Star Trek: The Next Generation - Season 1
Set decades after Captain Kirk's five-year mission, a new generation of Starfleet officers set off in a new Enterprise. Instead of Capt. James Kirk, a less volatile and more mature Capt. Jean-Luc Picard heads the crew of various humans and alien creatures in their adventures in space -- the final frontier.

Where the original Star Trek was blatantly interventionist, The Next Generation is much more laissez-faire.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Like a lot of Part Ones, this first season did a lot of unglamorous grunt work for the benefit of later entries.

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.

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.

Despite the season's high points, there are some real stinkers here.

It's hard to say if it's entertaining or entertainingly bad, but either way it IS entertaining.
