Blah. At some point I saw the episode 'Conspiracy' (mind control worms, Picard and Riker explode a guy's head with a phaser) either on its original air date or in reruns and enjoyed it. Gave it another chance and the show was noticeably better by then. Still not all that great but tolerable. Eventually it won me over.

The two episodes that dealt with the mind controlling aliens were definitely the high point of the first season. I'm still surprised that the exploding head bit made it past the sensors of the time.
