By fatcats3@gmail.com (Mike Lynch) From Eugene Roddenberry, here are a bunch of final moments from a bunch of TNG episodes. I never thought about it, but now that I've seen these scenes -- with an ending line and the fanfare as the Enterprise swooshes away for another adventure -- well -- that is one of my favorite bits.

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) The plot of “Ensign Ro” has yet another high ranking Starfleet official going rogue. There is something bout becoming an admiral that seems to corrupt.

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) We both forgot Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, the Emmys in the telecast and me in my post on those who left us this year. She was not a great actress or particularly well known outside of Star Trek, but that is still enough to make merit a mention. Mea culpa for however much blame I deserve.

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) “The Vengeance Factor’ is a straightforward, action oriented, non-peachy installment of TNG.

There got to be less of that over the years, but Star Trek still did keep developing stories that used new theories and ideas. But...

By Ronald D.

By Ed Driscoll Around 1964, Gene Roddenberry came up with the now legendary “transporter” effect for Star Trek, mostly out of necessity.
