Picard and Riker fought all the timeand those briefing room scenes in every episode would show the crew arguing over what the right thing to do was before Picard put his foot down and made his choice,you know just like Kirk use to do with Spock and McCoy. How many knock down drag out fights and personal problems were there between the crew members on TOS again? Because I don't remember any unless you count Spock getting infected with the spores or Pon Far and that is an outside influence and not an internal conflict. You are cheery picking your examples to make TNG look bad and TOS look good.

For example you are acting like TOS always used aliens that looked like the rock creature for Devil in the Dark when a more typical example of what aliens looked like on the show would be The Apple. While you don't give TNG credit for aliens like the Crystalline Entity or the Sheliak.

This seems very personal for you and you seem to be going out of your way to make unfair personal attacks against the show and the people who worked on it. My guess is that you are one of those stuck in the mud old school TOS fans who sent Patrick Steward death threats for his crime of daring to try and replace Shatner. You need to take a step back and take off the rose tinted glasses and see that TOS was not perfect and TNG did not have an unlimited budget. I don't believe anyone working on TNg was lazy,lazy people don't work 18 hour days and don't completely rewrite scripts that have been sent to them at the last minute because the story isn't working.

I will admit in the third season when Roddenberry stopped controlling the day to day TNG showed a massive improvement in the story and character department,but you seem to be grasping at any reason to hate this show as if it hurt somehow or you think the people behind it are guilty of some kind of crime and should be in jail or death row.
