The story of the Bandi outpost at Farpoint and its imprisonment of the interstellar jellyfish is fitfully told in a long stretch over two episodes and is not, in itself, a terribly interesting tale.

Their test is Farpoint and if they fail to uncover the dark secret of the station, then well...they'll assumingly receive a dreadful fate.
The first part of Encounter at Farpoint is pretty good, the characters are nicely introduced and mostly well-played by the cast.
When the secret of Farpoint is revealed (which you'll probably figure out before the cast does), all the conjecture and facts are messily spouted in one of those silly coversations where each character continues the sentence after the previous speaker has finished.

Well, Farpoint was made in a time before CGI effects had been perfected (just remember the crude effects of "The Last Starfighter", made only three years before the TNG pilot) and were inexpensive, and the series was evolving.
But in the case of TNG "Encounter at Farpoint I and II", I think that de Lancie took the cake with his massive theatric presence.
Encounter at Farpoint is still my favourite pilot as it shows Roddenberry's Trek in its purist form.

There are bumps: originally shot as a 90-minute special, "Encounter" had to be padded a bit (ergo the ship separation scene) to make it two hours.

Though the show falls flat where it is concerned with the Farpoint station, the concept of Q is well developed; an omnipotent, all-powerful being appears and tells the humans they can come this far and no farther.
