I love star trek and wanted to like this for so much.

I followed it for a few seasons when everyone of my friends and forums were already criticizing it. But then it got to be too much and even I couldn't stand it anymore.

Such a pitty but this is not the trek I came to love. I hope they have success but I really can't stand the writing and am out off by some acting I won't name.

@Nadalofsoccer They wasted Jason Isaacs. I was fascinated by his character and if his arc as a Terran secretly manipulating the spore drive project to get back home had lasted seasons, maybe even to the point of redemption and wanting to stay…I would still be watching. They could even have still let Michael be a Mary Sue. Maybe even have her find out at some point.

The show basically committed suicide by killing off Jason Isaacs character.

It (will have) lasted four seasons without him. I liked his character and wish they hadn't killed him off, but five seasons is a decent run for a show, and I don't think it's obvious that it would have lasted longer if he had remained.

I mean it committed suicide as a show worth watching. Thankfully it's over now.
