This is the greatest crew of I have ever met. @@ -36,21 +36,111 @@ This made him a bit of loner, always skipping late night poker games. The deck was his entire world. Picard is a born diplomat, always ready to create peace instead of conflict - be it when dealing with the crew or with treats. +We've all heard about Picard Maneuver before he joined, but after serving under him the name became synonymous with tucking in shirt. +Jean-Luc did it all the time. + ### Commander William T. Riker +{{<img-pull-right "st-tng-riker.jpg">}} +Will Riker was the first officer at USS Enterpise and an amazing right hand of Jean-Luc. +Much less strict and more risk taking than his superior officer. +Always ready to banter and play games with the crew. +An amazing trumpet player (a Jazz fan! I always love meeting fellow jazz fans) and a well known womanizer. +And, initially, an owner of a magnificent beard. + +We still laugh remembering when he proposed Picard to take a day off at Risa. +Our captain was never fond of lower forms of entertainment, so he was not aware that he went to a burdello-planet equipped with jamaharon, a symbol of sexual interest. +I'm sure he was at least a bit amused, but he never showed it. + +Will, however, was a great tactician known for several invented strategies. +What made him great was not following the protocol, but the contrary - at one point Data calculated that Riker followed standard practices only 21 percent of the time. + +I also fondly remember talking about his undercover missions. +A real life human chameleon! + ### Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge +{{<img-pull-right "st-tng-geordi.jpeg">}} +Geordi moved ranks - starting with lieutenant junior grade aboard the USS Enterprise, but always being the person best understanding the ship. +Whenever we needed to make it go faster than it should - he was there. + +He was blind and his visors were the only way he was able to see the world. +On a few occasions he was able to cure his eyesight, but always rejected the possibility. + +La Forge was the best friend of Data. + ### Lieutenant Tasha Yar +{{<img-pull-right "st-tng-tasha.webp">}} +Tasha was a security officer when we first joined Enterprise. +We had not many chances to learn about her, due to hear death by end of first year. +All I can say is that she was a strong woman, fitting for a security officer in the Starfleet. + +Luckily we were able to meet her again, a few years later. +She was alive in another dimension. + ### Lieutenant Worf +{{<img-pull-right "st-tng-worf.jpg">}} +Worf son of Mogh, was the Klingon from House of Martok who was raised by human family of Rozhenko. +Proud warrior torn between two races who sworn his allegiance to the federation - in fact he was the first Klingon to serve in the federation. +At Enterprise, he served as command division bridge officer up till Tasha's death, after which was appointed to be security chief. + +Worf is a mixed bag, we were rarely able to predict him. +As a Klingon, his honor was the most important. +He was always ready to fight, never thinking about own survival. +Often we saw him saving a crewmate even before we knew what was going on. + +But he was also raised as a human. +He was living according to Klingon's customs, but the environment he was raised in added a huge doubt in them. +He was unlike any Klingon I've ever met. + +Later on he had a son - a Klingon named Alexander Rozhenko. +I felt that he was unable to find himself in fatherhood and his father stories were the ones I felt least interesed in. +The son left Enterprise, and we've never heard of him again. + ### Doctor Beverly Crusher +{{<img-pull-right "st-tng-bcrusher.jpeg">}} +Beverly was the chief medical officer aboard the Enterprise and the mother of Wesley. +She was, as it seems, the closest friend to Jean-Luc (sans Riker), and maybe even more? +Picard was a friend of her late husband and their friendship goes far back. + +One time a ghost of her dead grandma possessed her, and it was the most off the wall adventure we had. +Glad it's over, and I never want to talk about this one ever again. + ### Commander Deanna Troi +{{<img-pull-right "st-tng-troi.png">}} +Deanna was a Betazoid–Human who served as counselor aboard the Enterprise. +As a half-betazoid she was capable of extra-sensory empathy, what allowed her to help the crew with loads of emotional problems. +Another trick up her sleeve was limited power of telepathy, which proved very useful during Picard's negotiations on the bridge. + +Whenever her mother visited the ship, Jean-Luc had to hide as he never hid having the hots for him. + +She was also very, as you may put it, close with William, often refering to him as *imzadi* ("Beloved" in Betazoidian). +They also knew themselves from before the journey, so who knows what happened? + ### Commander Data {{<img-pull-right "st-tng-data.png">}} +Commander Data, an android, was our operations officer. +He was the first android to serve in the Federation. + +His primary goal in life was to experience it as a human. +This pushed him towards music and owning a cat, Spot. +He was also known for writing poetry, some of which you can find [on my website](/star-trek/tng/data-poetry/) + +His brother, Lore, was unlike Data, +Envious and happy to deceive - always a problem. ### Starfleet Cadet Wesley Crusher +{{<img-pull-right "st-tng-wesley.jpg">}} +Wesley, was placed aboard the Enterprise as son of Beverly Crusher. +Soon after he joined the Starfleed Academy where he was allowed to learn while serving on the Enterprise. + +Some other Starfleet Cadets may have hated his guts, saying that he was unfit for service. +I hover was very fond of him as his adventures - even if a lot of problems aboard the ship were a direct result of his failed experiments. + + diff --git a/content/star-trek/tng/episodes.md b/content/star-trek/tng/episodes.md index af832b8..b63f4f1 100644 --- a/content/star-trek/tng/episodes.md +++ b/content/star-trek/tng/episodes.md @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ --- -title: "Episodes" +title: "Adventures (Episodes of The Next Generation)" category: - st-tng - star-trek |
