I know I have a hot take but I personally never cared for TNG. I feel like that probably is why I don’t care for the ship. It is all a little to much flamboyance.
Maybe I should go back and watch TNG. It has been many years wince I always go for VOY, DS9 or ENT.
TNG had to essentially build the foundations of modern Trek as it went along. All the following shows had the advantage of being able to use TNG as a baseline to bounce against. That makes TNG the de facto “vanilla” flavored Trek show compared to the other shows that could take some exotic approach to differentiate themselves from it.
