I first got into the original series when it was on reruns in the kiddie corner of a car dealership. I was excited when Next Gen came out, but got discouraged by a few stupid episodes. A year or two later, some friends convinced me it had caught its stride, and I got into it again. DS9 was great (primarily, I believe, due to the competition with Babylon 5), so I was excited to see Voyager.
It didn't work out. When Enterprise started, I was game, but it again didn't hold my interest, and the occasional summaries I'd see on the net didn't tempt me.
But the new direction that Manny Coto is looking at is promising. Plus:

Manny Coto, a writer (Showtime's Odyssey 5) who joined the series in the third season and was responsible for many of the Xindi storylines, has been promoted to "show runner," in charge of the day-to-day operations and writing, while previous show runner Brannon Braga steps back into a more executive role.
