The Stars of TNG: Then And Now [PHOTOS]

Star Trek: The Next Generation hit the syndicated television airwaves back in September of 1987 with the series premiere “Encounter at Farpoint.” Now, thirty years after the show’s debut, most of the cast remain close friends with a love for each other that is clearly evident during their on-stage convention appearances around the world.

TNG, which ran for seven seasons, received 18 Emmy Awards, two Hugo Awards, five Saturn Awards and a Peabody Award.

In the gallery below, see the crew of the Enterprise-D: Patrick Stewart (Jean-Luc Picard), Jonathan Frakes (William Riker), LeVar Burton (Geordi La Forge), Denise Crosby (Tasha Yar), Michael Dorn (Worf), Gates McFadden (Beverly Crusher), Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi), Brent Spiner (Data), John de Lancie (Q) and Wil Wheaton (Wesley Crusher) as they appeared during TNG’s first season and as they do recently.

As a reminder, Star Trek: The Next Generation – The Complete Series is now available in high-definition on Blu-ray.
