Look, I'm just not a fan of Trek in general. But I think my mortification at Next Gen is due to it being far too recent a show such that I recognize all the players from other stuff I liked better, yet old enough that the acting choices, effects, and haircuts are still ridiculous. It's actually hard to watch. It'll get better and it will be like TOS, where it's ridiculous but harmless.

Either way, it doesn't really matter to me since I probably still won't be watching it.
