From Dark Horizons

"Scribes Orci & Kurtzman continue their so far unblemished streak of mediocre action vehicle scripts which, much like their work on "M:I-3," "The Island" and "The Legend of Zorro," delivers forgettable nonsense for a storyline and stock TV characterisations to fill out the empty gaps between action scenes..."

They were staff writers on Alias, for crying out loud. Did anybody expect different?

Yeah, that's pretty much bang on account of events afaic.

Liked it, think it'll get on my tits when I've seen it more.

I will see it on release as the effing sound was so loud it made understanding it all a bit of a chore.

To be directed by JJ, too, innit?

Kirk: "Spock! You're evil!"
Spock: "Yes, but you can trust me."
Kirk: "Yes. It seems I can."
Spock: "But you shouldn't! Hahaha!"
Kirk: "Dammit. I knew I shouldn't have trusted you."
Spock: "Ah, but you should have. I was only pretending."
Kirk: "Oh, I seeee..."

Depends on whether they left or joined around season 3.

Left about the end of, seemingly.

I don't buy the whole "quality changed at X point" hokum. Far as I'm concerned, the series was born in mid air doing a backflip above the bloody shark. That's why I love it.
