This is a spit in the face of Star Trek fans, cannon, cast, and accomplishments. At its best, a 2 & 1/2 year campy, low budget series, changed the world. Real space ships were named after fictional ones. Actors inspired future astronauts and became space travelers themselves. It spawned a $ Billion + franchise spanning TV, Movies, Books, Video Games, Comics, Trading Cards, Toys, a Las Vegas attraction, fan fiction and more.
Rodenberry addressed racism, sexism, tyranny, addiction, depression, mental illness, war, abuse of power and more without ever making me feel like a child or an outcast. I still don't know his personal politics (I can assume) because his show never beat me over the head with it. This show, and the other contemporary series, did both and more.
This shows sins? Killing Q. Dragging 90 year old Sir Patrick Stewart through garbage in a cash grab, AND ruining the BORG! The BORG Queen murdered trillions and assimilated or destroyed over 10,000 alien species because she was LONELY!? All it took was a white woman to talk to her?
Let ST: TNG go down as some of the best 7 years of television and a few entertaining movies. Leave the aged cast to cameos. Develop Will Wheaton (Wesley Traveler), Alexander Rochenko (House of Moug), ECheb, Q2, and move on.
