... some of the Best Trek ever? That entire Xindi season arc was something to be endured, and I felt little but relief when it finally ended. Desperate for better ratings, they took all of the joy and wonder of exploration on display in seasons one and two and pissed it away on a dark, soulless slog. Come to think of it, it was really a preview of the shit NuTrek that talentless hack Alex Kurtzman has inflicted on ST fans ever since.

Of course, as always, YMMV
