Man hearing the parts about Star Trek TNG makes me wish we had a new one on TV. I loved TNG. There weren't that many episodes I didn't truly love. Star Trek is about showing what people, working for betterment of mankind (not cash profits or anything like that), can do. You take out racism, sexism, social classes, and even the idea that the humans are a superior race and you shine a light on the individual works of a few coming together to make an everlasting change.
That, to me, is what is great about Star Trek.

I'd still throw Counselor Troi a piece...

LeVar is awesome. I was so sad to hear that Reading Rainbow was going off the air. I've been getting them on Netflix for my eldest daughter, but it's just not the same.

I remember when I was a kid when there was an episode of Roots on and the whole family and neighbors would watch it. It was an impact.
When I grew up, I didn't want to watch it until I was ready and I can relate to his daughter... and it was a good thing I waited or I would have missed too much stuff.
I still haven't finished the show. I need to pick it up again, I'm about 1/2 way through.
