For a show that is ostensibly a sci-fi series it absolutely wallows in cheesy sentimentality & clumsy melodrama. It's good at presenting ideas like A human marrying an A.I. but doesn't actually explore the issue in the way old school Star Trek might've (i.e. with good writing and philosophical inquiry). It also just lifts concepts like the Prime Directive from ST without modifying it or expanding on it. It's a controversial idea to withhold technology from others who could benefit from it. Why not actually explore that?

Why did they call this "New Horizons" when it has based so much content this season on things and characters that occurred in the first two seasons? I'd be surprised if this got picked up for a fourth season.
