I can only give it 4 stars because there will never be a Star Trek that equals the magic of the original series. I was 8 years old in 1966 when the original began it's 3 year run in prime time television. I am millions of others across America sat mesmerized in front of our televisions as we watched it. With that said, I do commend Anson Mount for delivering a outstanding job of emulating the quirks of Captain James Tiberius Kirk in the original series. The facial expressions, the manner of speaking, and more of Captain Kirk is very recognizable in Anson Mount performance. So far I have only watched episode 1 of season 1 but I will watch another episode and probably all of them. It's worth watching.
