I have to say that last season stunk. Too much "Alternity". I fear that the Trek-verse has a BIG emergency button marked "In Case of Lack of Ideas: Time Travel". If ST:E had been cancelled at the end of LAST season, I wouldn't have complained.
One thing bothered me from the start: cabability inflation. This was supposed to be a PREQUIL. The first time they used the transporter, it was "dangerous", now it's less dangerous than it was in "classic" ST. (A shame. B&B could have addressed why the transport wasn't used as a weapon, viz., why not use it to deliver photon torpedoes if not inside your opponent's shields (which humans don't have), then to just outside his/her shields but from a different angle?) I liked the clunky "obsolete" ideas like the Grabber.
All that said, I was point out that THIS season's fare has been pretty good, er, not bad, er, adequate -- humm, maybe "showed promise"?
There's a write-in campaign, and I wrote-in, but more from nostalgia (I was part of the FIRST one for classic ST, back in college) than anything else.
Occasional factual, grammatical, or spelling variations are inherent to this thesis and should not be considered as defects, as they enhance the individuality and character of this document.
