I want to bitch about how TNG fucked up the ST Universe, but I don't know if that should go here or in the Star Trek thread.

in what way did TNG f*** up the ST Universe. I do think you can argue that DS9 and Voyager and Enterprise did that, but TNG?

Yes TNG was mostly awesome but it layed the seeds for Star Trek's downfall. Too much of the "We can't do that" and "not that fast, you might break something" attitudes and plotlines crept in. Voyager ---> Enterprise just continued the slow downward spiral into boredom started in TNG (Although I'd say that TNG was never swallowed by it, the characters were too good). Those shows after TNG were built on a shaky foundation that was already crumbling and the fans were getting tired of.
