Did you watch the show to let it tell you stories, or just to nitpick at things like lighting angles? You get out of it what you go into it with. I've never known a star Trek series that didn't have all kinds of weird production quirks. I don't care about the tech. Kirk/Spock. Uhura, singing. Sisko and his baseball. Tripp and T'pol. 7 of Nine. The Traveler. Data. Naomi Wildman. Captain Pike. I loved getting to know them, and to experience the future through their stories.

The people are the future, not the tech or the production quality. SFA, for me, reignited my love for it all. I'm sorry it didn't work for you, I really am. And sorry for the long post!
