The first season was marked by a "revolving door" of writers, with Gerrold and Fontana quitting after disputes with Roddenberry.<5>
Mark Bourne of The DVD Journal wrote of season one: "A typical episode relied on trite plot points, clumsy allegories, dry and stilted dialogue, or characterization that was taking too long to feel relaxed and natural."<6>
Other targets of criticism include poor special effects and plots being resolved by the deus ex machina of Wesley Crusher saving the ship.<7><8>
Amazing that it was renewed. I suppose the Trekies kept the ratings up despite its obvious shortcomings.
