It also had the weakest stories, presumably from a writing staff who were still finding their spacelegs. I had a friend who passed away in '93 who possessed a copy of the scriptwriters guide for TNG. My favorite part was the section on 'cliched' storylines that the producers absolutely would _never_ accept. Included as examples were: deux ex machina plots and computer goes berserk plots. By the end of the series a few of those had aired. :) > > >I personally think one of the coolest TNG eps was "Darmok" and I can't > >remember just when Roddenberry died with respect to that. > > > > Julia > > That was a GREAT episode. It was filmed before Gene's death. Darmok was ep # 102 and was the 2nd ep of season 5. Episodes 101 and 102 were entitled Redemption I and Redemption II. A picture exists somewhere (I don't remember where I saw it...) of Gene on the Ent-D bridge cutting their 100th episode cake with the entire cast of Redemption I.
