things i learned from tng...

99.9% of the sentient races in the galaxy are humanoid.
To be fair, they did give us an episode to explain that: DNA seeded on many worlds millions of years ago, specifically so that a race that evolved sentience and ventured out into space would not find themselves alone.

Yeah, the episode was called "The Chase" and I have to wonder if the whole point of that episode was finally to give a somewhat reasonable explanation why humanoid life seems to dominate the galaxy other than for storytelling purposes.
 
Thing's i learned from TNG

  1. If you have a super-smart teenager on your ship, just let him drive.
  2. There are ton's of temporal voids out there, so watch yourself.
  3. Klingon's are into kinky sex.
  4. If you relaxing on the holodeck, either you will be call away because of an emergency or the holodeck will try to kill you.
  5. The Enterprise will never run out of earl grey.
  6. Bajoran ensigns just dissappear over time.
  7. First Officers look better with beards.
  8. The Q continuim is full of douchebags.
  9. Klingon children are annoying.
  10. Shuttlecrafts constantly change size.

11. The chief engineer of the Federation Flagship works alone most of the time.

12. The windows on the ship are made of transparent aluminum and not the coffee tables or fish tanks.

13. In the 24th century rock 'n roll is out and classical is in.

14. In the future baseball faded away while tennis managed to cling to life.
 
^in regard to #14. IIRC the only reference to tennis was on Voyager

15. No matter what kind of foes/anomalies/random dangers you are facing: the main deflector will always find you a way out.

16. Approximately 60% of existing nebulas aren't made of gas and particles, but of living organisms (this comes mainly from VOY though)

17. Interracial relationships are the norm. Interethnic ones within the same race, are not.
 
In the future, women will have great hair.
And really small breasts

1) Medical science has advanced to the point where even a cat can have a sex change.

2) The ship's security chief can eat a ship's councilor shaped cake without it being a risqué metaphor.

3) First season chief engineers are a dime a dozens.
 
They have cured the common cold, but male pattern baldness is still sketchy

If you have an off-switch, never tell anyone

If you're the chief engineer and you want the captain to think you are a miracle worker, tell him an hour-long job takes three. (thanks, Scotty)

Androids are so close to being human, they wrinkle and age over time.

First officers must gain weight in order to fit in "the big chair" when the time comes.

Shut up, Westley!

The holodeck is usually never the best or safest place to be.

Things inside the holodeck cannot exist outside, except when they can.

E-books are out, hardcover is back in.

Androids are no match for ship's councilors when it comes to the game of chess.
