Synopsis:
The two-hour pilot of The Next Generation holds up well after all these years and many, many subsequent episodes and four feature films. Gene Roddenberry's second go-round with Star Trek on television boldly goes where no other soul had gone, overcoming Trekker skepticism at the time about new characters and a new cast. After introducing Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) and the rest of the crew, the script by Roddenberry and former Star Trek story editor Dorothy Fontana plunges them into a familiar Trek confrontation with a superior power, Q (John De Lancie), in a weirdly archaic setting drawn from Earth history (in this case, the bloody kangaroo courts of Robespierre's day). Declaring mankind barbarous and unworthy of existence, Q gives Picard 24 hours to prove humans are not just a "grievously savage race." The story is punctuated with various delights, particularly first meetings between the characters (watch for Riker's houndish introduction to Dr. Crusher) and a surprise cameo from a Trek icon. There are bumps: originally shot as a 90-minute special, "Encounter" had to be padded a bit (ergo the ship separation scene) to make it two hours.
From the Back Cover
Beam aboard the "Galaxy Class" Starship Enterprisefor the classic, feature-length premiere episode of the acclaimed TV series, Star Trek: The Next Generation.
While on a peacekeeping mission to the Farpoint station, the Enterprise is overtaken by a godlike adversary, "Q," who places the crew on trial for crimes perpetrated by mankind.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) has just 24 hours to convince Q that humans are not a "grievously savage race." If Picard fails, he and his crew must face Q's sentence: death.
A thrilling first adventure in space for Star Trek: the Next Generation.
