Wil Wheaton reviews "Encounter at Farpoint" - Zoidberg - 01-03-2007

Here's a taste:
Synopsis: The Enterprise, which is huge and beautiful and majestic, cruises through space toward the camera, and Trekkies who have waited since the 60s to have new Star Trek on television let out a mighty cheer. The camera zooms in on a darkened window, where her captain -- the second bald man to command a starship called Enterprise -- steps out of the shadows and gazes at the stars. In voice over, the captain, Picard, says that they're heading out to "the unexplored mass of the galaxy."
Well worth a read; a lot of fun. Wheaton's got a lot of TNG reviews @ TVSquad.com; be sure to check them out.

He's been doing it for quite awhile.
'Coulda sworn most of those reviews are really old. Those post-dates don't jibe with my memory.

Easily the worst pilot episode of any of the five Trek shows.
But a great review.

"ensign crusher" and "smarmy little git" just seem to go together, like steak and potatoes.

If you really want a good laugh, read his reviews for "Justice" (yeah, that's the one with the half-naked blonde people) and "The Naked Now":

... I quote: "The message cleverly turns control of the Enterprise over to "acting captain Wesley Crusher." Wesley activates the comm, thanks him, and Trekkies all across America scream "WORST. EPISODE. EVER!" (It's possible that alt.wesley.die.die.die was created at this moment, but the historical record is unclear.)"

"it's clean, it's beautiful, it's populated with friendly humanoids . . . and they really like to do the nasty.
"At the drop of a hat," according to Geordi.
"Any hat," Tasha says, knowingly.
