Trekkies: if you see this post your first experience with Star Trek.

I was talking to my friend Cat about the latest episode of Red Dwarf, and she was like "you should watch Star Trek, it's on BBC2 at 6pm". My first episode was "Imaginary Friend", a solid Standard TNG Episode, and I was hooked
Screenshot from "Imaginary Friend" in which Troi smiles at Guinan and a little girl smiles up at Troi
