   The only things I like about this show are the special effects.  It does not   
   feel like Star Trek to me at all.  They are not encountering interesting new   
   aliens. They are not resolving morally challenging situations.  They have done   
   much by way of    
   helping anyone.  There is little or no glimpse of Federation society or even   
   of Star Fleet.  And there is no hint that there is little hint that these are   
   exemplary human beings as one gets from most previous Star Trek series.   
      
   I also find that the series writes a lot of what our society would be   
   concerned about into the series. In previous series, the writers and producers   
   drew pictures of what they imagined future societies would be like.
