   TNG imo did get better in it's later seasons, but your right it was a bit   
   boring. Too PC and predictable for me, still liked it better than VOY   
   though. Wesley and his haemorrhaging-heart Mum were even more annoying than   
   Neelix.   
   I wish Paramount would box up all "the Klingon episodes" from all the   
   series, that I might buy. Guess I'll have to track down someone that has   
   them all the boxed sets and.... yarrr.
