Honestly I don't think it was any of those, really. Not that I'm dismissing them, but I don't think they were the central issue.

It was just cheap action fantasy disguised as Star Trek, without really the spirit of Trek. It was individualistic and character-centric, as opposed to the classic TNG vibe of a family and an adventure that just happens on you while you're trying to just do peaceful exploration.

That's what SNW works so well, it abides by the traditional formula.
