I know it’s not national news, but in the pre-internet years TNG was huge in Ireland. It was shown by both of our national broadcasters.

I’m discovering so many people I never realised were fans of this show. It really got me more interested in education, philosophy and morality. Not to mentoin technology which at the time seemed promising.

I didn’t know that, although I felt they sometimes used Riker to give people their dose of Kirk if they needed that. The first backwards compatible TV show? :)

Because of both the writing and the acting, Picard was a great role model for many young men.
