Finally caught up. I didn't mind it overall, but it was nothing special and it didn't feel quite like Star Trek to me. It was too much space fantasy action adventure, heroes with special powers saving the day against villains, to a background of galactic warfare. I think Star Trek is at its best when it's more geeky, more science and exploration of new worlds, new civilizations, going out into the universe with hope and curiosity.
[Disclaimer - if this is comes across like I think I know what I'm talking about, I want to make it clear that I don't. I'm just trying to get my thoughts down]
