Star Trek: The Next Generation used to be a staple in the television industry in the late 80s and early 90s. Starring the likes of Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, and Brent Spiner among others, Tng went on for seven seasons, wowing audiences. Even after concluding in 1994, the show is still at a standing of 92% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Brent Spiner, who primarily played Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation, was a fan favorite. While he also played a few other roles in the franchise, Data remains the one that fans still relate him to. He once spoke on his thoughts about whether the beloved show should get a reboot in the future. And given this is the era of reboots, with so many old shows and movies getting the treatment, it won’t be a surprise if fans get a newer version of Tng either.

Actor Brent Spiner played the fan-favorite Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation. The actor played the android second-in-command of the USS Enterprise-d in the legendary show and also reprised his role in the new generation series Star Trek: Picard. Spiner, along with the original cast, went on to appear in four films based on Tng.
Spiner also played many of the alternate versions of Data in the show, including Sherlock Holmes in the classic ‘Elementary, My Dear Data’ episode. He also played his evil twin Lore and his creator Dr. Noonien Soong, which Spiner mentioned was his most terrifying role in the universe. He mentioned that he convinced the makers to play the role despite another actor being cast.

Star Trek: Picard continued the journey of Jean-Luc Picard after the events of Star Trek: Nemesis. Patrick Stewart returned as the character in the show, which spawned three seasons. Terry Matalas served as showrunner on the second and third seasons.

The Star Trek franchise has featured countless interesting and awe-inspiring characters throughout its run. While characters like Jean-Luc Picard or Captain Kirk are more prominent characters, Brent Spiner’s Data has equally remained a vital part of the mythos. Portraying the immortal android called Data, Spiner has remained a fan favorite for decades for the way he has tackled the complex character.

Multiple universes, merging times, and, a mechanism to travel in time. These are the three requirements that make up a cinematic universe in present times and Star Trek actor Jonathan Frakes thinks that it’s not such a good idea for Star Trek to do the same.

Star Trek: The Next Generations played a massive role in making Sir Patrick Stewart the star he is today. The role of Jean-Luc Picard established the X-Men star as a prominent face in modern pop culture. However, when Stewart was first slated to take over the lead role from the iconic William Shatner, it was met with skepticism from the Trekkies and even his The Next Generation co-actor.

Initially, the Trekkies were not ready to accept that their favorite Captain Kirk would be replaced in the new series. But it is interesting how another The Next Generation actor Michael Dorn was not convinced with Patrick Stewart taking over the popular franchise.

After Brent Spiner’s character Data died in Star Trek: Nemesis, he initially parted ways with the Star Trek franchise. However, with the birth of Star Trek: Picard on Paramount+, Spiner returned to reprise his role along with his old pals Patrick Stewart and LeVar Burton. This marked a 20-year reunion for the physical cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Brent Spiner, the actor known for portraying the role of the android Data in the Star Trek franchise got a little tired of playing the same character over and over again. In an honest interview, the actor had his fair share of problems with the Star Trek franchise, but he revealed that he kept coming back every year.

Star Trek: Discovery, which is the 7th series that encompassed the massive Star Trek franchise, debuted its first season in 2017 and is now in its 5th and final season which aired in Paramount+ on April 4, 2024. The show is a prequel that follows the crew of the starship Discovery a decade before the events of Star Trek: The Original Series.

When the series was given the greenlight, there were speculations from certain fans regarding the timeline that it was set in as they believed that prequels were becoming redundant. The show though, took a risky and bold decision regarding the time factor after two seasons that allowed them to work without the pressure of continuity while also creating a whole new narrative that could be freshly developed.

Patrick Stewart has played an umpteen number of iconic characters in his long career. The actor is as versatile as one can be and is unafraid to take on roles that one might not necessarily see him in. His most popular role is undoubtedly his long run as Professor X in the Marvel Universe. The actor has played the character since the 2000s and most recently in 2022’s Doctor Strange 2.

In current times, inclusivity and representation have become a very important necessity in any workplace or industry. Charles Xavier famously moves with the help of a wheelchair as he is paralyzed below his waist. With the question of whether a new Professor X should be played by a differently abled person, Stewart feels that putting that kind of specificity restricts creativity.

Patrick Stewart was a part of the Royal Shakespeare Company before he joined Hollywood in more prominent roles like Jean-Luc Picard in the iconic Star Trek franchise. This left a lasting impression on the actor on how to be serious at all times which led to some trouble on the sets of the 1987 series Star Trek: The Next Generation.

In most cases, ignoring haters is often the best way to deal with them, as engaging in any sort of dispute ends up feeding the trolls. But Star Trek icon Michael Dorn had a unique approach when it came to dealing with two haters at a convention.
Known for playing Worf in the Star Trek franchise, the actor is notable for making the most number of appearances throughout the IP’s decades-long history than any other actors. But despite being one of the most beloved characters from the franchise, like any other thing in media, Worf isn’t immune to haters, and Dorn once had the incredible opportunity to scare two of them.

Star Trek is one of the most significant and oldest media franchises out there. It has amassed a massive fan base over the years. However, the franchise faced a major setback in 2002 when Star Trek: Nemesis turned out to be a gigantic critical and commercial flop.
Brent Spiner, who played the role of the android Data in The Next Generation series, 4 films, and in the Picard series admitted that Nemesis‘ failure made him feel that the fans are done with Star Trek.

Star Trek: Nemesis was the fourth and the last film with the cast of The Next Generation series. Additionally, it also had Tom Hardy playing the antagonist opposite Patrick Stewart’s lead. Unfortunately, nothing could save the film from the abysmal response with some critics even labeling it as the worst in the franchise.

Patrick Stewart was a hard sell for Star Trek: Picard since he believed that Jean-Luc Picard’s arc was finished after Star Trek: Nemesis. However, Alex Kurtzman, Akiva Goldsman, and other creators of the series convinced him to take on the role in the series. He put a lot of consideration into committing to the project, as evident from a list of three conditions he presented to the creators.

They were obviously not thrilled about the conditions and tried to reason with the X-Men actor, who stuck to his guns. While the creators agreed to them, they did one thing that Stewart asked them specifically not to do in the conditions during the third season of the series.

When television science fiction works, it can change us. However, lasting long enough to make an impact is a hell of a trick. "Star Trek," the keystone franchise for multiple generations of fans and scientists, fought for its survival more than once. In the end, the original, larger than life phenomena lasted only three seasons. In a similar vein, "Babylon 5" remains a quieter but no less impactful series for modern science fiction fans, with the "Lord of the Rings" inspired space opera struggling every year since the poorly reviews first season for more time to finish its planned five year arc -- and a reboot from its original creator is still going through similar trials.
The problem is that good science fiction is always experimental, almost always more expensive than dramas or safe sitcoms, and it relies on an audience hanging in long enough for the plot to really hit its stride.

"Star Trek" is a dream gig, but it can also be a nightmare. Brent Spiner, who played the android Data on "Star Trek: The Next Generation," spoke to TV Guide in 1994 about how he will always be Data in the eyes of the public. He could win an Oscar for playing an elderly woman, he said, and still die knowing that Data would be listed first in his obituary. "Star Trek" is such a powerful force in the pop cultural zeitgeist that playing a "Trek" character can mark an actor forever; it must have been hard to walk away from "Star Trek," walk into another audition, and hear "Hey! It's Chekov!" or "Do the Riker thing!"
This was certainly experienced by DeForest Kelley a prolific TV actor and well-known pop culture heavy prior to "Star Trek." Gene Roddenberry already knew Kelley in the early '60s after the pair worked...

Melissa Rauch’s revisit to the nocturnal courthouse has been renewed. Deadline reports that NBC has ordered another season of the Night Court revival that aims to recapture the charm of the 1984 classic sitcom that starred Harry Anderson as Judge Stone. Rauch executive produces in addition to starring on the show and she portrays Judge Stone’s daughter, Abby.
According to Deadline, there was a delay in the greenlight, which was caused by NBC and the producing studio Warner Bros. TV having renegotiate on the size of the order for the third season. A deal was finally reached and will ultimately consist of 18 episodes. The contract for the show has stipulated that the series would feature a usual 22-episode run for each season. However, the network requested 18 episodes. The show premiered as a mid-season launch and, for that reason, it would sport a halved number of episodes to a normal run of a show.

When the Borg were first introduced on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (in the 1989 episode "Q Who"), they were terrifying. Clearly inspired by the works of H.R. Giger, the Borg sported tubes, servos, wires, and ineffable black machinery sprouting from their bodies. The Borg were made up of other species that had been kidnapped and assimilated into their collective, their minds wiped and replaced with a singular, terrifying machine consciousness. The Borg traversed space in outsized cube-shaped vessels, likewise crisscrossed with wires and ducts. They only had one goal: to grow. As Q (John de Lancie) described them, the Borg are the ultimate users. They look out at the universe and emotionlessly see nothing but raw materials to expand with.
The Borg returned periodically throughout "Next Generation," becoming one of the show's more impressive antagonists. The race of soulless machine people proved to be a great villain.

In the "Star Trek: Prodigy" episode "Mindwalk", the crew of the U.S.S. Protostar has learned that their ship is infected with an insidious computer virus planted by the evil Diviner (John Noble). It seems that the virus can be spread through mere communications channels, meaning Dal (Brett Gray), Gwyn (Ella Purnell), and the rest of the Protostar teens can't explain who they are to the grumpy Admiral Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) pursuing them in a massive vessel called the U.S.S. Dauntless. If the virus infects a ship, its systems will be rewired to automatically attack other Federation vessels. The Diviner aims to destroy the Federation before a cataclysmic future event occurs; the Diviner, naturally, is a time traveler.
With the Dauntless on their tail, Dal realizes that he can communicate with Janeway. Dal, it seems, has some mild and latent telepathic abilities, and reaches out to communicate directly to Janeway's brain.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine earned its position as a favorite series among fans because of its more complex take on the franchise’s themes, thrusting the United Federation of Planets into a huge war that tested its moral compass time and again. But even at the height of the Dominion War, DS9 also found time to follow Jake and Nog’s search for a baseball card and to check in on a holographic Rat Pack lounge singer.

Star Trek: Discovery co-showrunner Alex Kurtzman previously told TVLine that the sci-fi drama’s fifth and final season was dependent on a “very significant” Star Trek Easter egg, and we finally know what he meant by that.
The season’s first two episodes, which are now streaming on Paramount+, sent the Discovery crew on one last adventure to find the missing clues spread throughout the galaxy that will lead them to the ancient device used by an ancient species, known as the Progenitors, to create life as we know it.

On the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "Genesis", the eternally nervous Lieutenant Reginald Barclay (Dwight Schultz) goes to sickbay insisting he has Terellian Death Syndrome. Dr. Crusher (Gates McFadden), finding it's a mild flu, injects him with a synthetic T-cell, activating a gene that would provide him with immunities. Unwittingly, Dr. Crusher also activates every dormant gene in Barclay's body, causing ancient, pre-evolutionary "memory" genes to activate and forcing Barclay to change species. Barclay suddenly evolves into a spider. It spreads, naturally. Nurse Ogawa (Patti Yasutake) evolves into an ape. Commander Riker (Jonathan Frakes) evolves into a protohuman. Data (Brent Spiner) evolves into a 1980 Commodore Vic-20.
That last one was a little joke. Data is fine.

"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" has a knack for proving skeptics wrong. You say Paramount+ can't do a prequel "Star Trek" series that reimagines iconic characters like Spock, Kirk, and Uhura with a cast of new actors? Watch them. Think it's impossible to strike the original series' balance between earnest pathos, sci-fi geekery, warm-hearted hijinks, and indelible camp? Think again. Don't even get this show started on which genres do and don't check classic "Star Trek" boxes; it'll blow your personal definition of classic "Trek" wide open with a Medieval costume drama, an animation-live action crossover, a musical, or -- in the upcoming season, according to Variety -- a "Hollywood murder mystery."

Actress Marina Sirtis played the role of Deanna Troi in Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek: The Next Generation, which remains the defining iteration of the sci-fi franchise for a large section of fans. As a result, Star Trek fans have often taken issue with some of the depictions, themes, and storylines in the series that ran for seven seasons.

One of the major issues with the show was the portrayal of Deanna Troi, which initially lacked any sort of nuance as she was reduced to a decorative item. Marina Sirtis has voiced her concerns with her character’s sexualized depiction in the series, which will only add to the displeasure of fans. Here is what Sirtis has said about playing Deanna Troi.

There’s lots of love to go around on the Night Court set. For starters, creator and star Melissa Rauch has a deep love of the original series. That love shows in the commitment to a keeping a revolving door of guest stars just like its predecessor. It also pays an even clearer homage by having the guest stars be cast members from the 1984 series. Marsha Warfield returned as the beloved Roz in the Season 2 premiere and will be back in the finale, in the Wheelers — played by Brent Spiner and Annie O’Donnell — made their first return in the March 12 episode. The born unlucky couple appeared in six episodes of the first Night Court. They came back for more in the reboot, this time with Big Bang Theory alum Kate Micucci as their daughter.

TVLine has an exclusive sneak peek at this Tuesday’s Night Court (8/7c, NBC), with Brent Spiner and Annie O’Donnell reprising their roles as the hard-luck couple Bob and June Wheeler from the show’s original NBC run. In the clip, which you can watch above, Bob marvels at how nothing has changed in the courtroom in 30 years: “Judge Stone, you look the same!” Um, it was actually Abby’s late father Harry Stone who was the judge last time around, but never mind.

Actor Brent Spiner's most visible acting role was probably Data, the android lieutenant commander on "Star Trek: The Next Generation." As Data, Spiner appeared in 176 episodes of "Next Generation," in the four spin-off movies, and in five episodes of "Star Trek: Picard." He also appeared on "Picard" as a new amalgam android character, as well as multiple members of the Soong family throughout various "Star Trek" shows. For an actor who was initially cast as an emotionless being, Spiner certainly played some of the franchise's more dramatic characters.
Spiner has always expressed a little ambivalence toward Data. While he certainly appreciates the money and fame brought to him by the role, Spiner felt that "Star Trek" might have robbed him of the ability to play a wide variety of parts. He feared casting agents would look at him and be unable to look past his "Star Trek" android.

Brent Spiner and Annie O’Donnell will appear in next week’s episode, “Wheelers of Fortune,” you can check out some photos of their Night Court return below.
Kate Micucci joins the pair as their daughter Carol Ann. “Huge surprises are in store for Dan when he’s tasked with representing Bob and June Wheeler, the notoriously unfortunate couple from the original iteration who resurface – this time with daughter Carol Ann in tow,” reads the episode’s synopsis. “While 30 years may have elapsed, their bad luck undoubtedly continues to plague them.“

Actor Brent Spiner, who played the android Data on "Star Trek: The Next Generation," once called the role a double-edged sword. While playing Data brought Spiner a great deal of attention and fame, he also knew he would forever be associated with that one role. He once commented that he could go on to win an Academy Award, but that Data would still be listed first in his obituary. The associations that grow between "Star Trek" and its actors are unbreakable. Just ask William Shatner about it sometime.
Spiner has returned to "Star Trek" again and again, however, eventually playing seven different characters throughout the franchise: He played Data, Lore, B-4, Noonien Soong, Adam Soong, Altan Soong, and Arik Soong. Spiner has clearly made peace with his "Star Trek" associations and embraces them with enthusiasm. Most recently, Spiner appeared in the third season of "Star Trek: Picard," playing a very...

By the third season of "Star Trek: Picard," Data (Brent Spiner) had already died twice. At the end of 2002's "Star Trek: Nemesis," Data sacrificed his life to blow up a massive Romulan warship and save the USS Enterprise-e from danger. In the first season of "Picard," however, a motivated cyberneticist gathered up particles of Data's exploded body from deep space and used them to somehow reconstitute Data's brain with its memories intact. Data's consciousness was kept alive in a database on a faraway android homeworld until Picard (Patrick Stewart) found it. Data revealed that he was quite finished being alive and asked that Picard unplug his consciousness. Picard agreed and Data died a second time.
In the third season of "Picard," however, it was revealed that the cyberneticist, Dr. Altan Soong (also Spiner), had saved a copy of Data's consciousness and shunted it into a brand new android body.

In the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "Data's Day", it was revealed that Data (Brent Spiner) had acquired a pet cat. Likely looking through a database of popular pet names, Data chose the name "Spot" for his orange tabby. Spot was played by a series of cats over his tenure on "Star Trek," including Bud Monster, Brandy, Tyler, Spencer, and Zoe. In the episode "Genesis", Spot devolved into an iguana (don't ask), played by a reptile named Willie. Spot, previously referred to as "he" transformed into a female in "Genesis," likely because the show's writers wanted him to have kittens.
Spot appeared in eight episodes of "Next Generation," had a few scenes in both "Star Trek: Generations" and "Star Trek: Nemesis," and was resurrected for a dream sequence in an episode of "Star Trek: Picard." The cat actor for "Picard" seems to have wanted to remain uncredited. It was...

Even if you don’t know an El-Aurian from an Illyrian, even if you can’t tell the original Enterprise from the Enterprise-D, you’re probably familiar with one of the fundamental rules of Star Trek: redshirts always die.
Unlike many of the popular misconceptions about the series, the redshirt stereotype does have grounding in the show. Over the course of three seasons in The Original Series, 26 characters wearing red tunics died, as opposed to 15 wearing gold and blue combined. But that trend stopped with the Star Trek movies, and continued to fall away with The Next Generation and the spinoffs that followed.
Why, you ask? Because the costume colors signify a crewman’s role on their particular ship, and the color scheme changed between Tos and Tng.
Although some Trekkies hate to admit it, Star Trek didn’t really have much in the way of canon in its first few episodes.

Ensign Ro Laren (Michelle Forbes) first appeared in the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "Ensign Ro", and she introduced an interesting character dynamic to the series. Whereas most of the characters on "Next Generation" were wholly devoted to Starfleet principals and unwaveringly loyal to Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart), Ensign Ro felt that Starfleet frequently let suffering go unacknowledged. She was combative and disobedient as a result, often openly defying her captain and responding to diplomatic solutions with belligerence.
Forbes' performance was so assured and defiant, however, that Ro's disobedience never felt impulsive or immature. Her reactions were organic and principled, revealing a hardened but understandable heart. Ro only appeared in eight episodes of "Next Generation," but she was always welcome to shake up the system and offer metaphorical headbutts to her commanding officers.

We knew there’d be serious consequences for what Ian and Jenn did — hijacking the quantum chip from the affluent tech boss Gideon (played by James Frain), who then waltzed into their headquarters unannounced — but that didn’t make the fallout any less jarring.
Tuesday’s episode of Quantum Leap found Ian and Magic sitting across from Gideon, who made it clear someone would have to pay for stealing from him.

John Larroquette admits it was more than a little sad when he first walked on the set of the new Night Court.
Speaking with reporters Tuesday from the comedy’s set on the Warner Bros. lot, Larroquette recalled his state of mind when he decided to reprise his character, Dan Fielding, for the NBC reboot. “As we all know, out of all of the originally cast, I am literally the only one left on the door like Leo in Titanic, wondering if I would make it.”
“There was some sadness involved,” he continued about the reboot. “But the aliveness of these people around me made me it bittersweet and it became sweeter and sweeter. The heart of the show is in their hands. Melissa [Rauch] is running this boat well. I became sort of pleased with coming back. Still, sometimes, I am reminiscent. So much of my career was buoyed by this show.

In the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "The Royale", the Enterprise encounters a mysterious, uninhabited planet that houses a small bubble of breathable air. When Commander Riker (Jonathan Frakes), Lieutenant Commander Data (Brent Spiner), and Lieutenant Worf (Michael Dorn) beam down to investigate, they astonishingly find a 20th-century-era hotel/casino called The Royale, populated by people who don't seem to know they're the only humans located on a distant world.
Through a series of investigations, the Starfleet officers learn that the Royale was constructed by strange, powerful aliens many years before, specifically to house a single human astronaut who left Earth way back in 2037. It seems the off-screen aliens accidentally killed most of the astronaut's friends and shunted his ship through a wormhole.
