Drat, I thought this thread was going to be quotes from ST:TNG Season 1 which showed just how much Trek has **devolved** over the years. You know, stuff like: DR. BEVERLY CRUSHER: “You have a **headache?** That’s remarkable! Headaches are almost unheard of thanks to 24th century medicine.” – _ST:TNG_, season 1, episode"11001001" ---
