I've been watching a bunch of TNG and it's so damn good. Some of the secondary characters are notably weak and the dialogue can be tough in places. But it is high quality storytelling. And it has something to say. It has a worldview.

"There are times, sir, when men of good conscience cannot blindly follow orders. You acknowledge their sentience, but you ignore their personal liberties, and freedom. Order a man to hand his child over to the State? Not while I'm his captain."

I swear to God that made me cry when I watched it last week. It would be really nice if the man who said that was the most popular man on television again. I think in 2019, the world could do with a cup of Earl Grey tea and Captain Picard.

But we're not going to get that, are we. We're going to get action schlock starring an 87 year old man when we could have Shakespeare on the Moon.
