Summary

Taking place 100 years after the era of James T. Kirk, Captain Jean-Luc Picard takes command of the Galaxy-class USS Enterprise-D with a hand-picked crew. They take on assignments from Starfleet as well as explore those strange new worlds, going where no one has gone before.

Background Information

• Rick Berman commented: "First seasons of television shows tend to be potentially very chaotic. The first season of Next Generation certainly was". (The Deep Space Log Book: A First Season Companion, p. 7)
• Gene Roddenberry was determined to bring back as many production staff members from The Original Series as possible. The first season staff included the following TOS veterans: Producers Robert Justman and Edward K. Milkis, Writers D.C. Fontana and David Gerrold, Costume Designer William Ware Theiss, Composer Fred Steiner, Assistant Director Charles Washburn, and Set Decorator John Dwyer. Cinematographer Jerry Finnerman was also invited back by Roddenberry, however he turned down the offer as he was working on Moonlighting at the time. Nevertheless, at the end of the first season all 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, whereas Justman himself admitted that he "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, accusing Maislizh of "real character assassination of the worst sort", strongly shared the sentiment. TNG Season 1 at StarTrek.com
• Roddenberry also brought back production people who worked on various Star Trek feature films: makeup artist Werner Keppler, illustrators and artists Andrew Probert, Michael Okuda and Rick Sternbach, property master Joe Longo, and sound editor Bill Wistrom.
• The Galaxy-class Enterprise-D was designed to hold families. In subsequent seasons and other Trek series, we learn that this does not pertain only for families who serve on Galaxy-class vessels, but other Federation vessels as well. (DS9: "Emissary"; TNG: "Hero Worship"; VOY: "The Raven", "Dark Frontier")
• No definite chief engineer is introduced, as a total of three officers – Logan, Argyle, and Sarah MacDougal – held the position. Leland T. Lynch is also a senior officer in the department. Geordi La Forge serves mainly as a helmsman and does not become Chief Engineer until the second season.
• Lieutenant Commander Data's "brother", Lore, who showed up as a nemesis in subsequent seasons, is introduced. (TNG: "Datalore")
• Lwaxana Troi, Deanna Troi's mother, portrayed by Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, is introduced. (TNG: "Haven")
• The holodeck, where Picard plays out a holonovel of the pulp detective, Dixon Hill is introduced. Although it is portrayed as something new on Federation vessels, the last time something similar was seen was on a Constitution-class starship. (TAS: "The Practical Joker"; TNG: "The Big Goodbye")
• We are introduced to the alien race called the Ferengi, although it is hinted that the Federation was already aware of this race before the start of Star Trek: The Next Generation. The Ferengi turn up in subsequent seasons of TNG, as well as in other Trek series, but featured prominently in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
• Also introduced in the first season is the omnipotent being called "Q" who turned up in subsequent seasons and other Trek incarnations.
• The crew is affected by a very similar disease James T. Kirk's crew was afflicted with during the five-year mission of the original Enterprise. (TOS: "The Naked Time"; TNG: "The Naked Now")
• Susan Sackett, Gene Roddenberry's assistant at the time, portrays an extra dressed in a blue skant. (TNG: "The Neutral Zone")
• Lieutenant Worf became the first Klingon to join Starfleet, having grown up on the Khitomer outpost, 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 in Deep Space Nine's fourth season.
• Lt. Natasha Yar had a short-lived stay on the Enterprise-D, as actress Denise 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 on Star 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 daughter Sela, 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 prominently Diana Giddings, portrayed by background actress Lorine Mendell. (In season 2, Dr. Pulaski wears a long-sleeved variant of the skant with black slacks.)
  • The skants (as well as the jumpsuits) were created by Trek veteran William Ware Theiss, who also designed the costumes for TOS.
  • 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 of TOS, occurs over the course of season one, and is changed to more subtle atmospheric music in the later seasons.
• An alien takeover of Starfleet by neural parasites occurs and is stopped, not to be followed up on in the series (or any other subsequent Trek series), even though it is hinted more aliens are on their way to Earth; however, some Trek novels make an attempt to clear up any questions. (TNG: "Conspiracy")
• The Romulans 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 of primary hull and secondary hull occurs a number of times. In the 23rd century, this action was designated for one-time emergencies. (TOS: "The Apple")
• Veteran Trek actors, Judson Scott and Merritt Butrick, appear in season one. (TNG: "Symbiosis")
• Judson Scott later appeared on Star Trek: Voyager. (VOY: "Message in a Bottle")
• TNG introduces the position of counselor on starships.
• Deanna Troi and First Officer Commander William T. Riker are characters reminiscent of Lt. Ilia and Will Decker of the aborted Star Trek: Phase II series and Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
• Armin Shimerman, known as the Ferengi barkeep Quark from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, portrays the Ferengi Letek as well as a Betazoid gift box. (TNG: "The Last Outpost", "Haven")
• When the series premiered in the UK on the BBC in 1990, the channel's airing order differed significantly from the original transmission order.
• Near the end of the series, actor Jonathan 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 with Brent as Sherlock Holmes. Bowman's work, the first Klingon 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 new Trek 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)
• Τhe episode order does not follow the Stardate 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). This doesn't happen in the later seasons where episode order corresponds to stardate order.
