The way I understand it the time travel crap was dropped in after the
wrod came down that the series was not going to be back next season so
the time travel thing was a plot device so they could work in their
favorite plotlines they had planed for later seasons.

They made a lot of compromises and did some outlandish so they could
try to work in everything they wanted in the time allowed. It sucked.

If they'd had the writers they ended the series with instead of the
lackluster team they start the series with they may have been off to a
more solid start. The first couple seasons drove off a lot of people
with the high suck factor of it all.

No, they weren't and they can't blame it on the material or setting,
either. They had a rich fabric of raw material to draw from and they
coudl have really made something special that could have re-ignited
the Star Trek franchise. Instead we got poo. On a stick.
