	Encounter at Farpoint (TNG episode) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was twice the length of a normal episode, and in repeats is often shown in a re-edited two-part form.
		Farpoint Station absorbs and stores the energy of the beam, and a change occurs on the planet and the impressive center complex of Farpoint Station transforms into a living creature, floating up to meet what Picard guesses is its mate.
		This episode would set the foundation for the rest of the first season and the second season to follow, which is basically a dramatic and space operatic tone, along with a stricter following of military protocol.

		The episode features a cameo appearance by a 137-year old Doctor Leonard McCoy, thus starting a tradition that the first episode of each new Star Trek series includes an appearance by a character featured in a previous Trek series (or movie, as was the case with Star Trek: Enterprise).
		Another part of the mission is to investigate the mystery of how the simple people of Deneb IV, the Bandi, were able to construct such an advanced power station at the heart of their primitive city.
		He is debriefed about the encounter with Q, then Picard leaves him on his own to initiate a risky "manual" reconnection of the saucer section which has just arrived.

	Encounter at Farpoint
		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.
		He allows these and future TNG writers to leap over their ignorance of science and, in particular, of cosmology, and to play around with surrealistic imagery and absurdist themes, which means, in their view, having no rules of any kind--no story rules, no rules of plot or character development, no cause and effect.
		Crusher is never convincing as a medical officer, a problem that is made worse, in subsequent episodes, by the increasing emphasis on her physical appearance, including carefully angled shots of her cascade of red hair over the open wounds of her patients.

		While 'Encounter At Farpoint' is only average at best it's important to take into consideration that it is the series opener.
		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.
		On the way to Farpoint, they encounter Q and we are introduced to the plot device where the saucer and weapons sections can be separated.

		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.
		There are standout episodes, sure, but the characters were vitually ALL utterly saccharine in their writing and portrayal (I get a tooth ache just watching the reruns on Spike).
		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.

		The episode was a little weird and not 'action' enough for me. The next episode I watched was 'Ship in a Bottle'.
		TNG was on 2 channels in my area though, and one was two seasons ahead of the other.
		Encounter at Farpoint was the first on I watched.

		However, this was four years after Data's comment about being the class of '78, so if the year was '00 in 'Encounter at Farpoint', it would be '04 in 'Cause and Effect', but the year couldn't be '04 since it was between 2358 and 2400.
		We know Voyager takes place shortly after TNG because the stardate of the last episode of TNG is 47988, and the first season of Voyager's stardates are in the 48000s.
		In the episode 'The 37s', Janeway said the year is 2371, and in 'Future's End', someone said the Voyager crew was from 2372.

		It was nice to see Picard in the pilot episode of DS9, just as it had been nice to see McCoy in Encounter at Farpoint.
		After all, it was the pilot of DS9 and not an episode of TNG.
		Anyone who wanted the TNG crew to be in the pilot for DS9 is just begging for more of a now dead crew.

	Q
		First seen on Stardate 41153.7 in the TNG episode "Encounter at Farpoint", the Q have presented themselves before humans three of their kind, and of the three, one in particular has taken an especial liking towards Federation Captains and "interesting" humans.
		In fact, he conveniently used the Farpoint station incident as a test to gauge the Enterprise crew's reaction and method of solution in a foreign circumstance.
		In the end, Picard solved the Farpoint puzzle thrown to him by Q, and did not falter as Q had predicted.

	Scifispace.com's Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Horror Forums > Stardates
		For example, the first episode of TNG "Encounter at Farpoint" had an initial stardate of 41153.7--if the revised stardate system began on January 1, 2323--that would place that date in "Encounter at Farpoint" on February 25, 2364.
		For example, the TNG first season episode "Symbiosis"--featuring Tasha Yar--was filmed after the episode "Skin of Evil" in which the character was killed (there's a scene in "Symbiosis" in which Denise Crosby waves goodbye to the camera in the background before a door closes).
		There are times when two episodes are filmed almost simultaneously and the one that finishes first may air first, so it's easier not to feature a stardate, or put down "Captain's log, supplemental".
