agreed, the premise was fine, trek has done race swapping episodes like that before. SNW just did it way too campy, in a season already filled with lots of camp. 3-4 campy episodes in a 26 episode season is a lot different than 3-4 campy episodes in a 10 episode season.

It also didn’t help that the main story arc for s3 was a terrible trek story. Evil space demons. again, perhaps acceptable as a standalone episode here or there but when half of your episodes are built around something like that you aren’t writing sci-fi anymore.
