I can’t sing the praises of TrekCore.com<\/a> enough. Especially their Rare Photos section,<\/a> which delights me to no end, no matter how many times I peruse the archives. There are so many photos that make me wish I could have been privy to what was transpiring just outside the confines of that moment forever frozen in time. <\/p>\n

There are several candid shots of the TNG crew from the first season that I find particularly mesmerizing. Images like these two, in which something is going on right off-camera that has obviously utterly delighted Dr. Crusher and Commander Riker: <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(Also, just a guess here, but I bet Frakes went home with a bruise from Gates belting him in that second shot.)<\/p>\n

Or this one, with Data in a cardigan (“Will you not be my neighbor?”)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Or this odd publicity shot of the lovely ladies of TNG: <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Okay, let’s try this one again. Bev, take off the lab coat. And, Tasha, put your leg down.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No, still not right. Too red. And, Deanna, stop slouching! <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now that’s much better. This was actually the final shot they used as a publicity photo. Do you remember the captain’s chair with wood on the instrumentation panels? Neither do I. I also don’t remember Dr. Crusher’s lab coat ever looking quite so…crushed velvety. <\/p>\n

Anyway, that’s all I’ve got for today, denizens. Well, except for this screen capture, which didn’t come from TrekCore, but still delights me. Why? Because these are my three favorite TNG characters. <\/p>\n
