The Hood Doesn’t Get Bangers (TNG S1E1-2)

About this episode

The episode discusses Captain Picard's maiden voyage and the crew's first space mystery involving the Q and Farpoint Station.

When Captain Picard sets off on the D’s maiden voyage, his mission to open trade negotiations with the Bandi gets interrupted by the Q. But after Commander Riker realizes that Farpoint Station is too good to be true, Counselor Troi breaks out the thesaurus to help solve the crew’s first space mystery. Who is not at all prepared for this assignment? Which movie stills were on the mood board for the post-atomic horror? What exactly is wrong with the Lego D model? It’s the episode that hasn’t exactly figured things out yet. Support the production of our shows Members get benefits including bonus episodes and an ad-free experience Sign up for our mailing list!
