It's a shame that Season 5 in the final one, I just finished watching Season 4 this evening and I have to say that this is keeping neck-in-neck with TNG imho in terms of how good it is. I just think it's that good and wish CBS would extend it's success beyond Season 5 is all. I loved Star Trek as a kid watching TOS and still today I enjoy it just as much as I did as a kid.

In case anyone is wondering, Season 5 starts to stream April 4th.

First two episodes are out, so far it's turning out to be really good.
