When Captain Picard sets off on the D’s maiden voyage, his mission to open trade negotiations with the Bandi gets interrupted by the Q. But after Commander Riker realizes that Farpoint Station is too good to be true, Counselor Troi breaks out the thesaurus to help solve the crew’s first space mystery. Who is not at all prepared for this assignment? Which movie stills were on the mood board for the post-atomic horror? What exactly is wrong with the Lego D model? It’s the episode that hasn’t exactly figured things out yet.

When we’ve reached the end of an era and only three packages remain, their contribution to the show’s well-documented problems makes it clear it’s time to turn off auto-renew. But after a bunch of FoD questions elicit some new ideas for the show, it seems we’re ready for 10 more years of indigestion and loose stool. Which type of museum would Ben and Adam open? What do wormhole aliens not care about at all? Who does Starfleet need to get into a uniform? It’s the episode that paints a Godfather-like scene.

When Greatest Gen’s biggest fan returns for an anniversary interview, everyone can agree that a rewatch is just part of loving Star Trek. But after 10 years of growth and change, Star Trek is a place still stands and the overarching goal remains the same. How is this interregnum like a family Mexican restaurant birthday song? What is Cyrus sorry-not-sorry for? Which employee hasn’t lost their fastball? It’s the episode that gives you thoughtful Ben and Adam.
