• Wikipedia says the first episode originally aired as a single, 2-hour episode, but later airings break the episode into a two-parter.

    IMDB counts Encounter at Farpoint as a single episode.

    I’m reluctant to disagree with Memory Alpha, but in this case, the original airing had it as a single episode - not a “to be continued”, and I’m going to side with IMDB on this one.

      Fair. Just so long as we can agree that “The Cage” is episode 1 and not relegated to 0 as an “unaired pilot.”

      • Oh, hell yeah. That was TOS, which is still, in my opinion, the best series, and absolutely the best time line.

        I do not like the current time line, where Starfleet has black OPs and performs CIA-level “diplomacy.”
