Being a huge fan of movies from Hollywood's golden age I am accustomed to viewing material within the "context" of it's times. Thus bad sfx in the Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon serials from the 1930s just add a vintage quality to those films. The same with TNG. It's the stories and the characters that really matter, and TNG had good characters overall and excellent stories.

I began to watch TNG in 1986 but college got in the way. I never actually watched the whole shooting match on DVD until 2001! But I loved it and went on to catch up with Star Trek. :)

Ah yes, of course I meant TNG (what the hell is TSG!?).  Good to see my typo is preserved for eternity in the heading of my post.

Do you have a favorite episode from the first couple of seasons? I'm just curious.
