Star Trek - The Next Generation
| Fact File | | Creator | | Gene Roddenberry | | Copyright | | Paramount | | Run | | 1987 - 1994 |
| After a break of 18 years, the crew of the Starship Enterprise are to begin a new series of adventures into the unknown. This time there will be peace between the Federation and the Klingons to such an extent that a Klingon will now be part of the crew. Whereas the Klingons in the first series were very human like, the new series, they have changed with ridges on their head. The change in look is believed to be explained in an episode of Deep Space Nine. If anyone knows why then please email me and let me know. The command of the U.S.S. Enterprise is now under the steward ship of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, a Frenchman played by an Englishman. We are introduced to new worlds and aliens such as the Ferengi and Cardassians. The Romulans first appeared in the Original Series but in this series they appear more frequently. We are also introduced so Q ( an omnipotent alien ) and the Borg, an alien race from the Delta Quadrant who assimulate other races into their own. Whoopie Goldberg appears on occasions as a special guest as an El Aurian bar lady. With a bigger budget now, the planets don't look so cardboard anymore. |

| | Laura | November 6, 2006, 9:29 pm | | I like everybody. And the show. My first major scifi show. I like Worf and Deanna Troi, but I also like Worf and Riker's friendship. Nice energetic guy, Riker! Picard was excellently played by Patrick Stewart. All the actors are talented, I've seen them in other movies too.
I like the Klingons, as a culture, even if it seems crueler or fiercer. And the Betaziods too. A masterpiece of scifi. |
| | Alain N | | | Hi, About the reason why Klingons in the original series look more like "humans" whereas in the Next Generation they look more alien, is explained in Star Trek: Enterprise (season 4, if memory serves), the very first Starfleet ship (the Federation doesn't exist yet), starring Scott Bakula from Code Quantum. The story takes about 50 years after first contact with the Vulcan, so about a 100 year before the Original serie with Kirk. The Enterprise is the very first deep space starship of Earth. It is only capable of warp 5 max, got no shields, no tractor beam... well not very sophisticated. Anyway, the reason is because the Klingons tried to enhanced their race by tempering wiht their genes. The reason of this is because a bird of prey was hijacked only 2 humans augments (genetically enhanced humans), who managed to overcome an entire crew of Klingons ! After the incident, the Klingon High Council decided to do some research in this area and took as a template some human augments gene samples. Unfortunately, their experiment didn't quite worked out and in the process, they also developped an new lethal disease. Fortunately the Enterprise Doctor and captain Archer managed to save the day for the Klingons. But all the klingons who were exposed to the experiment would lose their ridges and look like humans and they passed on these features to their descendants for a few generations, because the genetic alteration is only temporary. Of course, augments research is banned on Earth after the Eugenic war. All augments were thought to be dead. That was without taking into account their "father", Dr Soong (whose later work led to the ceation of the android Data, in ST: The Next Gen.) has hidden a few embryos... |
