Star Trek jumped the shark along time ago with the Voyager series, and has been off the tracks since then.
I don't know if it's still alive now with the new movie cast, but earlier you could ignore whoever was on television and wait for the movie with an earlier cast to come out - or just hope the next television version would be better.
“Star Trek jumped the shark along time ago with the Voyager series, and has been off the tracks since then.”
It jumped the shark with the “Generations” movie actually (I think Voyager came out after that).
I actually liked the ‘idea’ of Enterprise and they seemed to start doing a much better job during the third season, but that series finale was beyond awful and wrecked that entire series for me :-).
I loved the JJ Abrams Star Trek reboot. Yes, it was short on science, but he saved that franchise from doom by making it more of an action flick. I didn’t care for the second one (he earned enough capital to make something special given the success of the first, but they stupidly chose to retell a story everyone knew ... stupid!). The third one wasn’t bad at all.
