things i learned from tng...

while i suppose this could be applicable to any st franchise, tng is the only one i have seen all of thus far, and so i thought it might be entertaining to see what goofy lessons you guys took from the show.

for example, i learned that in the future, any door anywhere in the galaxy will make the exact same paaaahsqueak noise. (voyager sidenote - this also applies to the delta quadrant).

 

That Frenchmen have English accents.

 

I imagine that many of those who learned English in school do. There's no rule thay says that a person is never allowed to learn a second language perfectly.

 

In the future, really ugly boots will be all the rage.

 

ooh, true story. i also learned that men will realize that while they CAN wear miniskirt uniforms, it's probably best that they dont.

 

I learned that there will be no unattractive women in the future.

 

I've learned that personal computers are going to look oddly similar to my old laptop from 10 years ago.

^^Watch the woman Riker flirts in The Gambit part one4.

 

Dr. Pulaski.

 

Quite attractive for a middle-aged woman...she was just unfortunately cursed with a bad poofy 80s hairdo.

 

In the 24th century no matter where you go anyone with a office has the same window frame.

 

This is true.

 

If you're on the Enterprise, Riker will get the ladies

 

In the last 44 years, six TV series (counted animated series) and 11 movies TNG is only one with the balls to do a clip show as their season finale.

 

Working in engineering is tough. You have to be ready to do a roll under that automatic door at a moment's notice.

 

Worf has a glass jaw.

Data can't use contractions. Except when he can.

There are some games Wesley doesn't know yet.

 

Nobody lies when they have sand in their shoes.

 

Coffee tables are made of very inexpensive glass.

 

That curved corridors always have the same radius no matter where on the ship they are.

That every alien race uses Okudagrams.
