Remmber how wooden and lifeless Picard and his crew were when TNG started? It took almost two seasons before they came to life on the screen. I almost couldn’t watch it. If it hadn’t been a continuation of Star Trek the show would probably not have made it. So many millions of fans wanted it to make it becuase of the need for more Star Trek.

I think it took pacifist liberal Gene Roddenberry's death to improve the show, by making it darker and emphasizing more of Starfleet's "militariness" in the show's later seasons.

Still, I'll take TOS over TNG any day.

I didn't last two years ... you were very patient.
