Hey Hoppy...., :)
you forgot the episodes with "Q", ferengi, and the Borg.
These are some of my favorite episodes. Maybe you covered them already.
I guess that was one differing concept with TNG, a more than one episode
approach to adversary development.
But as movies go, I'd have to prefer the "classic" Star Trek 1 - 6
over the last three "TNG movies". However, I did really love
First Contact. (and I haven't seen the last movie, but the first
TNG movie with tie-in the old series wasn't that good - proves that
Shatner isn't a good actor....screenplay didn't help, though!)
Anyways, I usually don't post too much stuff that isn't related to
Lego. But I do like to take the opportunity to watch some decent
movies, (sometimes many times over!!) when I am not busy designing
a model or busy with school work.
