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. >Prequels are VERY hard to do, and they weren't up to the task. 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.
