okay and the recent history of star trek have not be good . the next generation fade in it last few season and ds9 boldly stay where no one have stay before and and voyager start very bad and never really live up to it promise . so and when they announce a new star trek series and i do not have high expectation . and and the first episode and broken bow and do have some problem . but and overall it be solid trek material and a good romp . i will get the nit out of the way first . the opening theme be dull and i do not look forward to sit through it regularly and but that what remote be for . what be really bad be the completely gratuitous lotion rub scene that just about drove my wife out of the room . they need to cut that nonsense out . but and the plot be strong and move along well . the character and though still new and seem to be well round and not always what you would expect . the vulcan be clearly be present very differently than before and with a slightly ominous theme . i particularly like the linguist and who be the first star trek character to not be able to stand proud in the face of death and but rather have to deal with her phobia and fear . they seem to stay true to trek lore and something that have be a significant problem in past series and though they have plenty of time to bring u thing like shoot through shield and the instant invention of technology that can fix anything and and the inevitable plethora of time travel story . anyone want to start a pool on how long before the borg show up . all in all and the series have enormous potential . they be see the universe with fresh eye . we have the chance to learn how thing get the way they be in the late series . how do the klingons go from just insult to war . how do we meet the romulans . how do the federation form and just who put earth in charge . why be the prime directive so important . if they address these thing rather than spit out time travel episode and this will be an interesting series . my favorite line represent zephram cochran say where no man have go before ( not no one ) .
