Encounter at Farpoint

First aired September 28, 1987

The crew of the Enterprise is put on trial by a mysterious force called "Q" for all the crimes of mankind.

Why is this here?

Like in TOS, production order can vary from aired order, but it seems that they had a much better idea of the intended airing orders than TOS did, so basically watching in airdate order is just fine and avoids more glitches than it causes.
