Generations

The Next Generation crew, while not as adept at comical banter as the original cast, do represent a breath of fresh air. Brent Spiner is always dependable as Data, the android seeking to become more human, just as LeVar Burton is effortlessly affable as Mr. La Forge, and the two share numerous entertaining scenes together. The big addition, Malcolm McDowell, is a decent villain, but the writing does him few favours. At the center of it all is the inimitable Patrick Stewart. Headstrong, brave if a little brash, his Picard was always one of the great highlights of the show. Stewart the actor is rarely, if ever, to blame, and the sequences of physical heroism Picard must engage in are not of his doing but that of the screenwriting and direction. That said, it’s definitely not one of Stewart’s strengths: http://www.cutprintfilm.com/features/star-trek-retrospective-part-2/
