Not everything introduced in the TNG pilot stuck.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Star Trek: The Next Generation premiered in 1987 with a feature-length pilot entitled "Encounter at Farpoint," but several of the elements introduced in that episode would prove to be only temporary.

9 Geordi's Visor Causes Him Constant Pain After Dr. Beverly Crusher and Geordi La Forge come on board the Enterprise, La Forge visits Sickbay. Dr. Crusher examines the visor that allows Geordi to see and asks him about it. He tells her that he has been blind all his life and that while the visor allows him to see "much of the EM spectrum," it also causes him constant pain.
6 Data Behaves And Speaks Oddly It's apparent in "Encounter at Farpoint" that the writers and actors had not figured out all characterizations yet. This is most noticeable with Lt.

It feels like Brent Spiner and the writers were still figuring out Data and how he would behave.
3 Deanna Troi Speaks To Commander Riker Telepathically It's established fairly early in "Encounter at Farpoint" that Deanna Troi is half-human and half-Betazoid, and that she has the ability to sense the emotions of others. When Troi and Commander Riker reunite on the Enterprise bridge, Troi speaks to Riker telepathically. Riker does not respond to her, but it's implied that the pair used to communicate this way.
