Ribbonfarm is evolving through the equivalent of Star Trek in the 80s... blogchains are like the first 6 movies 1979-1991 between TOS and TNG. Lowkey hunting for a high concept to spin up TNG, and a new cast to go on new adventures
And I have to grow up from Spock to Picard.

Currently seeking people auditioning for Riker, Worf, Data, Troi, etc. No challenging me for captain's chair. I shall maintain an iron grip on editorial authoritah.

I think I was kinda like Kirk 2007-15, then I slipped into Nimoy/Spock into more of an editorial role (Nimoy was more director/screenwriter than actor during the movies era), but now need to switch to Picard gear. He was actually an excellent lead for an elder-franchise.

It's actually kinda fascinating that they chose to write the captain as an older, more mature executive-leadership character in TNG as opposed to the lead-the-charge mission-leadership Kirk mode. The Kirk archetype was taken over by Riker as first officer. This makes sense.

Interesting. Not exactly the same, but reminds me a little of Sherlock vs. Mycroft in BBC's Sherlock?

That's more parallel than series, but yeah, there's that dynamic too, though I think fans would argue with you about whether Picard was actually smarter than Kirk or just older :D
