I thought Riker was a more convincing XO with a beard, w/o it he looked like some loser lady's man.
The first two seasons of ST:TNG were wholly different (visually and in tone) from seasons 3-7, and are slightly more reminescent of the original Star Trek. Check out those early ST:TNG episodes if you haven't seen 'em.
I totally agree. The borg were cool to start with, but then became an overused trick to gain ratings. I could never stand the holodeck episodes of ST:TNG, I want to see "space, the final frontier" when I watch star trek.
