Still watch it most weeks, tho, but that's because Kelley is eternally hopeful.
That's pretty much where we are too, Pam. Stuart's still convinced it will pickup and I pretty much gave up on it a while back, but still tune in with him on Monday evenings hoping for the best.
I've been trying to avoid making a judgement on it because I know that TNG, DS9 and Voyager were a little ropey to begin with and took time to get into their stride. Also because I have a tendancy to take a while to click with a show. So I really do want to give it a chance.
My main problems with it are just general dullness and lack of originality in the plotlines. I've yet to watch an episode that had any tension in it that I can think of (perhaps barring the season one finale and that didn't go anywhere with the premiere of S2). I really think they need some new energy in the scripts. And someone who knows how to do humour. Most of the so-called comedy moments have left me cold.
The characters I find bland and deeply uninteresting for the most part - it took me until two thirds of the way through S1 to be able to identify them as separate individuals! Although they have grown on me a little. The Doctor is okay but I don't really see what all the fuss has been about him being such a wonderful character. I thought the Doctor in Voyager was much more entertaining and intriguing.
Basically, so far for me, it's been a case of seen it all before and done much better too on previous Trek shows.
Best things? T'Pol. She just makes every scene she's in for me. I think my favourite episode so far has to be the one where she told the story of the Vulcans who got lost on Earth and that's unusual because I hated that kind of Vulcan/Klingon centric episode on other Trek shows. Oh, and the one where they discovered the Vulcans' spying at the monastery. I thought it was kind of cool making the Vulcans the villains for a change.
And, okay, Tripp is kind of fun at times.
And I really, really love the title credits and themes.
Oh and Porthos (sp? - too early in the morning to check it out <g>). That dog should have his own show. Or at least be promoted to Captain.
