My reaction
Concept: The concept of the show as a whole is great, although the episode-by-episode concepts only average out to about 2/4.
Story: Rounded down from an average of about 2.1/4.
Characters: Average: about 2.1/4
Dialog: Average: about 2.3/4
Pacing: Average: about 2.7/4
Cinematography: Average: 2.0/4
Special effects/design: Average: about 3.8/4
Acting: Average: about 2.3/4
Music: Average: about 3.9/4
Subjective Rating: 8/10 (Great, ). Although there are only a handful of great episodes this season, and the mediocre episodes are a lot worse than they were in the first season, I just have too much love for the show to give it less than an 8/10. There's a marked downturn in quality after "Tribbles" - I suppose the popularity of that episode encouraged them to not take things as seriously. Sadly, when Star Trek's sense of humor is off, it's way off.
