The cast was top notch! I love the way they took this, and I hope they do something more with these characters, because there is so, so much potential here. It was great to see The Doctor, Reno, Admiral Vance, etc. returning and then you factor in the kids themselves, they're just...so damn good!
Sadly a lot of haters because of the first gay Klingon. People will literally join fan groups on Facebook just to blast their hate because they've got nothing better to do with their lives.
My second favorite Star Trek show would be Voyager because of Kate, Jeri, Robert although I haven't seen a lot of episodes.
