[quote Zoidberg](anyone remember how bad the TNG pilot episode was?) but still.
Just the Pilot!?!?
How about most of the first season?
Just watched the first 15 episodes over the last 3 weeks.
Thank the lords the country was starved for Trek, because they stunk. I can't blame the new writers for all the bad first season episodes because Paramount insisted that they rewrite five TOS episodes and use them in TNG before bankrolling the project.
Besides the first scripts, the pacing was really bad, the new characters were ill-conceived, anyone remember the first Ferengi encounter, man that was a bad episode.
The music score was good, but did we really need the swelling orchestral score, the stretching of the Enterprise every time it went in to warp? Never mind the "hurtling through stars" effect which got really old after the first couple of times.
Data grinning like an idiot the first season was funny, and crewman that literally disappeared was very cool. First season felt claustrophobic due to the lack of money meant many of the sets weren't built till the second, or third season.
Glad I continued to watch though, yes, I was Trek starved!
