Last night, I just finished watching the last of “Star Trek – The Next Generation” on Netflix streaming. Yep, I watched all 7 seasons and every episode back to back on there. Started watching the show back in the Spring, I think and been watching it all summer. It’s a pretty long show. There’s about 26 episodes for each season. I had a blast re-watching them all. I still remember every episode too! Such a great show! While I do like every episode I’ve seen, my favorites are: “The Best of Both Worlds 1 &2” (which is considered a classic), “Skin of Evil”, “Datalore”, “I, Borg”, and “Genesis”.

After watching, “ST: TNG”, why did this series end so soon? Why was there 7 seasons and 4 films of the TNG series when they could have gone on a little longer? Well, there’s a few reasons for that. I would love the TNG cast to reunite for one last TNG movie but that’s probably not gonna happen ever. A couple of reasons are that most of the cast members of the TNG cast wanted to retire and move on for example Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner (who plays Data). Brent Spiner no longer wanted to play Data ’cause Brent is aging and Data was never meant to grow old & die. Patrick Stewart wanted to retire ’cause he has been working on TNG for pretty much most of his life. Plus, another reason there hasn’t been a 5th TNG movie ’cause the last couple of TNG movies: “Insurrection” and “Nemesis” got so much negative feedback and both of them flopped in the box office. It’s a shame there’ll never be another TNG movie but it’s understandable why.

TNG was a great series, though. I think I’ll move on to “Deep Space Nine” next on Netflix streaming. I never got to watch all of that show when it was on TV back in the day.
