Star Trek: TNG's Very First Scene Was A Huge Departure From The Original Series, But So Much Better

In its first few minutes, Star Trek: The Next Generation distinguished itself from Star Trek: The Original Series, with a very different and more effective opening scene. Picking up about a century after the adventures of Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and his crew, TNG followed an entirely new Enterprise crew, led by Patrick Stewart's Captain Jean-Luc Picard. The television landscape went through significant changes from the 1960s to the late 1980s when TNG premiered. Although television shows had not yet reached the level of serialization they would in the streaming era, they were moving toward a different way of storytelling.
