A few of my very favorite episodes of Star Trek ever are in season 1, though. I wouldn’t skip it entirely!
- s01e11 Haven, because I love Lwaxana when she’s being mischievous
- s01e13 Datalore, for Spiner in his early glory
- s01e18 Home Soil, for a decent "murder mystery"
- s01e22 Symbiosis, seriously one of the best episodes of the whole show, a lesson on why the Prime Directive is important, plenty of Crusher vs Picard moral discussions, and an attempt at a sympathetic view on drug addiction (though a dated one now)

Nah, start from the beginning. When I introduced my partner to star trek, she loved the first TNG seasons, despite recognizing that the latter are better

The first episode also introduces every character.
It would be a miss for new watchers to skip it, even if some of you don’t like the episode.
The dish separation was what made me understand there was a lot more to Star Trek then I first thought and made me continue watching, even if it didn’t happen again.
