    Something similar happened on Voyager too, the original captain filmed one episode and they canned her and re-cast.

    Yeah, Genevieve Bujold. Good actress, but miscast.

    Didn't turn out well for Voyager though. The two seasons were mostly unwatchable, and Mulgrew was pretty bad.

    It was a weird show, for sure. But I didn't like DS9 either.

    @Kirwan You should give DS9 another shot. The first season is a bit rough, but the series is probably the best of the Treks.

    I dipped in and out of it. I never liked the idea of it being on a space station, not much of a "trek" there. That's what disappointed me about the last film, they skipped over the five year mission! That's what I wanted to see.

    They actually do quite a bit of exploring eventually, and get the federation into a lot of trouble.

    One of things that always amused me is the compulsory casting in those Star Trek spinoffs of actors from Benson.

    How's that for "you're old" reference?

    @Tim I really enjoyed it - apart from the shapeshifting sheriff dude and the attendant mysticism

    Quite a bit darker than other Trek series and examines deeper themes. Lots of politics, betrayals plus some kick arse adversaries.

    27 days late but..
    I felt the same about DS9 ...i got the same vibe as you. but a couple of seasons in and it became one of my favorite in the series. It really has a quality big 'arc'

    Trailers for the new TV show are out. Looks like it will be following the fine Trek tradition of taking a couple of seasons to find its feet ...

    Dissapointed that the Klingons look like the STNG version, not the version from the original series

    Some good news:

    Star Trek: Discovery's showrunners fired.

    Better news:

    New shows considered, including a Patrick Stewart series.

    Oh no:

    The potential new shows are said to include: A series set at Starfleet Academy from creators Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz. The duo most recently developed the CW’s reboot of “Dynasty” and previously created shows like “Gossip Girl” and Hulu and Marvel’s “Runaways.”
