Star Trek: The Next Generation: To Boldly Stay
In her series of essays looking over the entire run of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Abigail Nussbaum gets to a more pround change from the original Star Trek than tunic colors. By the second season, the Starfleet has decided to boldly stay within Federation borders. “[I]t’s clear that The Next Generation became a better show once it stepped back the emphasis on boldly going where no one has gone before. There’s a part of me, however, that like Picard in Insurrection feels rueful for those days.”
