In the first four  episodes I watched last night the effects were wonderful, the concept exciting...and the writing and acting was awful.  As in excruciatingly clumsy and stilted.  We're talking worse than "Jason of Star Command" level of emoting.

So how could they manage to spend so much money on the show without spending the money on a decent writer or director?  Were they too concerned with maintaining Rodenberry's "vision" to notice how awful it sounded?

So consider this a quick review.  This is a series that may be worth watching, if one is willing to keep the sound off and make up one's own dialogue.  I'm just left with amazement that the library apparently has the whole series.

Sounds like they're following the typical Hollywood (cough: Bruckheimer) policy of a 160dB overall budget to script budget ratio.
