I`ve seen almost every episode, and have most of them on tape. I`ve also memorized many of the episodes. I have tons of books and other resources to look up the things I don`t know off the top of my head. I love Star Trek: TNG, and love talking about it. Although I have read some of the books, I'm probably not the best person to ask about those, however. Please restrict questions to the shows and movies with the NG crew. Thanks.
