Star Trek: The Next Generation/YMMV: Difference between revisions

*** Apparently this was, in large part, due to Marina Sirtis' request. She was tired of the goofy/fanservicey jumpsuits and wanted to be in uniform like everyone else. When she saw the plot of the episode she jumped on the opportunity to suggest it to the production staff.

** Also in the first episode of season two Geordi and Worf received promotions to Chief of Engineering and Chief of Security, which allowed their characters to grow and arguably had a much greater impact on the show's quality than Riker's beard (since, even beardless, Riker already had a reputation as a badass).

* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: Watching Picard break down while bonded to Sarek in the episode "Sarek", is a bit more difficult to watch knowing that Picard may very well share the same fate in his future.

* [[Hatedom]]: Wesley, obviously, but Riker also has one going on... apparently some of the awkward, shy young males watching the show were ''deeply'' resentful of his success with women. There's an entire subgenre of TNG fanfiction that focuses on humiliating him (sexually, socially, and professionally), usually in order to build up another character that better fits with the writer's idea of someone who "deserves" sex (usually Geordi or Data).
