One thing I've noticed, did the producers give more of an idea of a ship at work than in previous seasons? Watching Spock's Brain and The Savage Curtain for example, there seems to be more emphasis on the actions of the bridge crew and what they do in more mundane tasks. Little things like bringing up data on planets to visit for example, you get the impression that they're doing something more than just saying "Beam me down."
Also, in what other season do you get to see Lincoln kicking Kahless' arse
