I'm in the UK, have Netflix so was a bit peeved off, as we say when this was taken away. But having now seem it, I think CBS done us a favour, it's just So Boring, So Dull, 2 bob actors who will only end up on the Com circuit. I can't stand any of the characters, Book is interesting only because he is English and I have seem him in other stuff.
Spock was interesting, I think the episodes when we saw the Original Enterprise, (or was that in another Trek series?) and also Pike was good. So they got rid of them all.
In TOS you had good actors, not great as that's be honest even the Shatner and Leonard they never become Grade A. In TNG you have Patrick Stewart who for me is the best Actor ever to grace the Star Trek universe surrounded by average actors.
DS9 and Voyager, decent actors
Enterprise had Scott Bakula who was already knows worldwide thanks to the very clever and quite Brilliant Quantum Leap, some of the stories were just so clever and some of the stories that were told was some of the best Sci-Fi ever. But other then him, again average actors
Now we have this with very poor actors poor writing with just some cool effects
Picard well you have Patrick Stewart getting jobs for all his old mates who need the work
And now we have another 3 series on the board, a series with Captain Pike and one with a New James T Kirk, set before TOS but after Enterprise, talk about milking a cow to death.
