ST:TNG:01 - "Encounter At Farpoint Part I" (Stardate: 41153.7) - this is the beginning part of the 2 part pilot episode that will launch the successful Star Trek: The Next Generation TV series and 4 succeeding feature films (to date). It introduces us to the crew of the Enterprise-D commanded under Captain Jean-Luc Picard (played by the great Patrick Stewart) as a captain so far removed from the likes of Captain Kirk, we get to see another type of captain in action. We are also delighted to see John de Lancie as one of Star Trek's best villains - Q in his first of many appearances ("temper temper, mon capitan"!). And lookout for a guest star appearance by a "Southern Doctor"!
