It's kind of funny to see the first episode(s) of TNG now. For instance, Data acts pretty much human, he just looks weird and can't whistle Pop Goes The Weasel (which Riker couldn't remember in Star Trek: Nemesis
), but you can tell Brent Spiner had to get the character down.
Plus Captain Picard is a real dickhead and Troi wears a skirt so short her camel toe pops out when she sits down.
