     There are millions of people who like NuTrek as well.  But bear   
   in mind that I wasn't talking about TNG in its entirety.  I was talking   
   about just the first season of it.  And I believe my opinion, that the   
   show was struggling at first but managed to find its feet at about the   
   same time that Riker grew the beard is quite widespread.  It's even a   
   tvtrope.
