TNG could have really used more time travel episodes.         


Date: Feb 25, 2008 19:15

The tiny ratio of 50%% time travel episodes simply wasn't enough to fully
mine the rich lode of absurdity and unbelievability offered by the time
travel genre. My suspension of disbelief simply wasn't blasted out of the
atmosphere nearly often enough.

(Pardon the sarcasm, I just got done watching "Bloodlines" where Worf meets
his Son from the Future.)

ROFL. Isn't that the truth ;-)

If B&B's reign ever goes down in history books in some fashion, this pattern
of storytelling would certainly be marked as [the cause of] the downturn of
the franchise.

Don't worry Voyager more than made up for that.

I agree - DS9 and Voyager were pretty "wrapped up" at the end of their
series runs. Not many places left to go, IMHO. A movie based on either
would have been "dead in the water", as Scotty once said.
