Once again a trek series falls victim to the three greatest trek failings:
1. Poor direction (the actors aren't necessarily bad but some seens should have been done in another take, poor camera placement, poor direction as a whole)
2. Poor editing (some things were underdramatized, some parts seemed to be missing, and some parts just didn't belong there)
3. Ratings grabbing. (hey we need lots of cursing, half naked females, and some really pointless special effects :P )
All in all though I would say this has the best pottential of all the series. I like the opening credits, I generall don't like when they choose a theme song instead of instrumental, but this one really fits, and adds to the gritty, low tech feel. (the opening credits I think really is an excellent way to show how far we've come and what were up against, unlike other shows, which pretty much just show off the ship)
Excellent crew diversity, though some aren't entirely believable. Excellent captain, finally someone who isn't perfect
Like was said earlier, to much time travel!!
I must say I don't like the ship. Too high tech. Like the outside, looks cool, but again too high tech. The inside: Wide corridors (don't like it, just an opinion, these are better than the standard trek) and everything else looked excellent. Didn't like the use of transporter, this is a big deal, not something to be taken lightly, especially for spirituall beings, brings up a whole can of worms. Would have been great to give its own entire episode.
I'm still gonna watch though. Sorry for the long rant.
