 & 102: '''Encounter at Farpoint''' ''[[1987]] [[September 28]]''
+Being the first episode of the series, and really relatively early in all of Star Trek considering how much came after, I won't nitpick about everything that seems a bit off 26 years later. But one thing that really stuck me as weird was when Counselor Troi said something like &quot;I'm only half Betazoid. My father was a Starfleet officer.&quot; Those are totally unrelated things, unless we're either supposed to assume that every Starfleet officer is human (clearly not, though a disproportionately large amount) or male Betazoids are prevented from serving in Starfleet.

 : '''The Naked Now''' ''[[1987]] [[October 5]]''
+The Good: It's an OK idea to take a concept from the old series and bring it back, to see how it plays out differently.
+The Bad: Given that this is only the second episode, the viewer isn't supposed to be very familiar with these characters yet. So seeing how they act when out of character doesn't mean much.
+The Ugly: Seriously, who thought it was a good idea for the first episode after the pilot to have the crew acting stupid and sex-crazy? INCLUDING THE MACHINE!? It's a minor miracle that the Yar-Data hookup got put to dramatic use in The Measure of a Man next season.
