I have read this book hundreds of times. I love getting it out when I watch a Next Generation rerun, so that I can see the mistakes and it is hilarious! Phil Farrand has a unique sense of humor that only Trek lovers can understand. I highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys watching Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Though not as outrageously funny as the Nitpicker's Guide to Classic Star Trek, this volume had me, a grown man, giggling like a naughty schoolgirl (and that's quite a confession). All the inconsistencies and plot oversights are handled by a very sarcastic and wry author (Phil Farrand) who knows how to make us laugh at a great but sometimes pretentious and pompous TV show in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

I've had this book for quite sometime and I still go back and read parts of it every now and again when I need a laugh.

This book is for the serious Trekker (or Trekkie) who can take a joke.

A brilliant, post-post-modern book that compiles an episode guide and list of mistakes for a television program. For maximum irony the world really needs a 'nitpicker's guide to nitpicker's guides'.

More specifically, there are two volumes of 'Next Generation' guides (the first goes up to the end of series 6, the second has additional mistakes, condensed episode guides, and 'Generations'). It works brilliantly just as an episode guide, and the mistakes are well-chosen and quite perceptive. There's also a fantastic 'Original Series' guide, a 'Deep Space Nine' guide (which is very large and dull, a bit like the series itself), and an 'X-Files' guide. Nothing on 'Voyager' yet.

Or is it u-post-modern?

Only problem with the books is knowing there aren't going to be more of them. That's right, But the books themselves are really great, make me wish I had a better TV and VCR, though, as some are really hard to catch. I am more into the plot problems, I got a kick out of Phil's story of what really got him into nitpicking, as it was something that drove me nuts too!

What an entertainer! You just never get sick of this book. The basic concept is finding mistakes (or "nits") in the Star Trek: The Next Generation TV series. It includes episode reviews, trivia questions & tote boards. He spots things that you'd never think of seeing: before this i could go through an entire episode without seeing anything wrong, but he'd find 2 pages of nits on that episode. Another plus-point is the size of the book, great value for all ages. All in all, a MUST for all TRUE Next Gen fans!

THESE BOOKS ARE A MUST FOR ANY COLLECTION, THEY ARE REALLY VERY GOOD AND BRINGOUT ALL THE EXCENTRCITIES IN ANY STORY LINE THAT WE ALL LOVE TO CATCH AND SAY HEY EVEN IN THE 24TH CENTRY THEY HAVE TECHNICAL P0ROBLEMS EHEHEHEHEHHEEHE WELL ENJOY, I KNOW I AM STILL ENJOYING ST TNG & DEEP SPACE NINE RIGHT NOW.

A fine supplement to Volume I filled with even more minutiae. Covers all 7 seasons - 178 episodes.

How many times have you watched a movie or TV show and found an inconsistancy? There were several I had found and lots that I did not catch. I really enjoyed reading this, but I got the book before the final season of TNG, so my book is missing the final season. How can I get it without buying the whole book again?
