Stardate: 66394.9 - It's the truth. STAR TREK: TNG was an amazing show once it got rolling. As a kid I remember watching it religiously and once it went into syndication I can remember it coming on in the afternoons and I would catch it after school. With so many amazing episodes in it's long run - they had some great writers onboard who were able to weave all kinds of lessons and messages into the show. This particular episode; "DARMOK" always stood out as being one that had a strong message about understanding and appreciating the diversity in the world around us - there were lots of episodes like this but this one I always felt told it in a very unique way.
Another fond memory of the show strikes me a few years back; when we'd gather to work on the TFAD project and it was around the same time my friends Gilbert#1 and Jay were getting their comic "Super" going. We'd watch TNG and DS9 all afternoon when they'd run those programs on SpikeTV. Those were dark times for myself but I can remember good times throughout many of which involved Star Trek. It was then that I remember the idea of a spin-off show being brought up, featuring Riker and Worf in a Miami Vice meets Midnight Cowboy type-deal.
