The second was a more standard Trek episode but there are just too many annoying characters. Maybe I'm showing my age but the teenagers/early 20s drama isn't for me.
I'm still annoyed they keep introducing these neurotic characters who the Federation deems suitable for "military" enrolment.

Interesting, I thought the second episode was infinitely better than the first.
But perhaps it's because I went in without any preconceived ideas beyond expecting this to be The OC, but in the Star Trek universe; which it pretty much was entirely.
That being said, every scene without Caleb was kind of a mess where I was losing interest quickly, or getting annoyed by the character stereotype.
I hope they stay on Earth for a lot of the series rather than trying to be a ship based show.
