   Hey if Trek fans didn't think that bad trek was better than no trek, TNG   
   would never have survived into a second season.

   Whatever.  You have quite a high opinion of yourself that you would appear   
   to feel your opinion holds more validity than mine and the millions of other   
   TNG fans who liked it.  Hell...the show ran for SEVEN years.   
   Personally...I've always held that rendition in higher regard than the   
   original series.  Tastes DO vary,  Doesn't make me "right" or you "wrong"   
   for that matter.  Just means we don't share identical tastes.
