Earl Grey 16: Forging the First Link

TNG Philosophy.


The Next Generation took a lot from The Original Series—including
the general outlook and philosophy of the show. As TNG grew from
its initial conception, it gradually evolved a unique identity
and started exploring issues all its own. In this episode of Earl
Grey, hosts Phillip Gilfus, Darren Moser, and Daniel Proulx talk
TNG philosophy. What has changed since TOS? How is “the
Roddenberry Vision” represented? We debate these questions and
more to decide whether or not TNG represents an accurate vision
of the future.
