"What you leave behind"? A very appropriate tittle given how I'm leaving behind my heart in DS9. I didn't think I will love it as much or even more than TNG but here we are. I guess lengthy stories and seasons' long character development will have such an effect. I just wish that we were able to see these characters again in movies but alas.
A fantastic journey comes to its proper close- one that we never got to see with the original series due to cancellation. The gap that existed between TOS and TMP was thoroughly mended by these 11 episodes and especially by this finale. I would recommend fans watch this series after TOS, so TMP's changes doesn't seem so abrupt.
Of all the Star Trek series, this one I have been made the most reluctant to watch, especially since I am jumping from TNG. But I gotta say, it is a charming look into the early days of Starfleet when the warp is barely 5, the humans haven't established themselves in the galaxy and the universal translator doesn't work sometimes. I have missed hearing alien languages in TNG and first contacts are always delightful.
Loved it!! Didn't stop smiling almost the entire time. Faithful adaptation, delightful casting, perfect scores and visuals. Even if you haven't read the book, and you should, you will like the show. Cheers to all the people that put all this hard work! And to Gaiman and Pratchett!
Since I am the first comment, I will say that this show is a little sci-fi gem that is worth watching. I found it after watching the movie during my sci-fi marathon and I was amazed. I love dynamics between humans and alien species, and this was very well done.
