Yeah, the defector one was outstanding. The sort of Its a Wonderful Life episode where Pike gets the visit from his future self was really good as well, IMO.

Definitely more good than bad, don't get me wrong. Probably my favorite Trek show (I still prefer the two newer reboot movies to anything else in the Trek universe, though -- they're just really good).

Yeah, that was the S1 finale with Pike's future self, the episode that pretty much confirmed for me that we were seeing the best Trek since DS9 aired. It's obviously not perfect and there have been some bad ones in its run, but I think it's about as close to the old Trek as anyone is ever gonna get.

It's also just sort of satisfying to watch new episodic (rather than serialized) television like it used to be.

They have had a couple of episodes that were as good as any other series. Some misses too. I also like the episodic format. I'll keep watching/

The writers are missing a huge opportunity to make Nurse Chapel as the source of the "Vulcan Love Slave" holonovels.
