Captain Picard has to be the worst captain in Federation history.

He is constantly sending his most important crew members into dangerous situations. Stopping sending No. 2 and No 3 to the planet -- send No. 198 and No 236!

Data is a one-of-a-kind all-knowing super computer. LOCK HIM IN A ROOM. Don't send down to challenge the blob monster.

Sending no1 to the orgy planet was fine. I still stand by my argument that they should have called the show,
"The Erotic Adventures of Number One"

Once Picard saw someone in this outfit he should have disregarded The Prime Directive and blown up the planet.

Why is Stardate so complicated? Why can't it be April 6, 3103 or whatever?

Why doesn't Picard go warp 9 everywhere, and just get there faster? Why warp 4.5?

Klingon softporn!

No 1 should be captain -- Picard is f'ing useless!

Also, they're supposed to be in a post-scarcity society where money is meaningless, but yet they're constantly betting and playing cards.

Deanna is like a young space Marianne Williamson.

The Prime Directive is more of a suggestion than a rule.

Crew members keep falling in love with holodeck characters. This seems unhealthy.

Picard just walked in on Geordi, who was flirting with Holodeck "Dr. Leah Brahms" instead of figuring out how to save the ship. Awkward!

Every planet has the perfect gravity and oxygen levels -- and 80s fashion sense. Star Trek people never has to put on a space suit. Only a Benetton sweater from time to time.

How has the Federation not stolen/invented Romulan cloaking technology? It's been hundreds of years.

Transporter rooms are superfluous. They can transport people straight to the bridge -- and yet Picard is always sending Worf to escort people all the way back.

Also, there's only one elevator on the bridge.

The Klingons are barbarians. Why would Worf have to stand trial for his father's alleged sins?

Picard doppelganger hitting on Dr Crusher -- it's all about the attitude and the outfit.

Engage!

Season three is fantastic.

There is more sexual tension on Star Trek: The Next Generation than there was on Dynasty.

The models and aliens won't leave a speedo-clad Picard alone on the hedonistic planet of Risa.

"Brody's got friends in every town and village from here to the Sudan."

Question for the geeks: Do the stardates make any sense?

The Federation is corrupt. Every episode they show up there is an abuse of power or some horrible injustice.

'What finger am I thinking of now, Betazoid!?' (those guys are the worst)

The most implausible thing about TNG is not the magical food-making machine, but that Riker has somehow survived as a high-ranking officer in a post-MeToo world.

We make Riker jokes, but he's a badass. Recall: when interning on the Klingon ship, he beat down their No 1, earning everyone's respect. Klingons learned a lot about humans that day -- and maybe a little something about themselves, as well.
