Encounter at Farpoint challenged Star Trek to it's core, deconstructing what it means to live in a utopia, and how humanity has evolved. While Star Trek: The Next Generation was certainly an evolution of Gene Roddenberry's utopian future vision, how much of that was reflected in Encounter at Farpoint, the pilot for the series. And what can we learn looking back at the pilot today. This is Sacred Treks, a series where we treat Star Trek as a sacred text in order to learn lessons for our daily lives.
