Watching Star Trek: The Next Generation and being annoyed

I'll be upfront: I love Star Trek: TOS, and think that TNG hasn't really lived up to the expectations I had after watching that. Some of it may be because I don't care as much for the characters of TNG, but many of the stories are just dumb (well, all right, Spocks Brain may not have been a shining example of quality (though it was still awesome), but that was a whole different sort of badness).

Like Ensign Ro.

Actually, I liked the character Ro, but the premise of this whole Bajoran situation was just incredibly stupid.

( And here is why. )

Seriously, it was clumsy and stupid. Also like an anvil to the head when it comes to subtlety.

OK, I just really needed to get that off my chest I suppose, heh.
