I've been around Star Trek long enough to know that every new iteration gets a lot of hate. Starfleet Academy is no different, unfortunately.
For me, so far I've enjoyed it ... mostly. I did not care for episodes 3 and 4, 1 and 2 were good, but as a huge fan of DS9, I loved episode 5. I can tell that Tawny Newsome co-wrote it.
There were other bits to it too, but I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't watched it. (The DS9 bit is not a spoiler.)
