Is Startrek: TNG a lot better than TOS? I've found it's taken me over 10 episodes, but I'm only beginning to enjoy TOS as I get to know what the people and aliens are about. I find it rather difficult to enjoy the clean cut and highly regulated style of the enterprise crew who seem to do their best to suppress their adrenaline and emotion on a regular basis. its rather off putting coming from shows like Lexx with its small crew of informal and unprofessional fugitives, and Farscape which had a a bit of a the former but mostly the latter. I know TNG is the more viewed series today, but I want to know a bit about the universe before jumping in.

All of the Star Trek shows have a fairly formal approach to character interaction. TNG even moreso than the original. Deep Space 9 is probably the most relaxed of the TV shows, but even then, there's a lot of "yes sir" and "no sir". The reboot movies might be more to your liking. If anything, they overcompensate in the other direction.

Lets be honest, its very unlikely anyone will be satisfied.

I don't know. I'm remarkably adept at accepting clumsy setting changes.

So, maybe 1 person will be satisfied. Maybe.

Enterprise is quite relaxed. DS9 (great user name btw!) can be rather stiff early on, but definitely loosens up; it is a serious plot-driven show, but the crew is only, like, half Starfleet, so that helps keep things varied.

If Startrek didn't compensate with such good characters and story I certainly would have walked away by now.

sounds a bit like caines mutiny. It was all Navy, but far from orderly and disciplined, nor could it be described as silly. Focused greatly on the struggle of an orderly disciplinary style of captain trying to take over for a much less formal and disciplined captain.

How are they going to explain humans being in the new Mass Effect game? Technically, all of the aliens being humanoid in the original games is already a stretch. Now they're going to have humans in another galaxy?

In all probability they're going to handwave how humans get there. Maybe yet another Prothean artifact or instructions on building a super-plot device the Reapers overlooked (what are we up to, ten?) Mix in some   "Resources!" And you're good to go.

 

As for all the races being humanoid, as explained in earlier posts, that's a pretty common scifi trope
