Talk:Encounter at Farpoint

message: The article lists Encounter at Farpoint with production codes 101 and 102. However, I saw the episode on DVD today listed with production code (or "production number", whichever is correct) 721.  Memory Alpha also uses 721. Which is correct? Does it have something to do with the fact that it is a double episode, and the two episodes combined having it's own production number? --Gosub 00:46, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm guessing that Paramount has different episode numbering systems for 2-hour episodes when they are split.  I don't work for the studio, so take it with a pinch of salt.--BigMac1212 02:02, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

message: i reverted the move as this was the only episode outside of the Star Trek Naming Convention. This page should remain here at Encounter at Farpoint (TNG episode) unless the convention is overturned and someone can take the time to move all the episodes Discordance 18:37, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I watched this episode last night (split in two, as described), and the bowl-of-apples incident was different as recorded here.
Here's a copy of the script (of the scene that I saw, at least):

(search for "apple" :))
The interaction took place in Zorn's office, not in the market, and only himself and Riker were present.  The magic apples appeared during a conversation about the creation of Farpoint station.
I have no idea where the original poster got their information from.  Possibly drugs. Dave420 19:08, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's the same way in the 90 minute version on the DVD. The scene happens in Zorn's office. Davhorn 13:47, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I think that whoever put together these articles has done an outstanding job, but I would like to make this comment:
The information under the "Trivia" section of each article is not really trivia. It should be called by its proper name: "Nitpicking."
Please don't get me wrong; I like nitpicking, especially nitpicking Trek. I just don't think it's fair to call it "Trivia."
My two cents.

: That's exactly what trivia is - "matters or things that are very unimportant, inconsequential, or nonessential; trifles; trivialities".  It doesn't mean "interesting stuff you might not know" :) Dave420 19:09, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  It's Not Really "Trivia" 

message: I believe that there are two versions of "Encounter at Farpoint": a single segment lasting 2 hours and 2 1-hour episodes.  If so, are there differences? --BigMac1212 (talk) 02:53, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Never seen it like that. It's definitely two 45-minute episodes. It may also be sold on DVD or something as a single merged story, but I sort of doubt it. 66.215.20.28 (talk) 05:36, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

text: * Your right about seeing the two different versions but there is no difference in them. As one is the episode split into two, and the other is the two episodes joined together to have no gaps in the middle. Hope that helps MattyC3350 (talk) 05:46, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Different versions

message: "In a way, it was also the start of a tradition that the first episode of each new Star Trek series (set in the 24th century) include an appearance by a prominent character from a previous Star Trek series"
As far as i know star trek voyager didnt include any real notable characters aside from a deep space nine frengi, and enterprise didnt include anyway aside from the actor from star trek first contact, should this be changed?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.15.112.169 (talk) 19:47, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If the Ferengi to whom you are referring is Quark, then I submit he qualifies as a prominent character.  Enterprise was set earlier so it wouldn't be included anyway. LarryJeff (talk) 20:13, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  confused 

message: There is a typo in this article.  In the infobox, it mentions "Grappler Zorn".  In the Plot paragraph, it is "Groppler Zorn".  One of these isn't correct.  I don't know which is correct so I didn't make the edit.Xblkx (talk) 02:08, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Dunno why it took two years for someone to respond and fix this, but I've done it.  "Groppler" matches the spelling in the opening credits. -- Heath 50.134.34.221 (talk) 05:12, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
