Too much crying...and group hugs...

Is that what people don't like about it? I didn't even notice it that much, but at the same time, Burman's laid back relationship with her crew is more like that in TOS, Enterprise, Strange New Worlds, and Lower Decks (even discounting the comedic purpose). I hated TNG (and what little I watched of Voyager and DS9) for making the captains so stand-offish from their crew, even though it may be more realistic "chain of command" behaviour.

Besides the crying, the crew seems very superficial and the relationships forced. They talk a lot about being connected, and sharing these deep emotions etc, but it's not really demonstrated. Picard was a bit cold and commanding, but you never doubted his ability to lead, or be a person when the crew was interested in him The slow revealing of his character worked well for the show and showed how much depth his character had. Kirk, Spock, and Bones. Just saying those names you can immediately picture the bond they had and how they were all buddies beside being crew mates. Burman and crew I can't even think of what makes them click or work together besides being on the same ship.

Say "The Holy Trinity" to a Trekkie and they immediately know who you're talking about.

The Mirror Universe is a cool premise for a show or two, in the run of a series. Basing your entire first season (maybe more?) on the premise that someone 'slipped over the border' and is commanding a ship, isn't. I'm told that they stepped back from that crap in later seasons but they had already lost me, long before then, and I wasn't coming back.
