Some of the episodes in this series are wonderfully creative. As the end of season three plays out, the writing and some of the acting is disintegrating badly. I never liked Shattner in Start Trek and almost didn't even start this series because he was in it. But I was pleasantly surprised by season one and two. He was perfectly cast as a bumbling fool - really fits his actual personality and the writers played on that brilliantly. However, at the end of season three, his character degenerates into a VERY unfunny totally distasteful jerk. This is supposed to be entertainment? As he lusts after women obnoxiously and goes about being a complete idiot, we're supposed to laugh? Give me a break. The man is a terrible actor and was only redeemed by some good writing and directing in the first two seasons. I found myself asking "Why am I watching this crap?". No more for me. Too bad, some of the other actors are very good.
