Here's an unauthorized compendium for Trekkers who are unafraid of pointing the finger at oversights, and who know it's great fun to find the sloppy mistakes (or cost-cutting cheating) in a show that takes itself very seriously.

This book is great!,

This review is from: The Nitpicker's Guide for Next Generation Trekkers (Paperback)
If you are into nitpicking, this book is great. While reading it, I was able to remember most of the scenes that were discussed, but the best way to read this book is with the episode playing in the background. Some nits require that you freeze and rewind to catch it. Each episode review contains trivia questions, but they are hard, so dont feel bad if you get them wrong. Also, Season seven is not covered in this one. It is included in part 2. I recommend this for al Trekkers. This author has also come out with a Deep Space Nine book, and Original series book, and an X-files book, as well as a sequel to this one. It must be nice to make a living nitpicking TV episodes!

Great Book,

This review is from: The Nitpicker's Guide for Next Generation Trekkers (Paperback)
This is one of the most gratifying books I have ever read. As a self-proclaimed grammar cop, it is great to know that someone is paying as much attention to detail as I do. I pull out the ol' Nitpicker's Guide every time I watch an episode of TNG, but I have also read it cover-to-cover about 5 times. I am absolutely amazed by the thoroughness of the author (as well as by the amount of free time he must have!) I love this book.

How often is being picky this much fun?,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Nitpicker's Guide for Next Generation Trekkers (Paperback)
Fun! Fun! Fun! - Oh sure, there are those who enjoy watching Trek for the sake of
watching, but after about the 15th time you've seen Troi in those low-cut uniforms
or admired Data's Sherlock Holmes, you just have to find MORE in these episodes.
When you reach that point of Trek saturation - pull out this book (or the companion book
for Classic Trek) and crank up that VCR. You'll be amazed at what you've missed, or
maybe smug with what you've already noticed! Either way, you just can't lose! Buy
your set now & stun your friends & family with your astute observations during their next Trek rerun viewing
