Honestly, there aren’t enough good actors on the show. Picardo, Mulgrew, Phillips, and later Ryan carried the show… everyone else was kind of just… there. Couple that with very hit and miss writing and it’s easy to see why it doesn’t live up to the previous shows… but it was still a pretty good show when they weren’t going action heavy. Or throwing weird salamander sex in there.
