TNG: Encounter at Farpoint (S1, E1)

Your Away Team flashes foward to the future of the 24th Century and joins Jean-Luc Picard and crew in the 2-hour series premiere of Star Trek: The Next Generation. The show may have a ways to go (they do have a long journey ahead of them, and many of their missions will be far more interesting…) but there’s plenty to like here, and the future is looking bright here on The Holodeck is Broken.

Also, during our commercial break, Captain Lora and First Officer Mac celebrate ten years of marriage by renewing their vows in a traditional—not informal, and there is a difference—Klingon ceremony, because of course they did.

Check out the new book from Party Now, Apocalypse Later Industries: If Any Of These Stories Goes Over 1000 Words, This Entire Book Will Explode. Also The Once and Future Orson Welles will be coming soon, just in time for Christmas, methinks.
