I heard they were going to cancel Star Trek TNG until The Best of Both Worlds premiered as the season finale. Sometimes shows need a little fleshing out period. While early Pokemon gave us such gems as Ash having the hots for Giselle, his character really wasn't established then. Nowdays, we can appreciate HAPPENING moments more because they're in the context we understand, thus making them more special. Also, if someone in your series' team sucks (Gene Roddenberry), them leaving (dying) often marks a dramatic improvement
