Roddenberry's Red-Headed Stepchild
15 May 2001
Enh. Not a great start for the series. Not terrible either. Some of the special effects are okay, although Q's forcefield is a deliberate rip-off of the Tholian Web from the Original Series. And the character of Q is reminiscent of Trelane, the Squire of Gothos. All the characters are caricatures of their later selves. Like Picard, who is mean to children and shouts at his enemies. Doesn't bode well for the future, especially with Roddenberry's and Fontana's monikers attached to the final product.

The best scene happens to be the one where DeForest Kelley reprises his role of McCoy and talks with Data, the new series' Mr. Spock.
