I'm seven episodes in (assuming Encounter of Farpoint counts as two episodes).

- The Enterprise has a serious problem maintaining quarantine.

Yup, and this is not a problem that the Federation is going to solve any time soon. Nor is any other faction in the Trek universe, for that matter.

- Tasha Yar is more aggressive than Worf! I'm guessing this character doesn't last too long because it's the only main character I couldn't name beforehand.

Picture someone desperately trying not to blurt out spoilers. That's me right now.

- Councillor Troi seems like she's just there to state the obvious. From my limited knowledge of the show I never knew there was a psychic on board the Enterprise.

Yeah, to be honest I didn't really like her character for most of the show. There are some good moments later on but mostly it seems she's just there as a plot device.

- "Captain's Log: Supplemental. We are now at the 22-minute mark, so I'm going to explain the situation for any viewers that just flipped to this channel."
