This show has pretty much captured the Next Generation feel now. The last few felt like they could've been pulled right out of 1988. In a good way. I think spreading the focus beyond just Ed Mercer has been key, as has almost entirely losing the bad jokes. When there is humor now it mostly works (the dance club this week) and none of the main cast are just relegated to comic relief now.
I've gone from the start of the season where I wasn't sure I'd watch week to week to looking forward to the finale and hoping it gets renewed again.
