No the first one was that hideous farpoint thing with alien that was being oppressed into being a space station, and Q putting humanity on trial which brought out the worst of picard’s federation moralising.
I'm muddling the two then. They meet the Borg when Picard tells Q they're ready for anything, and Q goes "you reckon?" I thought that was Encounter At Farpoint, but now you mention it I remember the trial stuff.
It's a while since I watched it (though I do have it on Laserdisc...)
TNG takes a bit to settle in, though there are some early classics in the first few seasons. S4 onwards it gets good.
TOS on the other hand goes downhill after the first season (and certainly the third).
DS9, from when the Jem'Hadar are introduced gets good. A bit meh about the last two, certainly the last. Should have just gone all out with the one story the whole series and a much bigger ending, though I get the feeling they were hoping for a movie spin off.
VOY is consistently meh all along and some stinkers. Though it's averagely watchable. The Fair Haven stuff... good god, no! Worse than Vic Fontaine in repeated annoyance and pointlessness. Has a candidate for all time worst ever Trek episode as well, at least to me, 11:59. Zero to do with Star Trek and is at best a boring daytime telly snoozefest.
ENT - Only pre-JJ series I've not been interested in buying on DVD/Blu Ray and not re-watched. It got some good ones later on and had potential, but I just wish it had never tried to fit in as a prequel. It restricted it and didn't fit anyway. Maybe it will grow on me with a re-watch.

One word: Threshold.

Objection. The Species 8472 plotline was great.
Though it's completely offset by Naomi Wildman and the rest of the rescued families they took on board. That was bilge.
Aside, have you seen Naomi Wildman these days? She's a bit, erm, well...

A fair point. It's ridiculous, though not unbearably watchable.

Briefly, then they turned them into shape shifters that can look human and all made friends. Star Trek always had a problem with truly nasty aliens, especially non humanoid. Though can understand they were a problem being worse than the Borg which diminished the Borg.
And yeah, Naomi now! 
Good point, well made. Was fun while it lasted though.
Dunno if anyone's pointed this out yet but I've just been informed the Ash character is actually Clem Fandango!

Toast would make a hell of a Star Trek captain, eh?

I always thought the crystalline entity was an opportunity missed. Had it attacked earth they could have got at least half a series out of it.

Wasn't expecting that..!
(Just watched today's episode; 12, I think?)
Ep12, yes.
And, holy shit!
Yep, I've enjoyed the whole series without over analysing and sucking the fun out of it but ep12 was superb.
I said it earlier, but this is shaping up to be this decade's BSG.
Also, wasn't it so so pretty in places? The outer shots of the [spoiler avoidance] big spaceship was stunning.
And I dropped my Kobayashi Porcelain mug.
That was a cracking episode.

Well played.
Original and the latest I like, the rest meh.
Nice twist 
Nice to be kicking out the black and white morality, lots of internal conflict going on now
