I just finished watching the season premiere, and it wasn't bad. It wasn't very entertaining but it was a good set-up for the new arc. Let's just hope that the show picks up speed soon. This new direction has a lot of potential, but whether or not it lives up to that potential is the big question mark.
Oh and the new title theme sucks! It's just the old theme but with some extra instruments in the background, which actually manages to make it worse than before. I agree with ign's opinion on the new theme:
Especially that maracas part.
The new theme was supposed to reflect the more serious, urgent tone of the show, yet it's ten times cheerier than the previous theme.
Ugh.

Quote:Added to the music are some new flourishes that would only sound good to Billy Murray's old lounge singer character from Saturday Night Live. I half expected to see someone in a puffy shirt brandishing some maracas to come out and cha-cha to the theme. I screamed at my television screen as the "new" theme droned on in all of its Dolby surround sound glory. I think a little piece of me died as I listened to that music. I found myself wishing for the previous version. Or the original Trek theme on a kazoo, any freaking thing but this.
