Trivia:

Gates McFadden (Dr. Crusher) is the only regularly appearing doctor from any of the five series not to say "I'm a doctor, not a ____" in some capacity. Diana Muldaur (Dr. Pulaski) never said it either, but she was not credited as a regularly appearing cast member.

Goofs:

Continuity: The object on the small, waist-high stand in Picard's ready room (to the right of the door to the Bridge) changes many times throughout the series. Most of the time, it is a yellow-gold model of Picard's old ship, the Constellation Class Stargazer. At other times, such as in Season 1's "The Battle" and "Hide And Q", it is a silver-grey model of the Constitution Class Enterprise-A/ refit Enterprise. And in Season 1's "The Arsenal of Freedom", it is the star-globe that was once on the opposite side of the room, between the sofa and Picard's desk. Also, when it is the Stargazer, it changes the direction it is facing, sometimes even multiple times in one episode.

Quotes:

Lieutenant Worf:Mrs. Troi... I must protest your unauthorized presence on the bridge!
Lwaxana Troi:[pointing to tactical console] What does that little one do Mr. Woof?
Lieutenant Worf:Please Madame! That's is a torpedo launch initiator and it's - it is Worf madame, not Woof.

Greatest Sci-Fi series of its time

People that watch science fiction seem to forget that Star Trek: The Next Generation was filmed from 1987 to 1994, and that it accomplished the breakthrough technical wizardry we now see in other sci-fi movies and television shows.

It was Star Trek: The Next Generation (STTNG) that accomplished the "orange screen", reducing by 2/3 the cost of shooting space sequences. It was STTNG that finally allowed for a very advanced and yet BELIEVABLE "evolved" human behavior involved in space travel.

I admired Captain Jean-Luc Picard for his reserved Brit style, and the tension between him and Dr. Beverly Crusher. Who did not like watching Lieutenant Commander Data and Lieutenant Geordi LaForge spar over human behavior? What about the short brilliant life of Lieutenant Natasha Yar? Who didn't tune in to see that? Commander William Riker was amazing to watch, as he grew a beard and a conscience -- while still being able to keep up with the great Lieutenant Worf, the only Klingon (as yet) in Star Fleet!?

Those of you out there trying still to wage the Star Wars - Star Trek battle for supremacy -- grow up! They are both inspiring stories in different universes.
