Started Star Trek: The Next Generation for the first time last night. How big of an ongoing factor is "Q?" Because I kind of hate him. (kbin.social)

I also had no idea the top portion of the Starship Enterprise could separate like that. That was pretty sweet.

Blaspheme! Will no one rid me of this turbulent critique?

You're supposed to hate Q. The Enterprise crew hates Q. He is an annoying trickster god.

He shows up here and there, I don't know maybe 1.5 times a season or something. I'd need to check exact counts.

He gets better. I remember not being a big fan when I first saw him too.

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

He doesn't really get better, but later on the circumstances that appear around him make Q more palatable.

Honestly, if you started from scratch nothing you see in season one applies.

Just... assume everything reboots after but they keep the lore. It'll be fine.

I saw some people say to start with Season 3, but it felt weird. Should I just skip Season 1?

When I first started TNG I just looked up a list of the best episodes from season 1 and 2 and watched those then went straight to season 3. After I finished the show and loved it, I went back and rewatched seasons 1 and 2 fully. So that's a good option if you just wanna get to the good stuff quicker, and each episode is (for the most part) it's own self contained episode so you don't miss much by skipping parts of seasons 1 and 2 IMO as long as you watch the good episodes.

I'm on break at work so I don't have time to find the list I used but sure you can find something easily with a Google search or someone else here might recommend the best episodes of those seasons.

It surprised me on a recent rewatch how much of season one endured. I was going to use the spoiler tag but I'm not sure how it works and I don't want to wreck someone's experience, so I'll say shortly: episodes 6, 9, 11, 13, and 15 all have something about them that is important to the series as a whole.

If you don't like him, you can just skip his episodes & not miss much.

Does Tapestry count? Because that's a great episode that shouldn't be skipped.
