Same. Along with "I have something very important to tell you but just can't find the time to say it and now you're going to fuck yourself because I haven't told you", which is irritating.As long as it doesn’t develop in to a “I must hide my secret” plot line. I don’t think it will, but i find such stories like that suspect as I really hate that scenario as a driving plot device.
petaQ!Nerd.
What?Classic Trek style episode where the emphasis is on developing the characters, and not so much the problem they have to solve.
TNG doesn't have a great deal of development beyond Data, really. I guess Wesley, but nobody likes him anyway.TNG maybe? For many that’s “classic” Trek.
Hell, TNG is as old now as TOS was when I first started watching TNG in syndication in the afternoons as a kid.
It’s wild to think TOS is almost 60 years old.
Was that 1993 for you?Hell, TNG is as old now as TOS was when I first started watching TNG in syndication in the afternoons as a kid.
If you can, by and large, show episodes (aside from 2-parters) wildly out of order from years apart with very little to no impact or noticeability, then I will say you have an episodic, problem-of-the-week, very-light-on-character-development tv show.TNG maybe? For many that’s “classic” Trek.

I like that no one ever asks him about it either, brilliant.Picard lived an entire extra life in Inner Light, and while it seemed to affect him deeply for about the last 20 seconds of the episode, it changed him not in the slightest by the following episode and wasn't even ever referenced again.

I also enjoy that Riker has an evil twin somewhere and no one can really be arsed to mention that post the episode, I think it might come up literally once.
Worf got plenty, especially in seasons 4-7 with the Klingon Civil War, Duras, being branded a coward for the sake of the Empire, interactions with Gowron, etc.TNG doesn't have a great deal of development beyond Data, really. I guess Wesley, but nobody likes him anyway.
Yeah, I wasn't too clear there. Was braindead after a long work week.What?
I keep looking at this sentece, like am I reading this right? Are you talking about the classic Trek style where every episode had almost zero character development and was always completely about solving the problem of the current episode?
I have just never heard anyone describe the "classic Trek style" the way you have above.
Oh fuck off I was there for the premier at 11 years oldWas that 1993 for you?
Star Trek premiere - Sep 8th, 1966
TNG premiere - September 26, 1987
And I just learned TNG is one week older than me. Fuck I'm old now too. Awesome.
Season 3, Episode 9. "Defiant". Thomas appears fooling everyone he's William Riker. Apparently his DNA, fingerprints and retinal scans are an exact copy of Will. He's part of the terrorist group The Marquee but does surrender to the Federation at the end. His final fate is unresolved.I think it comes up on DS9 lol.

Maquis. Close enough, lol. Big lost opportunity for his character once shit got real with the Dominion and Cardassia later on.Season 3, Episode 9. "Defiant".

Agreed, and the way he died was super lame. It's the 25th century, they could have beamed his ass to the med bay and he would have been fine. If Picard can survive getting stabbed in the heart, he can survive getting stabbed in the throat with no blood pouring everywhere. Oh well, plot and stuff...Just watched I, Borg.
I’m still miffed they killed Hugh in Picard. What a waste.
