''The Next Generation'' followed the theme of the original series, but set about 100 years later with a new crew and a new ship, also named the U.S.S. ''Enterprise'', specifically the U.S.S. ''Enterprise''-D. By this time, the Klingons were at peace with the Federation, and the crew included a Klingon security officer, as well as various other non-human races.

The Ferengi were introduced, and were initially meant to be villains. However, as the series went on, they became a more comical foe. The Cardassians, who would go on to play a major role in ''Deep Space Nine,'' became villains in the later years of the series. A major foe introduced with this series was the [[Borg]], a "collective" of [[drone]]s, beings from various races who were "assimilated" into the collective.

When encountering another spaceship, the Borg would often introduce themselves with the statement "''"We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile!''". The "resistance is futile" phrase has since entered popular culture.

The omnipotent character "Q", with his fascination of Captain Picard and putting humanity on trial had an everlasting impact on the series. Q’s appearance in the 1994 series finale titled “All Good Things…” acted as the perfect bookend to the series, which began with “Encounter at Farpoint” in 1987.
