Summarize this article for a 10 year old

Star Trek: The Next Generation ( TNG ) is an American science fiction television series created by Gene Roddenberry . It originally aired from September 28, 1987, to May 23, 1994, in syndication, spanning 178 episodes over seven seasons. The third series in the Star Trek franchise, it was inspired by Star Trek: The Original Series . Set in the latter third of the 24th century, when Earth is part of the United Federation of Planets , it follows the adventures of a Starfleet starship , the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) , in its exploration of the Alpha quadrant and Beta quadrant in the Milky Way galaxy.

In the 1980s, Roddenberry—who was responsible for the original Star Trek , Star Trek: The Animated Series (1973–1974), and the first of a series of films—was tasked by Paramount Pictures with creating a new series in the franchise. He decided to set it a century after the events of his original series. The Next Generation featured a new crew: Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard , Jonathan Frakes as William Riker , Brent Spiner as Data , Michael Dorn as Worf , LeVar Burton as Geordi La Forge , Marina Sirtis as Deanna Troi , Gates McFadden as Dr. Beverly Crusher , Denise Crosby as Tasha Yar , Wil Wheaton as Wesley Crusher , and a new Enterprise .

Roddenberry, Maurice Hurley , Rick Berman , Michael Piller , and Jeri Taylor served as executive producers at various times throughout its production. The series was broadcast in first-run syndication with dates and times varying among individual television stations. Stewart's voice-over introduction during each episode's opening credits stated the starship's purpose:

Space: The final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise . Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before.

The show reached almost 12   million viewers in its 5th season, with the series finale in 1994 watched by over 30   million viewers. [3] [4] Due to its success, Paramount commissioned Rick Berman and Michael Piller to create a fourth series in the franchise, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , which launched in 1993. The characters from The Next Generation returned in four films : Star Trek Generations (1994), Star Trek: First Contact (1996), Star Trek: Insurrection (1998), and Star Trek: Nemesis (2002), and in the television series Star Trek: Picard (2020–2023). The series is also the setting of numerous novels, comic books, and video games. It received many accolades , including 19 Emmy Awards , two Hugo Awards , one Peabody Award , and six Saturn Awards , including a Lifetime Achievement Award for the entire cast in 2024. [5] [lower-alpha 1]

In 2013, the Writers Guild of America ranked Star Trek: The Next Generation #79 on their list of the 101 Best Written TV Series, tying it with Upstairs, Downstairs , Monty Python's Flying Circus and Alfred Hitchcock Presents . [6]

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Episode Guide - Season 1

In September 1987, the most eagerly anticipated TV series of all-time was finally broadcast. With a cast filled out by a group whose only kinda sorta recognizable actor was Levar Burton, known for his role in the massive mini-series Roots of 10 years previous. This was, of course, Star Trek: The Next Generation and anyone would tole you back then that he/she believed this experiment would last seven years and four feature films -was lying!

Little evidence of The Next Generation’s future success could be seen in that first season of 1987-88; on the whole, the 26 episodes were, let’s say, a mixed bag. The two-hour debut was strong enough, ticking off the boxes in introducing characters and smoothly explaining the “generational” differences which had occurred between the original series and the new. Toward the end of the season, TNG actually had a member of the bridge crew die in action, as though to emphasize that TNG was a new kind of Star Trek.

When the final episode of ST:TNG season 1 finished, however, there was no doubt about one thing: This was definitely a worthy successor to the Star Trek universe. The episodes are as followed:

1-2. Encounter at Farpoint – Essentially everything and everyone in the new ST universe is introduced in this premiere episode, which also includes the first appearance of pan-dimensional trickster Q and the only instance of Captain Jean-Luc Picard muttering “merde.” ***

3. The Naked Now – In what today might be called a reboot of the original series episode “The Naked Time,” an Enterprise away team boards a ship, contracts a disease whose symptoms resemble drunkenness and infects the crew. Said crew goes on to act very silly indeed, and not very much like drunk people at all, really. *

4. Code of Honor – The “fight to the death” tope and Lt. Yar’s badassery both get a workout in this one, wherein Yar is abducted by some insignificant planet’s warlord. **

5. The Last Outpost – This introduction to the hypercapitalist Ferengi shows us a completely different (and way lamer) bunch of aliens than we’d eventually expect. Oddly cool whip laser guns, though… *

6. Where No One Has Gone Before – Recalling the original series pilot “Where No Man Has Gone Before,” the Enterprise somehow warps out and ends up in a bizarre bit of universe in which inane thoughts take on physical form. Luckily, the mysterious Traveler shows up to get them back (gee, the Voyager folks sure would’ve appreciated his help, eh?) *

7. Lonely Among Us – As the Enterprise passes through a nebula, a disembodied alien enters the ship, takes corporeal possession of a few crew members in turn and induces a murder. This latter bit elicits Lt. Commander Data’s first emulation of his fictional hero, Sherlock Holmes. ***

8. Justice – On a neo-hippie utopia planet, Wesley is given the death sentence for a very minor crime. The focus on Wesley is a minus for the episode, but Patrick Stewart does nice work with his lectures on notions of crime and justice. ***

9. The Battle – A Ferengi captain seeks vengeance against Picard for a battle in which Picard’s previous ship Stargazer destroyed a Ferengi ship in battle. In the second appearance by the Ferengi, they’re still shadows of what they’ll become, but the Picard backstory is good stuff. ***

10. Hide and Q – The intergalactic Loki is back in a rather simplistic tale: Commander Riker is offered the powers of the Q, which works out well for a while but nearly turns the earnest first officer into an Insane God! of the original series. **

11. Haven – Majel Barrett plays her fifth different character in the Star Trek mythos, Counselor Troi’s flamboyant Betazoid mother Lwaxana Troi. In this episode, Lwaxana arrives with her peers, the Millers, whose son Wyatt will be wed to Troi in an arranged marriage. And there’s something here about a virus as well. **

12. The Big Goodbye – Setting a trend that would be stupidly continued throughout this series and way too much of Star Trek: Voyager, this episode introduces the malfunctioning holodeck trope Some nice bits about the nature of existence, but not much else. **

13. Datalore – Brent Spiner in a double role? Now we’re talking! An Enterprise away team discovers a disassembled android on Data’s former homeworld. Once rebuilt, the android identifies itself as Lore, basically the 1.0 to Data’s 1.1 (this was years before the B4-related nonsense in Star Trek: Nemesis and Star Trek Guide is ignoring that BS, anyway). ****

14. Angel One – It’s the Enterprise crew versus the Lady Land trope ! Or, alternatively, it’s Commander Riker versus the Amazons! Something like that. And oh yea- there’s a bit in here about a virus as well…**

15. 11001001 – Weird little computer-specialist alien dudes the Bynars seemingly sabotage the ship while Picard and Riker are, in most unlikely fashion, distracted for several hours by a holodeck character which has – get this – somehow exceeded her programmed parameters. A half-clever script that would set the tone for later twisty-turny single-episode TNG plots. ***

16. Too Short a Season – And here’s a crack at the reverse-aging trope: A legendary admiral ages himself young due to some pharmaceutical/chemical/genetic tomfoolery. And, yeah, really not very much to this one. *

17. When the Bough Breaks – Years before Children of Men, there was this episode. The planet of Aldea is a world long thought lost but in actuality was merely kept from detection via massive cloaking device. It is revealed to the Enterprise, whose denizens soon find out that the Aldeans are sterile and interested in stealing all children aboard the Enterprise to keep their culture alike. (How about just Wesley Crusher, guys? Will you settle for that…?) *

18. Home Soil – A silicon-based lifeform appears to be offing Federation scientists looking to ready a planet for settlement. And you can pretty much guess how things unravel from there … **

19. Coming of Age – A character-driven episode: Each of the Enterprise bridge officers is investigated by Federation officials while Wesley takes the Starfleet Academy entrance exam (he fails, dammit). A conspiracy within the Federation is presented, a tantalizing hint which would pay dividends in future episodes. ***

20. Heart of Glory – Klingon fans get what they want in this episode, as a ship of the galactic bad boys seek to relive the glory days of the Empire – like when they were at war with the Federation – by taking the Enterprise. ***

21. The Arsenal of Freedom – A bit of a one-note story about most of the bridge crew trapped into use as pawns for weapons-testing systems. **

22. Symbiosis – One of the first of the post-TOS stories to annoy viewers with intricacies of the Prime Directive, which was really given way too much respect by the likes of Picard and Janeway in particular. As for Lt. Yar’s “Just Say No” speech, well, she gets her karmic payback for that silliness in the next episode, doesn’t she? **

23. Skin of Evil – Most of the senior officers beam down to a TOS-looking planet, where Lt. Yar is iced by a living embodiment of evil impulses (or “a pool of Metamucil,” as Brent Spiner once referred to it). **

24. We’ll Always Have Paris – “Forget Paris” might have been a better title for this rather empty story of Picard, a former love and her husband’s dangerous scientific experimentation. About the best that can be said for this episode it that at least there’s no holodeck. *

25. Conspiracy – The unfortunately incredibly generic title hides an interesting story that would pave the way for many a Federation-based conspiracy storyline in TNG. “Conspiracy” also feels a bit rushed; had this run in a later season, much more screen time would certainly have been devoted to this subplot. Bonus points for the best line of dialogue in season 1: “We seek … peaceful co-existence.” ***

26. The Neutral Zone – Enter the Romulans, who come off more badass in TNG than any other Star Trek series. The Enterprise is sent to the titular galactic area to deduce why Romulan ship or ships are destroying Federation outposts. ***

Overview [ ]

TNG chronicled the voyages of the starship Enterprise -D , under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard on its continuing mission of exploration through the Alpha and Beta Quadrants in the 2360s decade . In that period the Enterprise often found herself in the middle of situations with old enemies (some now friends) such as the Klingons and the Romulans and with new threats including the omnipotent Q , the Ferengi , and a threat that would change Star Trek forever, the Borg .

In 2007 , The Next Generation celebrated its 20th Anniversary .

Episodes and movies [ ]

During its seven-year run, 178 episodes were produced, usually 26 per season (the second season had 22 episodes). After the series ended, four films were created between 1994 and 2002 .

The first film, Star Trek Generations was a bridge between The Original Series and The Next Generation . An animated series crossover series was planned in the early 1990s, but canceled in pre-production.

The television series Deep Space Nine and Voyager were spin-offs of the TNG era, and many concepts were carried over into the prequel series Enterprise .

From the very beginning, TNG has had a series of novels within its setting. Pocket Books produced sixty-three number paperbacks, fourteen young adult novels , several hardbacks, unnumbered paperbacks, novelizations, eBooks, as well as a popular so-called " relaunch series " set after Star Trek Nemesis .

Every multi-series anthology has featured at least one short story with a Next Generation setting. The novel series Titan , Stargazer , and to a lesser extent Klingon Empire and New Frontier were direct spin-offs of TNG , with many characters crossing over.

The establishment of TNG elements was the central element of the Star Trek: The Lost Era mini-series.

TNG comics have been published since 1988 by a variety of companies. Between 1988 and 1996 , DC Comics held the license, where they produced an eighty-issue monthly series, six annuals, eight special issues, and five miniseries.

Marvel Comics was awarded the license in 1996, around the release of Star Trek: First Contact . They produced five special one-shot comics, as well as numerous stories within their Star Trek Unlimited series.

WildStorm Comics produced two graphic novels, four four-part miniseries, and two Star Trek: Special issues.

IDW currently owns the license, and produced The Space Between , a six-part miniseries in 2007 . Numerous issues, such as Star Trek: Countdown are set in the post-TNG era and arguably are TNG stories as well.

Audio books [ ]

Twenty-five abridged audiobooks , and one unabridged audiobook have been adapted from TNG novels. One audiobook was adapted from a TNG video game ( Star Trek: Borg ).

Video games [ ]

Thirteen video games have been produced for The Next Generation .

The Next Generation has had a strong presence in Star Trek RPGs. FASA , the first company to produce Star Trek RPG books, produced two manuals set within the TNG era before losing its license ( FASA RPG modules : First Year Sourcebook , Star Trek: The Next Generation Officer's Manual ). When Last Unicorn Games took on the RPG license, they released fifteen manuals within their Next Generation roleplaying game.

The most recent company to publish Star Trek RPGs, Decipher released no exclusively TNG books, instead publishing a series of supplements incorporating elements from the entire Star Trek franchise.

Template:TNG RPGs

Reference works [ ]

TNG material was first used in the 1989 reference work The Worlds of the Federation . The first solely TNG reference work was the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual released in 1991 . No new TNG reference work has been published since 1998 , although a number of franchise-spanning works have been released.

Pan-franchise works include the Star Trek Chronology , The Star Trek Encyclopedia , Federation Passport , Celebrations , Starship Spotter , The Starfleet Survival Guide , Star Charts and Ships of the Line . TNG content can also be found in Star Trek reference magazines such as the Star Trek Fact Files and Star Trek: The Collector's Edition .

As well as in-universe reference works there have also been a number of behind-the-scenes books detailing the production of the series, starting with Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion , published by Pocket Books in 1992 . They followed this with Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Continuing Mission and Star Trek: The Next Generation Sketchbook: The Movies . Books on the whole Star Trek franchise include The Art of Star Trek , Aliens & Artifacts , Star Trek 101 and the guide to Star Trek prose works Voyages of Imagination .

Other media [ ]

In addition to its RPG, Decipher have also produced the Star Trek Customizable Card Game since 1994 , which encompasses the entire Star Trek franchise, including numerous TNG based cards. TNG imagery can also be found in the Ships of the Line calendars .

The Star Trek: TOS and Star Trek: TNG movies will return to Paramount+ in July

P aramount is once again juggling its Star Trek projects. At the start of 2024, all ten of the Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation movies vacated the streamer because of a licensing deal with Max. With that deal ending, the movies will be returning to Paramount+ beginning July 1st, according to Trekmovie .

It's a rather convenient time for the movies to return on the exact same date as Star Trek: Prodigy launches its second season on Netflix. The animated series was unceremoniously cancelled by Paramount+ in April of last year after the streaming channel called itself "the home of Star Trek." That home is still missing a room without Prodigy.

With all ten of the classic movies back on Paramount+ and the three Kelvin Timelines movies available as well, Paramount+ will be the sole host of the films...at least for now. There's no way the streamer won't be looking to build on its revenue by seeking licensing deals with other streamers, especially considering Paramount+ hasn't made a profit since its inception.

Another movie, Section 31 , will be exclusive to Paramount+ is complete, but a release date has not been scheduled yet. And a Star Trek: Origins movie is reportedly in production while Star Trek 4 continues to struggle to find its footing. The three could potentially bring in substantial income to the streamer, which it desperately needs. Recently, Paramount+ CEO George Cheeks announced at an employee town hall, via MSN Money , that the streamer had hired investment bankers to sell off some assets in an attempt to reduce debt.

In addition, the streaming channel is increasing its prices for new subscribers both ad-free and ad-supported content beginning in August. Paramount+ with Showtime will cost an additional $1.00 ($12.99) while Paramount Essentials (ad-supported) will increase by two dollars ($7.99). The price increases will go into effect for current subscribers beginning September 20th, according to a report by Variety .

Star Trek: Prodigy Season 3 - Everything We Know

Should star trek’s new starfleet academy show have a nova squadron, this game of thrones theory changes 300 years of the starks' history & i've got to say i'm convinced.

WARNING: SPOILERS for Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2

• Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 reintroduces the contentious Nova Squadron from Star Trek: The Next Generation, raising questions about the necessity of elite cadet groups in Starfleet Academy.
• The inclusion of Nova Squadron suggests that Starfleet Academy has not learned from its mistakes, as seen in previous series.
• Despite the potential flaws in the concept of elite squadrons, the teamwork between Maj'el and the main group of misfits in Prodigy's second season offers hope for redemption and a more cohesive Federation.

Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 revisits a controversial aspect of Starfleet Academy featured in Star Trek: The Next Generation , continuing what many believe was a mistake found in both TNG and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine . In Star Trek: Prodigy season 2's opener, "Into The Breach, Part I," written by Kevin & Dan Hageman and directed by Ben Hibon, the lovably troublesome young characters of Star Trek: Prodigy find themselves face-to-face with one of Star Trek 's most famous—or perhaps infamous—group of Starfleet cadets.

Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 raises the show's stakes to epic new levels, and a big reason for that is that new characters carry the weight of old Star Trek stories. The second season of Star Trek: Prodigy introduces a new Vulcan hero , Maj'el (Michaela Dietz), who turns out to be more than just a new face and a cool rendition of the classic Vulcan haircut. Maj'el is part of Nova Squadron, meaning Starfleet Academy hasn't learned from its mistake 16 years after Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine introduced Red Squad, a different crop of elite Starfleet Academy cadets who were given their own starship, with tragic results.

Netflix has the option to order Star Trek: Prodigy season 3. Here's what we know about the young Starfleet crew of the USS Protostar's return.

Star Trek: Prodigy Reveals Starfleet Academy Still Has TNG’s Nova Squadron

The elite group of cadets wasn't disbanded after the events of tng: "the first duty".

Star Trek: The Next Generation 's season 5 episode "The First Duty" depicted Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton) as a cadet at Starfleet Academy. Wes is shown to be a member of an elite squadron of cadets called the Nova Squadron. This team is responsible for the recent death of one of their own after Nova Squadron's forbidden maneuver backfires. Still, their status above other cadets gives them special privileges and allowances . The squadron's leader, Nick Locarno (Robert Duncan McNeill), tries to convince Wesley to lie but eventually takes the fall for their teammate's death.

Robert Duncan McNeill would later play Lieutenant Tom Paris in Star Trek: Voyager.

At the beginning of the 20-episode run of Star Trek: Prodigy season 2, Dal R'El (Brett Gray) and the young crew of the USS Protostar follow the orders of Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) to join the crew of the newly-built Lamarr Class USS Voyager-A. Dal, Zero (Angus Imrie), Rok-Tahk (Rylee Alazraqui), Murf (Dee Bradley Baker), and Jankom Pog (Jason Mantzoukas) immediately encounter Maj'el and Nova Squadron, who are cold and dismissive to Admiral Janeway's warrant officers. So, Starfleet Academy still sets some cadets above the others as 'elite' despite the proven mistakes that can come of that, as seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Will Star Trek's new show have its own 32nd century answer to TNG's Nova Squadron, or does such elitism go against Starfleet Academy's core values?

Why Starfleet Academy Elite Squadrons Are A Mistake

Why does starfleet even have elite groups of cadets in the first place.

Starfleet is an exploratory organization meant to advance the United Federation of Planets' knowledge about the galaxy and harbor peace, so why does its school actively pit students against each other ? Nova Squadron from Star Trek: The Next Generation and Prodigy and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 's Red Squad both seem to clash with the principles of Starfleet by placing "elite" cadets above other students. With Star Trek: Prodigy focusing so heavily on the cohesiveness of the Federation and the need for more teamwork, the inclusion of such a divisive group of cadets might be a big mistake .

There might be hope for Starfleet's elite squadrons to prove themselves as nobler than their predecessors.

However, just like Wesley Crusher and the original Nova Squadron came to terms with their own mistakes, Maj'el and her squad work closely with Dal and the rest of Star Trek: Prodigy 's main group of misfits-turned-heroes in season 2. This teamwork means there might be hope for Starfleet's elite squadrons to prove themselves as nobler than their predecessors . Because it's known to excel at finding positive outlooks regarding dire situations and exploring the good in even the worst of characters, if anyone can redeem Star Trek: The Next Generation' s mistake, it's Star Trek: Prodigy .

Star Trek: The Next Generation

*Availability in US

Not available

Star Trek: The Next Generation is the third installment in the sci-fi franchise and follows the adventures of Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew members of the USS Enterprise. Set around one hundred years after the original series, Picard and his crew travel through the galaxy in largely self-contained episodes exploring the crew dynamics and their own political discourse. The series also had several overarching plots that would develop over the course of the isolated episodes, with four films released in tandem with the series to further some of these story elements.

Background information [ ]

Production [ ].

Michael Dorn with Emmanuel Lewis in Webster

• Due to the Writers Guild of America Strike in 1988, Season 2 only contained 22 episodes, rather than the usual 26 episodes. The season premiere, " The Child ", aired initially in late November 1988 , and the script was adapted from one of the scripts for the aborted Star Trek: Phase II due to the strike. The season began with Patrick Stewart hosting The Star Trek Saga: From One Generation To The Next which filled two hours left absent by the abridged season. The special was the first time that " The Cage " was aired on television.
• Showrunner Maurice Hurley planned to introduce the new villains, the Borg , in a cliffhanger which began in the first season finale, " The Neutral Zone ", with the Romulans having their bases destroyed by an unknown force, and concluding in the second season premiere. However, the strike prevented this from happening, and introduction of the Borg was postponed until much later in the season, in " Q Who ".
• Additionally, as a result of budget overruns in earlier episodes, the finale episode " Shades of Gray " was required by Paramount to have a three-day shoot to recover costs. As a result, the episode was written as a " clip show ", and was composed chiefly of clips from the previous 47 episodes. ( Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages )
• Star Trek V: The Final Frontier was filmed and released during the run of this season. It was the first time a Star Trek feature film was shot simultaneously with a television series on adjoining sound stages. The same was true of every subsequent Star Trek film up to and including Star Trek Nemesis .
• During the second season, Michael Dorn , Lorine Mendell , James G. Becker , and Dexter Clay reprised their Trek roles for the series finale of the Paramount Pictures television series Webster , titled " Webtrek ". In the episode, Webster, played by Emmanuel Lewis , was transported aboard the Enterprise -D through his video game joystick, which was fixed by the Enterprise -D crew at the end of the episode.

Cast and characters [ ]

• In the second season, Lieutenant, J.G. Worf serves as permanent chief security officer, begins wearing a gold uniform, and transfers from Emergency Manual Override aft bridge station to the tactical station. His rank is still Lieutenant Junior Grade and he will not be promoted to full Lieutenant until the beginning of Season 3. Actor Michael Dorn now has a different prosthetic forehead and different sash as part of his costume for Worf. Also, La Forge is promoted to full Lieutenant and chief engineer during the break between Seasons 1 and 2 and begins wearing a gold uniform in "The Child". The Ten Forward set appears with Whoopi Goldberg in the recurring role of Guinan ; Riker starts wearing a beard; also, during this season, Diana Muldaur as Dr. Katherine Pulaski replaces Gates McFadden as Dr. Beverly Crusher . Out of all seven seasons of The Next Generation , this is the only one in which Gates McFadden does not appear, other than through "flashback" footage from Season 1 in " Shades of Gray ".
• Guest star Diana Muldaur is generally considered a regular cast member, as her character appears in all but two episodes and otherwise fulfills the role of a main character. The actress was offered a place in the opening credit sequence, but declined and was listed instead as a Special Guest star. ( Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion , 2nd ed., p. 64)
• During the hiatus between the first two seasons, which was longer than a usual hiatus due to the writer's strike, Jonathan Frakes grew a beard, mainly because he dislikes shaving. According to the Trek: The Next Generation Crew Book , Gene Roddenberry liked it – Frakes recalled at a convention that Roddenberry said it had an appropriately "nautical" look – and the beard became a permanent part of Riker's character. The executives had some reservations, however. According to Frakes, they told him to shave off "eighteen percent" of the beard." The only explanation behind a number of such bizarre precision is that each executive chose a percentage (ten, twenty, twenty-five, etc.) and the average number was chosen. Frakes would not be seen beardless again until Star Trek: Insurrection , though he was seen wearing only a circle beard or moutee, a type of goatee , in " Defiant " while playing Thomas Riker and would have has beard regrown for Star Trek Nemesis . "Growing the Beard" has since become a term for when a show turns "good," a reverse of "Jumping the Shark," in reference to this. [1]
• No characters from the original Star Trek " crossover " to The Next Generation in this season.

Settings [ ]

• The Enterprise bridge set was modified for the second season. The access panels in the port and starboard sections were changed from wood to beige fabric. These panels would then be changed to grey fabric on Season 3. In addition, all three of the command chairs were replaced with new versions. Picard's new chair had the panels on the armrests permanently opened, and the two additional small seats added on the sides of Riker's and Troi's chairs were removed, in favor of a transparent bench. The conn and ops station chairs are replaced with new swiveling chairs. Some of the aft computer terminals were reassigned. Worf's previous station "Emergency Manual Override" and "Environment" are now maintained under the names "Mission Operations" and "Engineering." [2]
• A new sickbay set was constructed featuring portions of the set from the first season combined with a new intensive care ward, freeing up the portion of the set that also doubled as the observation lounge.
• The Ten Forward lounge makes its debut this season, being the last TNG set designed by Herman Zimmerman before he left for Star Trek V . He was replaced by Richard James .
• The observation lounge got two big viewscreens installed on the walls.
