Season 1 had to be like that tho, they were operating under a writer's strike which really affected the quality of Season 1 of TNG.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
But I bet it's hard currency in the land of fanfic crossovers.
I got it from the Trek novels.
Those are some pretty great DS9 episodes.

John McGrath discusses TNG with his fiancee Vicki:
Vicki: Which episode is this?
Me: The one with the alien that turns in to the glowing energy being at the end.
Vicki:....
Me: I should be more specific.
"Me" in this quote is John, not me.

I think "the one with temporal anomaly" would have been the only more non-specific answer he could have given.

Star Trek: TNG. The show that begs the question: at what point are anomolies common enough that they can no longer be said to be anomolous?

I don't think I've ever seen the first TNG episode, or even that much of the first two-three seasons, except in rerun. Part of the problem with being stationed overseas and not having compatible technology. I wasn't about to fork out the dough for a European television when any shows I did get would have been dubbed in Spanish anyhow. I only used my TV for watching movies on a VCR as it was. One of these days I'm going to have to Netflix TNG to get all the backstory I missed by the time I got back stateside in '89.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, considering time's happing just about everywhere just about all the time, I think the anomalies we've seen take up a pretty small percentage of it.

Do you get Sci Fi? TNG is on most all the time.

I do, indeed, I do. However, I've noticed if I really want to get a good grip on a series and any arc developements, it helps to watch everything in order. And if SciFi is anything like USA and they way they run NCIS repeats, I will be frustrated by being exposed to 4 repeats of some episodes and none of others. The continuity sucks and I'm about to breakdown and just Netflix all 5 seasons of NCIS just to get to the 10-15 episodes USA continutes to taunt me with.

Okay, but they were always finding anomolies, and considering the vastness of space and the odds of happening upon any given anomoly, they start to seem like Starbucks after a while.
