Concept: 3/4 (Good)
Story: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: 1/4 (Bad)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Acting: 3/4 (Good). Hands down the best-acted first season of a Star Trek spin-off series. (So far - I haven't seen Enterprise yet.) That's not exactly an impressive feat, but still. Unexpected. It's a damn shame the writers don't give Mulgrew anything to work with.
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, 3/4). So damn refreshing. For the first time since the seventies (or the sixties if you don't count the animated series), Star Trek is about what the famous theme song monologue says it's about - which basically boils down to science fiction adventures.  The writing might not actually be any better than Deep Space Nine, but when you're an adventure show, you can get away with a lot more.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.2/4 (Okay)
