Thank you Jean Luc

It’s been quite some time we shared. You teached me so much about my imagination, about good and bad. You have probably been one reason why I am now where I am, studying computer science and beeing the person I am. But only now I have seen the last episode (of 7 seasons, each about 25 episodes) and I’ll definitely miss it.

Well, for all of you who didn’t know yet: I’m a StarTrek TNG fan. It must have had something todo with the time in which the TNG series was produced — following the stories and characters was an inspiring experience. Nearly every episode is full of explorations of the human soul, tries to show the heights and depths of us and how we can decide where to go. I guess, much of that comes from Patrick Steward who plays an intellectual, culturally rich and yet strong Jean Luc Picard and alot of that is not just roleplay, I bet.

I have to admit, in my youth StarTrek characters were my role models. The ideals of which TNG is full of are pure and rich and I feel lucky to be influenced by them (don’t get me started on comparing them to new “science fiction” series like StarGate or something like that).

So, I just want to say thank you to all the writers, actors and visionaries who produced Star Trek - The Next Generation.
