I'm starting on TNG now. I'm two episodes in already, and so far I haven't seen anything all that interesting. It's too early to give up the ship yet, though, so I'll give it at least half a season before I decide whether or not to bother continuing with it.

Season 1 minus the pilot with Q is absolute garbage... and even that has its crap moments. Season 2 improves a little but the stories are still so silly and most of the actors haven't really hit their stride yet.

Seriously. You could practically skip everything EXCEPT "The Measure of a Man" and "Q Who" and still feel comfortable with everything after.
