Message:Make it episodic. Make all writers bounded by the truth that the main five characters are there unchanged at the end of each hour episode. Wagon Train in Space. The cats don't need to be shagging each other. Use guest stars for that as needed. No big bad guy, smoking man, Romulan nor Klingon, overarching Borg, Dalek, Peacekeeper, Killer Kane, Empire, Imperium, etc. It's never done well.
Just write like Twilight Zone, the strange nature of space. The rest will be casting. If it lasts a season then add more elements.
I'm w/ Conrad, series suffered death by trying to solve every modern social problem transplanted to 23rd century. A little goes a long way. A bit more whimsy would be welcome. Toss a coin to the Witcher.
