Star Trek: The Next Generation's USS Enterprise-D is one of the most iconic starships to bear that name, but it's missing something nearly every other Enterprise had. TNG got off to a rocky start in its inconsistent first season and didn't firmly establish its characters until seasons 2 and 3. Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his crew eventually became one of Star Trek's most beloved casts, but it took a season or two for everyone to find their footing.
