Watched SNW, and (granted my expectations were really low) didn't mind it. The bar has been buried in the sand by STD, to the point that in the one time that series was referenced in this show, I cringed. It does look like SNW will have no attachment to STD at all, and the mention was probably demanded by Kurtzman.
Most of my gripes were very nitpicky. Part of the charm of TOS and TNG was that everyones personality shone off of the bridge, but on the bridge it was all business. It made the stakes higher in every episode. If ever someone starts crying on the bridge, I'm out.
There were more nods to classic Trek than to Nu-Trek, and that gave me hope. Big pressure on episode 2.
