"These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise... Its
continuing mission..." (setting -- the 24th century)
From 1987 until 1994, the producers of the second STAR TREK
series dared to try in first-run syndication what had only been done
once before on the television screen. This time, they produced a
weekly series focusing on the adventures of the crew of a newer and
bigger starship, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D. This ship would
fly under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, support a larger
crew, and feature, on a weekly basis, some of the most
technologically advanced special effects.
The series stayed in production for a total of seven seasons, thanks
to an ever-increasing populous of loyal STAR TREK fans, and ended
with a total of 177 episodes. Star Trek: The Next Generation became
the highest rated syndicated dramatic series on television as its run
progressed, and is still in high demand today, running in syndication
around the world.
The Galaxy-class Starship Enterprise is guided by a leader who is
both an intellectual and an explorer, Captain Jean-Luc Picard
(Patrick Stewart). The second in command -- often referred to as
"Number One" -- is First Officer William Riker (Jonathan Frakes),
with their science officer, the android, Lieutenant Commander Data
(Brent Spiner). Counselor Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) serves as the
ship's psychologist, and seeing that all is well with the warp
engines is Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton). Overseeing
sickbay is Chief Medical Officer Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden). An
interesting twist, Chief of Security Lieutenant Worf (Michael Dorn)
serves as the only Klingon on the ship. Down below, in Ten Forward
lounge, Whoopi Goldberg appears as the recurring character of Guinan.
Frequently taunting the crew is the seemingly omnipotent being known
simply as "Q" (John de Lancie).
