Jack's Review
Easily one of the best episodes of the first season, Farpoint is an instant classic. The episode feels a bit like the first issue of a comic book. It's obvious that the characters weren't fleshed out yet and there is a slight odd feel to the editing. Despite these issues, this is still one of my favorites.
