    a season that veered largely in quality from one episode to the next, including a particularly notable nosedive in its back half

    I greatly enjoyed this season (no really, the good ones are so good), but I must agree here about the nose dive.

    That documentary episode is probably my least favorite Star Trek episode of all time.

    And that finale? Too much unwelcome Mass Effect 3 energy in this ending for me to enjoy.

    Ley lines. Hey, they’re real!

    Absolutely my least favorite treknobabble of all time.

      Ley lines. Hey, they’re real!

      Also, the idea that somewhere there is a species that’s just unquestionably, irredeemably evil. Trek has toyed with the notion before (Hi, Armus!), but this feels like a Pandora’s box moment if they stick with it.

      Also also, why did all the scifi of the finale feel like it was streamlined to make space for a Harry Potter wizard battle?
