The Next Gen crew is getting old ...

[fallensaviour]

They will always be "the new crew"

Much to the dismay of T1K....LOL

Oh absolutely.

Just like Dave Gilmour is still knows as the Pink Floyd newbee

Yeah they're getting older but that just makes them more experienced and better.As for Data,Brent Spinner has said he feels" he looks to old to play the character"but this can be explained away by the fact that Data wants to be more human and getting old is part of the human condition.So he has chosen to make his appearance older and wiser.They will always be "the new crew"

Wow the time did fly by. I have to admit most of them look as if they were getting older with each season and film, and not just the typical normal aging, Frakes in Nemesis looked really old. Did they ever explian how Data was aging ? LOL.

Should have a sign in front of him..:

"WILL AUTOGRAPH FOR ANY MOVIE ROLE"

Yikes! Looks like he slept in his car the night before!....and why is he handcuffed to the table?

I love the Next Gen crew, and have been fortunate to either see or meet them at Trek cons. And Patrick wasn't too old to be voted sexiest man in America by People magazine in the early 90s. And Kirk was, (according to the story line), the youngest Captain in Starfleet for his time, so yeah, pretty much anyone would be older than he was!

JONATHAN FRAKES ROCKS! He's still a big fan favorite, I remember seeing him back in '92 in Minneapolis.

Funny as hell, he really knows how to entertain a crowd.

Data could not make any more appearances. Androids don't age! Saw Insurrection last night and it was apparent Brent should not have been in the movie!

Man, you pegged that..!!! Unless they get a better makeup guy for the movies. Data's looked terrible in every movie after First Contact.

If you compare his look on TV to the movies, he was much 'whiter' and a general cleaner appearance under the television cameras; the movies have made his face look oily and well, ugly. I guess most of that's due to skin aging, but with all the aging actresses out there made to lose 20yrs under the lights, you'd think they can figure out a way to make Spiner look better.

Also, totally agree on the sci-fi women comment ~ Anne Lockhart, Erin Gray, they're still tops!!

Been that long already, eh? Man, time flies

I still remember when Next Gen was still in the planning stages, one of the people up for the role of Captain Picard was William Campbell -- aka The Squire of Gothos -Trelane.

I kid you not ... I think I read that in Starlog.

[fallensaviour]

In all fairness Patrick Stewart always looked like he was 70. He's like Louis gossett Jr, and Steve Martin....The guys always looked old, even when they werent, so nobody notices as they age.

I still recall my first reaction when I first saw pictures of the then "new" Captain. I couldnt figure out why everyone was saying the original cast was too old for more tv adventures, and then they go and stick this bald old fart in the Captains chair??!!
(luckily the guy could act )

Ditto...I laughed my butt off cause I thought it was a joke at first...LOL
I figured picard would get killed off quickly and ryker would become captain...???
Never happened though...
