I had mixed feelings about this episode when the series started. I liked it, but I was hoping for a little more. Looking back now after an incredibly successfull series, Farpoint doesn't seem so bad any more. It's kind of amusing for you see everything in it's genesis. |

The thing with a start of a season of anything like star trek is the start has got to be good, better than the avergae episode but not so good you can't top it later on with two parters and the finale. |

I think it was a good start, especially for that era. |

It had its good point and its bad. I actually had a look at All Things to compare it to the pilot. Everything was right except two things. Over all, I'd give it a 6, it was pretty cheesie. |

Yeah, nice sense of equilibrium really now if only other Trek shows could have had such a nice sense of equilibrium instead of such a quick cop-out. :rolleyes:

Sorry. TNG was stunning, but the first season was just... BLAGH! The high point of "Encounter" was the fact that it foreshadowed "All Good Things..." so well. And the McCoy scene was great. Not D.C. Fontana's best writing, though. The other great thing about it was how it avoided any significant battles. Every latter-day show (*coughenterprisecough*) seems to have a staff that goes by the rule, "If there ain't shooting, they ain't viewing," when in fact (as Gene first formulated and proved) the opposite is true. Maybe one day we can return to the high days of transition between Gene's Rules and the New Order, when we seemed to have hit the Golden Mean. Maybe, just maybe, Manny Coto can take us there. Or maybe the coming years are just going to be after after :banghead:.

At the convention in London I went to this weekend, Richard Arnold said that he heard Rick Berman say once that he wanted to try and take Star trek away from GR's vision of the future, and that it was one of the hardest things he had to listen to. |

I believe that Encounter At Farpoint was co-written by D.C. and Gene, wasn't it? |
