Let me start by saying that TNG the later years was a work of art, I loved it, but the first 2 and half years was... God awful at times.

The representation of Q's powers was ¿ freezing and flashes of light.

Crosby overacted Yar making her seem loud and excessive, like in that courtroom scene when she attempts to defend the Federation.

Troi's tears and staged girlishness with the dress seemed like sad throw backs to the 60's female characters. So easily overcome, unable to control her response to her empathic senses. I'd almost call it insulting.

No Chief Engineer, you have a bunch of low ranked bridge crew but no Chief Engineer. Worf skulking around the bridge with no specific duty ready to shoot the view-screen like a fool.

The blind pilot, how cute, who got sent on away missions when no other helmsmen after him got sent on away missions and was sent handle issues in Engineering.

Picard seemed gruff to an extreme, distant and discourteous without redemption until Measure of a Man.

The Star Jellies were well...

I know they were just starting out, things to be ironed out and all that but non of the other series had issues like this, so many things that seemed over looked or half done.

And as a whole DS9 did more to develop Worf and what it was to be a Klingon than TNG ever did.

Troi's job of stating the obvious and being intergalactic eye candy was annoying to the extreme.

OMG the frizzy hair! KILL IT!!!

Funny to read this....
Just yesterday I started my big rewatch of all Trek (except for TOS and ENT) with this episode (duh). And I share most of your thoughts. The acting, plot and effects were hilarious (although it WAS 1987)... And after that I watched the beginning of "The naked now" and I laughed out loud. But knowing it'll get better and better will keep me in front of my TV

It only get's better from season 3 onwards. Season 2 is notably less painful... not better, less painful... hey! Maybe that is an improvement!
