It's funny, because I loved Encounter at Farpoint right from the getgo. I would have liked it even as a stand alone TV movie. It's still one of my favorite Star Trek moments, watching that premier in early October 1987.

Maybe he was secretly rooting for Picard to bite the dust!
Listened the commentary for "This Side of Paradise" from the Roddenberry Vault.
TNG: Code of Honor, streamed on Netflix.
My 30th anniversary TNG rewatch continues. I just have to make it past these first few painful seasons, and then it will get better.

"This Side of Paradise"--Originally aired March 2, 1967.
"Apocalypse Rising" - DS9
An entertaining episode that's a bit different, with a set of good performances from Brooks and Auberjonois in particular. Robert O'Reilly hammed it up to the fullest and gave the franchise his immortal delivery of 'Glory to you, and your houuuuuuusssse'.
"For the Uniform" - DS9
This episode still bugs me. The basic story is sound and one of those Sisko stories you just couldn't have done with Picard. I loved the damaged Defiant with the submarine movie style relayed orders. I also like the Les Miserables references but the lesson Sisko draws from them is bizarre - in Les Mis, after his encounter with the Bishop, Valjean is an unfailingly good man who ultimately drives the villain to suicide, which even comes up in the episode. But Sisko's lesson he draws is that he has to turn into a planet killing melomaniac in order to 'allow' Eddington to sacrifice himself for the cause . It never once seems to occur to send more than one federation ship at a time, or capture any Maquis other than Eddington, or indeed any other sensible course of action. Starfleet was completely right - Sisko lost perspective. But the story presents him as 'winning' in the end, it even ends with a joke from Dax.

The Gamesters of Triskelion.
Worse than I remembered. 3rd season quality trash in fact. A forced 'love' story and Kirk shows no remorse whatsover for killing those innocent Thralls. In fact he kisses Shahna goodbye while the freshly killed corpses of his victims are laying on the floor right behind him.

TOS "The Apple" on H&I.
Got rid of cable and just found H&I on broadcast buried deep in the UHF channels. Boy do I miss the DVR.
"Star Trek: Beyond" Finally saw it for the first time. All I can say is that it was better than STID. And just when I thought that the JJPrise couldn't look any worse. Surprise, It can. And whomever designed some of those camera shots of the Enterprise should be beaten senseless with a bag of oranges.
