We take a look at The Next Generation’s pilot, “Encounter at Farpoint”. Watched by over 30 million (!) people in 1987, this episode introduces the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D. Led by Captain Jean-Luc Picard, the officers and crew of the Enterprise embark on their first mission by heading to the mysterious Farpoint Station.
We are introduced to the crew. We learn about the technical marvel that is the Enterprise-D. We learn that videotape is still the best way to review things in the 24th century. We see our old friends in unexpected positions, and we remain in awe of just how young everybody looks!
“Encounter at Farpoint” is the starting point for this series (and this podcast). The Next Generation would continue on for seven seasons and almost 180 episodes, and it all started with a humble mission to investigate a space station.
