I was pretty skeptical when I first heard that the new Star Trek series before Kirk, Spock would play & pill. Especially the problems that one is the history of the other 4 series not mess up the script writers certainly not be easy. That was earlier a problem. If I so because the "alleged" first encounter with the Ferengi TNG crew and Trill think, which were then carried out in DS9 absurdity ... But enough of that. Broken Bow is a great introduction to the new series and not comparable to the (in my opinion) disastrous launch of DS9 and TnG. Broken Bow has really everything you need for a good double episode and it is interesting to see how the crew rumschlägt with new technology, which is a known for 30 years. Warp speed 5, is beamed only "dead" material, torpedoes are still being tested, shields, there is not. Every Star Trek fan I can only recommend the two-part episode, because it shows how it all began. All others who like science fiction, but Star Trek is not know (are there any?) Can also access, because it all starts again at 0.
