It must have been ridiculously awesome to be Wil Wheaton.

Case in point:

Sorry for the downvote -- I meant to hit the up arrow.

Thanks, I was scratching my head over that one...

How could being kissed by Marina Sirtis as a teenage boy be made of anything but pure, fissile, reactor-grade win?

Indeed. One of the great questions of the modern age.

some of those almost brought me to tears. brent spiner with stephen hawking, brent spiner with what looks to be an insanely large cigar. the various directorial shots of jonathan frakes. oh man. thanks for these

Thanks for the memories. I feel old after looking at the pictures and remembering I used to collect StarTrek TNG card. Good memories.

Why was I voted down? I wasn't being rude or sarcastic.

I'm not bothered by the vote, just curious what caused the person to do it.

Don't worry about it. Someone went through and downvoted half of the comments on this thread. Possibly just a TNG hater.

The fact that this made it to the front page not only confirms the stereotypes that I'm representative, but made me giddy to be surrounded by so many other nerds. How many of you had Star Trek: TNG action figures? :)

I won a call-into-the-radio contest when I was eight years old for being able to name Levar Burton as Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge. My mom didn't believe me when I told her I won. I think the prize ended up being a Weird Al cassette and some temporary tattoos.

Weird Al and ST:TNG. Defining media for the 90's teenage nerd :)

I suppose Hacker News is the only place where people might relate to this comment: Did anyone else look at the first picture and wonder why Mendel Rosenblum was on the set of Star Trek?

Star Trek TNG is the best Star Trek ever.

I don't want to seem like the huge geek that I am, but seeing these pictures makes me feel like I'm seeing a childhood friend who I haven't seen in years.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go buy the entire series on DVD....
