Sometimes being an adult is great. For example: when you purchase an entire television series on VHS!

Is Q hypocritical here? The Enterprise's helping The Bandi isn’t commendable to him.

So it is cool for Q to sideline himself while Bandi lives AND some unknown space entities are at stake?

I wonder if the whole Farpoint mission is a contained Q test? There's too much in the balance. Is Q barbaric?

Intrusive stunt double alert! And another lengthy lengthy intro to new TNG tech with the holodeck. Kills the pacing off this Pilot a bit.

We're so quick to separate the saucer here. How much of this was a knee-jerk fight and flight reaction vs. production hustling out this new fun spectacle to draw in viewers? It's cool but feels a bit forced.

Q presents us with doubt about the ongoing state of humanity. Once barbarians, always barbarians. Our progress, albeit largely positive, enables us to take advantage of more advanced forms of barbarism. Can a species so vast ever transcend this stagnation?

Star Trek TNG 1x01/02
Encounter at Farpoint

The Enterprise is on a mission of exploration. Before the venture even starts, they face an obstacle of unknown nature. And the preferred course of action is to face it head on. Instant table-setting echoing the title sequence.

Star Trek TOS: The Paradise Syndrome

The open gets me. Yeah Kirk takes a big tumble, but then turns into the clumsiest man ever, slapping every button in sight.

This man gets his ass handed to him for a living and is always standing up straight right after! And this is what takes him out!?!?

What in the Jaguar did The Police do to the album art
