Review of Encounter at Farpoint

I was in real fear when I heard that a new Enterprise and crew had been created. I loved the original cast so much I was under the deluded impression that they could not be replaced. As this show continued I realized that this was a brilliant progression and not a replacement. Patrick Stewart's Jean Luc Picard brought us a brand new Captain. It would have been real boring if he had been anyways like Kirk. The rest of the crew were all interesting too, all with carefully researched backgrounds and these would present many an interesting story throughout the series illustrious 7 year run. Early into the ship's first mission the crew encounter Q, an omnipotent being who puts the crew on trial. Interestingly similar to war crimes of Neuremberg in a strange kind of way. They are given a test and proceed. All crew are gradually introduced and they are all uniquely different. When Commander Riker asks for the android Commander Data, we see him escorting a very special Admiral to the shuttle bay. None other than Admiral McCoy from Starfleet in one of Star Trek's most beautiful scenes ever. The test which Q set is eventually passed and the Enterprise warps off for a fantastic 7 year run of adventures
