whatch-17931 Review of Encounter at Farpoint

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Encounter at Farpoint (1987) Season 1, Episode 1

Riker watches Encounter at Farpoint on TV

[6/10 · 14 May 2021]

Clunky first episode. The Q story was bolted on to make it movie length. Good thing ultimately because the Farpoint plot is quite weak.

There is a positively surreal scene where Riker is watching this very episode on TV.
