"Encounter at Farpoint"

The time has come for Star Trek to answer for the crimes of humanity. Let's hope the answer they come up with is a good one, because this is the premiere of the franchise's first reincarnation. How does this new generation stack up against the original? Has the franchise improved or is it forever doomed? Join us as we examine the case, weigh the evidence, and pass sentence.

This is a continuation of our 100 episode list, Venturing Out Into The Universe, in which we're examining how the Star Trek franchise has grown and changed over its history. In this second chunk of episodes from our list, we're going to be looking at The Growing Pains of The Next Generation--that infamous rocky start to what would eventually become Star Trek's Golden Age. This will be a ten episode selection focusing on the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987-88).

Episode discussion starts at 19:56.

Hosted by Jaron Hatch, Aaron Cole, with Jake Barnes & Ellen Lewis.
