In real world practical terms, it would be no end of mess.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-65450876494425944422020-09-27T20:55:41.193-04:002020-09-27T20:55:41.193-04:00It definitely helped prepare for Alexander, for be...It definitely helped prepare for Alexander, for better or for worse.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-51643466787150863642020-09-27T20:54:15.079-04:002020-09-27T20:54:15.079-04:00I will stop by soon.

Just too many thrown together troupes for me. Yes, the children on the Enterprise angle is my main dislike. After that you have yet another entity on the Enterprise who causes trouble.<br /><br />Yeah, the character development of Wesley is the one saving grace.<br /><br />I think I understand Roddenberry's intention by including families on the TNG Enterprise. The Encounter At Farpoint novelization said something about making the separate Federation species develop more of a sense of unity.<br /><br />But being that the Enterprise was going into unknown and possibly hostile territory the concept always struck me as ridiculous. Now on a starship running between different planets in settled space, I could see that.

But as a Worf spotlight, it was the first step in actually knowing what to do with him, and probably helped point in the direction of Alexander (which at least spun out of a lot of fruitful Klingon drama!).Tony Laplumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07854455859399339169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-20119065013849851132020-09-25T10:49:23.473-04:002020-09-25T10:49:23.473-04:00Another one I don't remember.
