EPISODE
SEASON
We recount an exciting series about the story of a crew of different humans and exotic creatures embarking on their adventures in the boundless space after Captain Kirk's five years. The Foundation is making its first encounters with the Ferringhi Race, and Wesley Krakser meets a small enemy according to our standards on a strange planet. There is a great dispersion during two conflicting races that advance to the membership of the Union, and the Foundation can pick up a conscious entity.

The new cast is fine ([Patrick] Stewart is a very interesting actor) and the story, although not very deep, inspired or mind-melding, has a nice payoff. But getting there takes much too long.October 02, 2017
Despite the season's high points, there are some real stinkers here.October 02, 2017
The show has aged well, especially with this new restoration driving the visuals and bringing new details to life (more on that below). And even some of the bad episodes have their charm.October 03, 2017
Like a lot of Part Ones, this first season did a lot of unglamorous grunt work for the benefit of later entries.October 02, 2017
But, for all of its silliness, the first season succeeded where it needed to: It introduced viewers to the characters who would carry the torch through six more seasons, the new crew of the Starship Enterprise.October 02, 2017
True Trekkies will no doubt discern profound optimism in the fact that Mr. Roddenberry still insists on envisioning a 24th century. The rest of us can only hope that things get a little livelier in coming weeks.October 02, 2017
Where the original Star Trek was blatantly interventionist, The Next Generation is much more laissez-faire.October 02, 2017
Those of us who have been less diligent in our viewing habits, though, may see the spinoff as energetically entertaining sci-fi stuff, an alternately spirited and silly piece.October 02, 2017
It's hard to say if it's entertaining or entertainingly bad, but either way it IS entertaining.October 02, 2017
Star Trek aims to fill the eye and engage the mind; it has a long way to boldly go at both. But the new beginning is not without its rejuvenating properties, and there's nothing else on the air quite like it.
