Actually Troi and Worf did get together eventually in the normal TNG universe. Then Worf gets killed (or was it Troi? God, I can't even remember). One thing is for sure, Worf's hair got much cooler toward the end. Dig that long ponytail. Very sexy.

I just wrote this scene and will be sending it in with my application for a position as a Trek scriptwriter...PS: *I* get Q. Understand?

He and Troi did get together, didn't they? I don't remember them kissing or anything, I think it was more of an implied together... Was it the final episode or one of the movies? I do remember that Worf and Riker were fighting, so it was Troi who was killed.

You're also right about Worf's hair--much better in later seasons.


I suppose you can have Q, if I can have Picard.

Ennazus

I'm thinking you may want to add some seatbelt installation to your script. Flying out of chairs is much too frequent on the Enterprise.

I am getting tired of the stronger (warrior, security officer, big huge alien with superior strength, etc..) getting their asses kicked by someone smaller or weaker. Worf got his ass kicked more times then can be counted. In the Star Trek drinking game you're supposed to take a shot when Worf gets beat up. You could end up very, very drunk very quickly.

And the Warp drive ALWAYS failing at the wrong moment. If a Ferengi sneezes in another quadrant the stupid warp drive fails. How can the Federation be the (implied) leaders of the quadrant with such fragile technology.

And it must hurt to be so high and mighty all the time. Barclay was the only semi-realistic character because he had some real problems. Maybe they put Prozac in their replicators.

I can't think of a single flaw with Data. He's perfect in every way!! (Yes he is!) (Is to!) (No, you're a dork!)

Regarding Troi and Worf:

If I recall correctly, they lead up to the concept of a relationship between the two of them in the last few episodes of The Next Generation. In the final episode ("All Good Things"), Picard walked in on them just as they were sharing a kiss.

In that episode, they jumped forward in time, and it was made clear that Troi had died (how wasn't made clear), and that Worf and Riker blamed each other for her death. Of course, in that alternate future, the Enterprise-D was still in existence some 25 years after the events of The Next Generation.

In the first TNG movie, Generations, there's no real hint of a Troi/Worf romance, and the Enterprise-D is destroyed. So, apparently, what was shown in "All Good Things" was only a possible future. [Come to think of it, though, I seem to recall that as the Enterprise-D's saucer section was plunging toward the planet's surface, Worf and Deanna did look at each other quite intently for a few moments.]

Of course, after the destruction of the Enterprise-D, Worf went to Deep Space 9. Eventually, of course, he married Jadzia Dax, so he seems to have gotten over Troi.

At about the same time, the relationship between Riker and Troi seems to have been reignited, and they were married in Star Trek: Nemesis.

The question i have is with all the characters, shouldnt there be a lot more enlisted personel besides O'Brian. seems that of the 1000+ people on the next generation shoulda been more then 1 enlisted, and 999+ officer. Or at least if starfleet is consistant with most modern navies. That and somehow i never could tell the diffrence in his uniform and everybody else.

Ah, but Star Trek is nothing like modern militaries - for some bizarre reason absolutely everyone goes to Starfleet Academy.

Sakpo

A ridiculous ST moment in that vein: learning that the United States Marine Corps, United States Army Rangers, etc still exist as the "Federation Marines" and "Federation Ground Forces" and such, and all the marines and rangers go to Starfleet Academy first. That'd be like sending all members of the army to Westpoint...Oh and apparently all the individual planets have "National Guards" (is each planet a nation?), and many of their members, go to Starfleet Academy. How do all these people fit in Starfleet Academy? Couldn't they open a second school? Or would all the National Guard troops go shoot up any second school ?(probably not, since the capital of the universe seems to be San Francisco)

Btw, don't say any of this around Picard unless you want his best lecture about how Starfleet is not a military force.

3 things I hate about Star Trek:

Any episode involving time travel.

Any episode involving a transporter malfunction.

Any episode involving the holodeck (as a major plot device).

If we could wipe out all those episodes, it'd make my day. Of course, it'd also wipe out about 80% of all Star Trek episodes!

Sakpo

I definitely agree about time travel episodes, transporter malfunctions are very annoying/over used on TNG, I agree, though not enought to ruin an episode. As for holodecks, generally true, but with exceptions. Any TNG episode where they decided "hey, let's use the holodeck as a plot device to put Worf in the Old West and make him Sheriff or make Picard a private detective in 1930s San Francisco, and he'll bring along Ensign Sho'otme Idie, was lame. The one where LaForge had to find a way to get the Enterprise past a boobie trap/bunch of meteors where he recreated the woman who designed the ships warp drive/engines on the holodeck made pretty good use of the holodeck, though maybe it was just overshadowed by the sheer volume of Treknobabble. The DS9 one where Quark uses the holodeck to demonstrate illegal weapons made alright use of the holodeck. Funnily enough, that episode also featured the same guy who'd played the holodeck gangster in TNG, this time as an alien warlord.
