For me, each version of Star Trek had it's own appeal.  At first, I didn't like Star Trek: Next Generation.  But, about half way through the first episode, I was hooked.  Though looking back on those early episodes, I can see how bad the writing was, especially for the first three or four years.   My favorite Next Generation episodes happened during the seventh and eighth (and beyond) seasons.  It felt like the cast was finally seasoned enough to know their characters and didn't have to just 'pretend', cause they were the characters.  The story lines were better later on, too.  As for the final Star Trek: Next Generation movie, maybe that situation can be undone with a shift in time for the next big blockbuster movie.  They've done that before in TNG books, so why not apply it to the movies.
