These first two episodes are proving a really hard watch for me. I'm not a Trekkie in the least bit, so I'm not sure if that's the shortcoming, or if the series really does have a rocky start.

I guess I just remember it a little more interesting than this. However, it's likely I didn't start watching it as a kid until S02 or S03.

The Next Generation is where the phrase “grows a beard” comes from. The phrase means the series starts rough and then gets better after a few season. For TNG that moment is when Riker grows a beard in season 2. From then on the series gets way better.
