I love Netflix, I really do. The ability to have so much tv, and moves easily accesible at a pretty good price is extraordinary. Some people don't like it due to many factors but the biggest is selection but I say to these people that you just need to explore, its not about what you want, its about what you could like. However I did not come here to talk about Netflix but instead I wanted to speak about Star Trek, with a focus on The Next Generation.
I have loved, been disappointed, ashamed even with Star Trek. Luckily I am at a age of my life, and in state of mind that I enjoy the show quite a bit, though not as devoted as I once was in my youth. With Netflix I have recently been watching TNG, nothing absurd just a few episodes here and there and I forgot how great of a show it is. It is not my favorite but I have to say TNG really is able to capture a ships crew. It is the most extraordinary part of the show is the characters who interact. People are aware of each other, they clearly get along in and outside the show and it really just makes for a wonderful time.
While I watched the show I realized this was the essence of the 90's. The world was in a bliss of technology, money and even culturally the world felt it was doing things right. TNG is a spawn of this as it exist in a world of pure exploration in a society that was clearly in bliss, the president worse thing was that he got a blow job. I mean come on if that was the worst thing to happen for a president, you are doing well...quite well!
Anyway so since watching TNG is is really amazing to see the switch to Battlestar Galactica or any recent shows which have turned darker, attempting to tell more realistic tales. I do wish shows would at times go back to a more fun style, maybe even giving the world some more peace but who knows.
These are my thoughts on it all, and I know are quite dry but I am trying to write more so deal with it!
