Summary[]

Background information[]

• Rick Berman commented: "First seasons of television shows tend to be potentially very chaotic. The first season ofNext Generation certainly was". (The Deep Space Log Book: A First Season Companion, p. 7)
• Noted for his loyalty to co-workers he implicitly trusted, a by then ailingGene Roddenberry was determined to bring back as many production staff members fromStar Trek: The Original Series as possible (actually, this he had already intended to do, and partially did, on the ten years earlier, but ultimately abandonedStar Trek: Phase II television series). The first season staff included the following TOS veterans: ProducersRobert H. Justman andEdward K. Milkis, writersD.C. Fontana andDavid Gerrold, who were brought in first in early October 1986 to form the core production team forThe Next Generation, later to be joined by Costume DesignerWilliam Ware Theiss, ComposerFred Steiner, Assistant DirectorCharles Washburn, and Set DecoratorJohn Dwyer. CinematographerJerry Finnerman was also invited back by Roddenberry, however he turned down the offer as he was working onMoonlighting at the time. Nevertheless, at the end of the first seasonall of them opted to leave the production. Justman has identified Roddenberry's uninitiated attorney and business partner,Leonard Maizlish as the main agent for them to do so, stating he "destructively" meddled with the creative decision making for the new series. Milkis, thoroughly "disgusted" by Maizlish, already left after a mere three months, before shooting of the pilot was even started, while Justman himself admitted that "For the first time in my life, I began to suffer from hypertension", because of Maizlish, even though he initially wanted to stay on. (Inside Star Trek: The Real Story, p. 433-434) David Gerrold strongly shared the sentiment, and accused Maislizh – who occupied his own office on the studio lot, and had from the start firmly ingratiated himself with the pre-production creative staff – of "real character assassination of the worst sort.".[1]
• The series was officially announced by President Paramount Television GroupMel Harris on 10 October 1986. (Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Continuing Mission, p. 11)
• While Maizlish was arguably too overzealous in looking after the interests of his client (who was desperately battling over the creative control of his new creation – and over his vision ofStar Trek in general – with studio and writing staff alike), the eventual outcome came as a shock to Roddenberry, as Gerrold later related at the 2010 Necronomiconconvention in St. Petersburg, Florida, "Gene was crying because all of his friends were gone. It was because Maizlish chased them away."[2]^(X)
• Roddenberry also brought back production people who worked on variousStar Trek feature films: makeup artistWerner Keppler, illustrators and artistsAndrew Probert (who also left at the end of the first season, but not on the account of Maizlish, but rather that of Rick Berman),Michael Okuda andRick Sternbach, property masterJoe Longo, and sound editorBill Wistrom.
• TheGalaxy-classEnterprise-D was designed to hold families. In subsequent seasons and otherTrek series, we learn that other Federation vessels have families on board as well. (DS9: "Emissary";TNG: "Hero Worship";VOY: "The Raven", "Dark Frontier")
• No definitechief engineer is introduced, as a total of three officers –Logan,Argyle, andMacDougal – hold the position.Leland T. Lynch is also a senior officer in the department.Geordi La Forge serves mainly as ahelmsman and does not become Chief Engineer until thesecond season.
• Lieutenant CommanderData's "brother",Lore, who shows up as a nemesis in subsequent seasons, is introduced. (TNG: "Datalore")
• Lwaxana Troi,Deanna Troi'smother, portrayed byMajel Barrett-Roddenberry, is introduced. (TNG: "Haven")
• Theholodeck, where Picard plays out aholonovel of the pulp detectiveDixon Hill, is introduced. Although it is portrayed as something new onFederation vessels, the last time something similar was seen was on aConstitution-class starship. (TAS: "The Practical Joker";TNG: "The Big Goodbye")
• We are introduced to the alien species called theFerengi, although it is hinted that the Federation was already aware of this race before the start ofStar Trek: The Next Generation. The Ferengi turn up in subsequent seasons of TNG, as well as in otherTrek series, but featured most prominently inStar Trek: Deep Space Nine.
• Also introduced in the first season is the omnipotent being called "Q" who turns up in subsequent seasons and otherTrek incarnations.
• The crew is affected by a very similar disease asJames T. Kirk's crew was afflicted with during the five-year mission of the originalEnterprise. (TOS: "The Naked Time";TNG: "The Naked Now")
• Susan Sackett,Gene Roddenberry's assistant at the time, portrays an extra dressed in a blueskant. (TNG: "The Neutral Zone")
• LieutenantWorf became the firstKlingon to join Starfleet, having grown up on theKhitomeroutpost, where the beginnings of an alliance between the Klingon Empire and the Federation began. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) However, a few Klingons are not at all happy with the alliance. (TNG: "Heart of Glory")
  • Worf's cranial features changed throughout the series, as did his demeanor. Moreover, Worf became a regular inDeep Space Nine'sfourth season.
• Lt.Natasha Yar had a short-lived stay on theEnterprise-D, as actressDenise Crosby became dissatisfied with the direction her character was going.
  • When Crosby opted to leave the show, Yar was killed, resulting in the first 'permanent' death of a major character onStar Trek. (TNG: "Skin Of Evil")
  • Denise Crosby returns in later seasons: first, as Natasha Yar in an alternate reality (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise"), then as the voice of Yar's daughterSela, a Romulan operative brainwashing Geordi La Forge, (TNG: "The Mind's Eye"). She appears as Sela again in four other episodes (TNG: "Redemption", "Redemption II", "Unification I", "Unification II") and in the final TNG episode as Yar in yet another alternate reality. (TNG: "All Good Things...")
• Optional duty skirts, or "skants", are introduced for both male and female officers.
  • Natasha Yar and Deanna Troi are the only main characters who are ever seen wearing the skant. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint") The optional variant is seen primarily on background characters, most prominentlyDiana Giddings, portrayed by background actressLorine Mendell. (In season two, Dr.Katherine Pulaski wears a long-sleeved variant of the skant with black slacks.)
  • The skants (as well as the jumpsuits) were created byTrek veteranWilliam Ware Theiss, who also designed the costumes forTOS.
  • Deanna Troi appears in the skant once again for the series finale. (TNG: "All Good Things...")
• Fred Steiner, who composed music on TOS, scores for TNG. (TNG: "Code of Honor")
• Lush music, reminiscent ofTOS, occurs over the course of season one, and is changed to more subtle atmospheric music in the later seasons.
• An alien takeover of Starfleet byparasitic beings occurs and is stopped, not to be followed up on in the series (or any other subsequentTrek series), even though it is hinted more aliens are on their way toEarth; however, someTrek novels make an attempt to clear up any questions. (TNG: "Conspiracy")
• TheRomulans make a return in the final episode of season one, after remaining quiet a number of years before the start of TNG. (TNG: "The Neutral Zone")
• Saucer separation ofprimary hull andsecondary hull occurs a number of times. In the 23rd century, this action was designated for one-time emergencies. (TOS: "The Apple")
• VeteranTrek actors,Judson Scott andMerritt Butrick, appear in season one. (TNG: "Symbiosis")
• TNG introduces the position ofcounselor on starships.
• Deanna Troi andFirst OfficerCommanderWilliam T. Riker are characters reminiscent of Lt.Ilia andWill Decker of the abortedStar Trek: Phase II series andStar Trek: The Motion Picture.
• Armin Shimerman, known as the Ferengi barkeepQuark fromStar Trek: Deep Space Nine, portrays the FerengiLetek as well as aBetazoid gift box. (TNG: "The Last Outpost", "Haven")
• When the series premiered in the UK on theBBC in1990, the channel's airing order differed significantly from the original transmission order.
• Near the end of the series, actorJonathan Frakes described the first season as a time when "we took greater chances than we do now. The shows may be better, the level of it, but "Skin Of Evil" was absurd." He added, "that was a time first season they took chances. Some of it misses, but some were great. Like "The Naked Now", the episode which we've never done anything quite like where everyone got drunk and horny. That was risky. All the early stuff withBrent asSherlock Holmes.Bowman's work, the firstKlingon show["Heart of Glory"] – those were all great." (Trek: The Next Generation Crew Book)
• Most episodes in the first season end with a bridge scene. The only episodes that do not are "Lonely Among Us", "The Battle", "Datalore", and "Skin Of Evil".
• Paramount Pictures' original idea for a newTrek series for syndication was a "group of space cadets". (TNG Season 1 DVD, special feature "The Beginning")
• The per-episode budget eventually rose to US$1.5 million by the end of this season. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, ? ed., p. ?)
• Τhe episode order does not follow theStardate order. This results in a few discrepancies such as Yar dying at 41601.3, while having already appeared in "The Arsenal of Freedom" set in a later stardate (41798.2), and "The Big Goodbye" set in (41997.7). This doesn't happen in the later seasons where episode order corresponds to stardate order.
• The cameo appearance ofDeForest Kelley asAdmiralLeonard McCoy in "Encounter at Farpoint" is the only "character crossover" from the original series in this season.
