Your Gowron guy in 89 was a pic of Michael Dorn! Also met Armin Shimerman at a Galaxycon in Richmond 2 years ago, he also played Quark on DS9, and while all the folks were cool to talk to, he was the best! Took pics with him and he went out of his way to be friendly. Again all the Star Trek folks were great, he was just a little better than even them.

I’m halfway through watching The Next Generation for the, erm, nth time, and if it wasn’t for the screen ratio you’d swear it was made only recently. A series made way before it’s time. It’s great to see that most of the actors are still with us. Thank you for this lovely tribute and more importantly thank you to all the actors who made it such an incredible show.

[@rachelcookie321]

I mean, some of the special effects are dated and it’s got that “retro future” vibe but yea

[@CashIsKing_UseItOrLoseIt]

For me at the very least it was really great that (from memory) right from the get go the sets never featured any picture tube tv's.

[@LadyJoolree]

You're right, but I think they've remastered it. Especially in Season 1 scenes where the resolution has been boosted you can see some of the sets just about pass muster. Doesn't stop it being, in my opinion, the best Trek.

[@reryro1266]

You shouldn't be thanking the hacks who make these videos -- strictly for views (money). They have no idea what Star Trek is or who the actors were -- as evidenced by the ridiculous mistakes they always make, like with Dorn/O'Reilly here.

Wow. I'm now older than virtually all of these actors as I see them on screen in 87, which is really warping my perception because I was a little kid whenTNG aired and these charachters still seem like grown ups and I still feel like a kid watching them!

The Original Series is far better. TNG was inconsistent in its production and had a pretty bland cast. Only Q had any sense of go - the rest were like watching tree stumps.

[@marvinsilverman4394]

TNG was very rigid, the chararcters barely showed emotions and the cast it was no big deal the principal protagonistr of the serie was the story of the episode or script but even so TNG was still a great show

[@stevee.4869]

Funny how time flies. I still watch some of these episodes on television for years now and you don't realize that TNG was on 30 years ago. Thanks for the memories. And for the record, Gates McFadden has aged very well. As lovely as ever.

[@heinzkanein4955]

STAR TREK the next generation, was such an iconic TV series! I must have seen every episode at least several dozen times. To see of how the members of this crew have aged is absolutely fascinating. Some of them even though they were playing Romulans or Klingons, their facial features are so distinct that you could pick them out of a crowd after so many years. Others I could sit right next to them in a waiting room and I wouldn't recognize them if you would tell me who they are. I guess we all age so very differently.

[@chrismarks4277]

[@trevorlawrence310]

ST TNG was a huge influence on me as a 90s kid, not only for its entertainment but how it shaped my view on science and view of the world. TNG was certainly optimistic in presenting an ideal future for humankind, something that I hope will carry on for new viewers to come.

This was my show. It was so awesome! I watched with my whole family.

[@billsomrak]

I met most of the TNG cast at various Cons (late 80's - early 90's). Had lots of fun with them. This was nicely done, but WHY did you have a picture of Michael Dorn as Robert O'Reilly's Gowron ? That stood out as a huge error. O'Reilly showed up unexpectedly at a Con where Jonathan Frakes was headlining .. came out of the audience & up on the stage & the 2 of them were hilarious together. Of all the casts (TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT), TNG was the closest knit, playing off one another so well .. which transferred into their performances & made the show extremely popular. I remember after the cliff hanger of BoBW ... EVERYBODY was talking about what was going to happen .. people I never suspected were ST fans. Great memories. We're ALLolder now but the memories are still great.

I love hearing the stories like where they tried to make the rest of the staff crack up doing faces while they had there back to the camera...

[@billsomrak]

@@jonathanbair523 Yeah, the TNG cast cut up quite a bit ... which probably explains why it was a good day to get 7-8 minutes of usable film on any given day. There are lots of 'blooper' reels, but their escapes go way beyond that. John DeLancy (Q) told a story where he had to appear on the set NUDE (after the Continuum stripped him of his powers .. and clothes). Funny stuff. Spiner & Frakes were the usual leaders of pranks, which upset P. Stewart initially .. but after he was certain that this show was going to go on for many seasons, he joined in.

I was a little bit confused, cause Armin Shimerman, Marc Alaimo and James Cromwell had multiple roles in Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and First contact.

[@accountfor1reason]

I know I'm nitpicking but we're Trekkers here. 7:09 is Suzie Plakson as the vulcan doctor Selar, that's not K'ehleyr, though she was K'ehleyr. She went on to be the mother of Marshall Ericson in HIMYM.

[@accountfor1reason]

@@jplum7708 Oh hey, that's right, I was only thinking in terms of TNG. But I was focusing on that photo of Dr Selar. It irks me!

[@vulcan2882]

Suzie Plakson did infact play K'ehlar as well as Selar ( Vulcan ) and as female Q on Voyager

[@MiniLemmy]

Hard to believe how long ago the start of TNG was! I still remember a chat show in the U.K. that introduced the TNG characters just before the series debuted…

[@MikeDragon]

Sad to know that out of the actors shown, the Enterprise's computer voice actress has already passed. I love her voice.

[@cwolfxuk-other]

I read that she recorded a load of extra stuff before she died so that her voice could be used in the future in TV and Movies for Trek.

[@Eightbitswide]

Met her by chance once. Very sweet woman. Reminded me of my grandmother. I recognized her while people around me did not and she took the time to chat for twenty minutes.

[@MikeDragon]

@@Eightbitswide Wow, That's awesome!

[@genehunsinger3981]

like fingernails on chalkboard

[@nigelcrockett4032]

You know she was gene roddenberrys wife yeah..🙄

[@amandaphillips4344]

Thank you for this💫what a great throw back.i used to watch this w my dad n man this is jus bringing a different time back to me💖

[@tedium37]

Patric Stewart is remarkably unchanged. Looks maybe 10 or 15 years older max and it was 35 years ago. Great show with lessons relevant then and now without coming off preachy.

[@breadwater71]

he even looks the same as when he appeared in Dune

[@fuzztsimmers3415]

He changed in he took a good character and shat all over his past performances.

[@audreyquezada5152]

for me all that changed on him are the color of his eye brows, the dimple of his chin, and his skin has lost elasticity. But boy he is STILL in shape!

[@michaelhawthorne8696]

Great compilation....thank you for that..

[@Antaoleumas]

Uma das melhores series que eu já vi em toda minha vida. Star Trek The next Generation supera os limites do espetacular!!!

[@nunyabizness8426]

Uni is that

[@gemmalouiserowledge545]

Grew up loved watching all these thank you so much for putting these on ❤️😊👍 x

[@florianthesnow]

This is nice to see, but the ages are off for several actors (some aged 30 years, some 34 or something in between) and for some people you have the wrong photos (different role or different actor). But I still like the comparison!

[@josephmeeks5657]

the years introduced are different.

[@johnwater22]

Wow, watching this makes me feel old.

[@jimhamrick5207]

Did anyone else notice that in1989 Gowon was a 39-year-old Black man and in 2021 he was a 71-year-old White man? Sure would like to know how he managed to do that!

[@TexasDog3]

It was Q and one of his practical jokes.

[@Unuigbey1]

This was before it was not okay to do blackface, 😂

[@genehunsinger3981]

beacuse "THAT'S ACTing",,,,,,,LOL

[@geoffp1292]

Brilliant actors each,& everyone of them! TNG has been my favourite series of all the Star Trek franchises,& I was in my mid teens when it first aired. The thing that makes it work so well,is the way the characters are all so different,& yet harmonise together as if they were one. Warp 9...Engage! ~~~🛸
