Star Trek TNG is not my favorite Trek show, but I do have a sentimental spot for the best episodes of the middle seasons (s3 to s5), because that was the first Trek TV I ever watched (my gateway to Trek were the movies with the TOS crew and the Trek comic books of the 80s and early 90s.)
FYI, the TNG theme was originally the theme for the first Trek movie. IMO, the latter is unwatchable, but what a great piece of music it contributed to the franchise! Thank you, Jerry Goldsmith -- hope you're conducting celestial orchestras in heaven.
And, of course, HAPPY 50TH ANNIVERSARY, STAR TREK!!

No! It's so interesting to watch again! It's like opening up a time capsule. Such a pastiche of 2001 and Rod Serling or something. It's like they just didn't know what to do with themselves. and yet Decker/Bald Chick was such a precursor to Riker/Troi.
FWIW, I can kinda see where you're coming from, because there are some allegedly overproduced, incoherent, and directionless movies that are extremely unpopular with most viewers, which I actually love. To name two examples, "Event Horizon" and "Exorcist II: The Heretic."
The latter also has a wonderful score by the great Ennio Morricone:
I struggled with iTunes and finally puzzled out the track-buying process, just so I could own the version of this super-unsuccessful Blues LP which enjoyed an amazing 1,000- copy run when I was nine years old. I do recommend it.
Now you know why I've been gone so long. I'm not real good at understanding computer stuff.
Note to self: maybe naming a business enterprise "Oblivion" wouldn't be such a great idea if I ever want it to expand past the corner of the laundry room.
Hey, Kids! My "Cranky and Kitschy" collage art is now viewable on DeviantArt! Drop by and tell me that I sent you. *updated often!*
You'd think a track like Fast Fast Women and a Slow Race Horse" would have had some staying power for the title alone.
I'm going through the old radio episodes of X Minus One, sci fi stories from the 1950s. Good stuff for the most part and interesting how many of these stories may have been the source for more modern tales and movies (body switching, time travel, renegade computers). There's a lot of Mars, quite a few are set in the far flung years of the 1990s and, for the most part, it's all men, except for one story about a feminist society (which turns out to be man-crazy).
