It bored me, frankly, so I never got into it. Once I stumbled across an episode on television and watched what was left of it, but that didn't really impress me, either. So here's hoping :)
1069 - When on 'Enterprise'-era Trekverse missions, I will not stash dead fish, salami, garlic or any kind of cheese in T'pol's quarters. Poor woman has enough to deal with without her super sense of smell being assaulted as well.
1070 - It is considered bad form to turn up to bandslash missions in 'Cheer Up Emo Kid' t-shirts. The fact that most bandslash features emo bands and angst is not an excuse. It is not ironic, it is just taking cheap pot-shots at people who are helpless to defend themselves.
1071 - I swore to protect canon characters against Suethors. Not against each other. Interrupting canonical battles is a no-no.
1072 - Nanites cannot cure embarrassing diseases. I should go to Medical before attempting any home cures for things I may have contracted on missions.
1073 - Cross-species male pregnancy is canonical in the Trekverse. I should therefore be very careful about any extended contact of any nature with alien species whether I am male or female.
1074 - Decapitation cannot be fixed with duct-tape. See 1072.
1075 - My partner is not my 'heterosexual life partner'.
1076 - Any attempt to steal and use the Pick of Destiny by musically-inclined Agents will result in immediate loss of privileges. Like unbroken fingers. HQ does not need a seven-foot-tall incarnation of Beelzebub ringing Response Centres in amplifiers and demanding demonic heavy-metal contests in order to regain his body parts. Apart from anything else, you won't win.
1074a. Unless it's Nodwickverse Duct Tape of Healing.
1077. Eldritch abominations are not toys.
1078. Captain Jack Sparrow is neither of the family Passeridae nor Emberizidae.
First I've heard, and I thought I was the Trek nut. Haven't seen Enterprise, though, so if it's from there, that explains it.
Trip Tucker gets himself knocked up by an alien woman just by putting his hands into what is essentially a bucket of gravel at the same time she puts her hands in as well. BEWARE!
It was worth it, WORTH IT I TELL YOU, for Trip's horrified, horrified face. And for T'pol's thinly veiled lecture about how human men need to learn to keep it in their pants.
*pant, pant*
...On the other hand, maybe I need to see that episode to understand. Don't suppose there's a clip on YouTube, is there?
It's done quite well, bolstered by the talent of the actors. It's not too heinous, I promise. It uses quite a bit of Handwavey Genetics Babble, but I've seen worse :)

So far, it's had about as many good moments as bad ones, so I'm going to persist :)
I'm not sure I want to get into another series, even if it is a version of Star Trek. Either way, do let me know how it turns out, mmmkay?
1075a. Nor is my partner my homosexual life partner, unless said partner gives vocal assent for this to be so.
Curses...*stalks off*
1077- The Bene Gesserit and the Second Foundation must not make any contact with each other.
1078- I am not allowed to use my Remote Activator/TARDIS to uncancel my favorite TV show.
1079- If I decide to shove a Sue out an airlock, make sure she won't get picked up!
*This doubly applies in the Hitchhiker's Guide verse, especially after the invention of the Improbability Drive.
