The pilot episode of Star Trek TNG was one of the weirdest, cringiest things I've ever seen (Encounter at Farpoint). It's the episode where Q abducts them and makes them go on 'trial' for humanity and it's so...campy and cheesy. I honestly can't believe they thought that was a good way to start the series. Even as a stand alone episode it would be bad. Thank god it was all uphill from there.
