I tried to watch Star Trek: Enterprise but just couldn't get into it and the same went with Star Trek: Deep Space Nine which I despised.


I want to watch this new show coming next year but just can't see spending money on a subscription to watch it.

I've liked the original series, Next Gen, Voyager, and even Enterprise, but I could just never get into DS9.  I know it's the critic's darling among the many series, but it just never resonated with me.  I remember watching the pilot and thinking "Ok, it's Star Trek, but they never go anywhere?"  I know some love it, but not my cup of tea.

I was excited when they announced a new series, until I learned about the subscription bullshit.  Chuck Lorre, producer of The Big Bang Theory, summed it up well in a vanity card on said show:

CBS recently announced that it was bringing back the series Star Trek, but not for the CBS network, for a streaming video on demand system called CBS All Access. In lieu of flowers, CBS has requested that mourners send them six bucks a month.
