    It felt pretty Star Trek to me.

      It’s “Trek” in the same way that (hopefully this reference isn’t too obscure) Stargate Universe was “Stargate.” The show wasn’t bad, especially post-Klingons, but it didn’t feel similar to any of the other series to me. I did enjoy the new time era, but hated all the sappy ‘motivational speeches’ and the way they were filmed that seemed to be a cornerstone of every episode.

        I couldn’t watch anymore after the episode where an alien got really sad and that caused all the dilithium in the universe to explode at the same time. 🙄

          😂

          Yeah, that wasn’t exactly the best conclusion to a story arc, but I thought the journey up to that point was pretty interesting. I wouldn’t put the show anywhere near the same level as DS9 or TNG but it isn’t a total write-off.
