This season? Uh... do you mean last season, with the Xindi? Unless the new season has started? I didn't notice... Anyway, I saw some of last season's eps and they were okay. Definitely better than the previous years. And the removal of ... who was it? Either Braga or Berman left, anyway, and was replaced... that should help the franchise. But I don't see it making another year, sadly. :(
Of course I like Star Wars more, but Trek is great too...
As for the Jedi, yeah, we knew that not everyone could learn to use the Force so there had to be some kind of explanation for it that accounts for that, and midichlorions do that well. So yes, it makes it more realistic.
Remember, in fantasy and sci-fi realistic doesn't mean 'our world realistic', it means 'realistic by the rules that govern the universe in question'.
