That's what they all say!
Have you ever given up on a Trek series? If so, what was the last straw for you?

Interesting thread. I thought I was the only one who gave up on some shows.
Voyager: just never resonated with me, so never watched more than a handful of episodes , but I thought Tim Russ played a Vulcan very well.
DS9: seemed like a poor cousin of Babylon 5, couldn’t watch it.
Enterprise: I wanted so to like the show as the actors were charismatic , and Jolene blalock also played a Vulcan very well. But the writing was horrible.
None of the jar jar movies worked for me and Kurtzman trek isn’t made for me. I’m sure they’re fine, but not for me.

I gave up on Voyager a few episodes into season six, when I realised I’d given it moooore than enough opportunity and, no, it wasn’t going to get any better. I adored Farscape (and still do) and I think that show ruined Trek for me at that point. It was just everything that Voyager wasn’t.
I also gave up on Enterprise sometime around season three. I’d struggled with it up until then. I just never particularly warmed to the cast or the writing and Trek was feeling so very tired at that point. The attempt to arc up the third season was a step in the right direction but just too late for me, I’d checked out.
I’ve yet to watch SNW season three and have absolutely no enthusiasm or impetus to do so, so I guess I’ve pretty much given up on that. The shark jump point for me was really the musical episode in season two (which I’d been on the fence about until that). Whereas many loved it, for me it underscored how gimmicky and vacuous the show actually is. The character arcs were all basically “who fancies who”…and I realised at that moment I was kind of done. I’ll probably watch it eventually out of completion, but I’d rather rewatch my favourite old Treks again first.
