I started watching Star Trek: The Next Generation because I feel I've had my fill of Red Dwarf for a while, but still want a sci-fi show about space exploration.
I actually never watched or got into Star Trek as a franchise. My mum use to watch Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine when I was a kid but I never liked them the same way I liked the other shows I watched with her (The X-Files, Red Dwarf, The Outer Limits, etc.) The shows were just a little too mature for most children to get behind, I mean there was some action, but it wasn't the same as Star Wars, and while I can admit to not "getting" the ideas behind the other shows we watched, they at least had some appeal to me.
Anyways TNG is on Netflix so I figured I'd try to get through the first season and see if it's a show that's worth investing more time into and honestly I think I can finish the series by the end of 2013.
