In Trek's allegedly pluralistic society they live together with entire species that give proof of other ways of life. Vulcans reject any form of emotion and yet apparently have a rich existence.<br /><br />Seems like the United States- I mean <i>Federation</i> of Planets is a WASP- erm, human-run club.Esebianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17352289295517890623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956838.post-80199708782793875102014-02-15T12:00:25.139-08:002014-02-15T12:00:25.139-08:00Well Jim, I was 14 when TNG premiered and I still ...Well Jim, I was 14 when TNG premiered and I still think TOS has aged better.erickingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15782878667594739997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956838.post-55354115378259854252014-02-15T11:59:23.593-08:002014-02-15T11:59:23.593-08:00The biggest sissy in the Star Trek universe is Q. ...The biggest sissy in the Star Trek universe is Q.

...Agreed and agreed (esp. with respect to Guinan)!<br /><br />Love is another thing that I have always felt is conspicuously absent in TNG. Of course, there are countless (and rather conventional) examples—it seems nearly everyone ends up hooking up sooner or later, the "fatherly" love between Picard and Wesley, Crusher and Picard's affection, etc.. <br /><br />But on the whole, the crew lacks the familial sort of love that gets me all warm and fuzzy every time I watch TOS. But maybe I am just vibing off your previous post. In any case, my two cents.<br /><br /><a href="http://31.media.tumblr.com/0007fefa6e414a75e27d5831bc16924e/tumblr_mx8gdvE2of1r60h6bo5_r1_250.gif" rel="nofollow">http://31.media.tumblr.com/0007fefa6e414a75e27d5831bc16924e/tumblr_mx8gdvE2of1r60h6bo5_r1_250.gif</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956838.post-49559464033805458062014-02-14T08:27:25.737-08:002014-02-14T08:27:25.737-08:00> . . .but Riker. . .
