Sometimes actors want out before end of contract. And just when they had become part of 'the crew' for us who watch and enjoy it like that, not always for the best. But this is such a strong series, it could handle it and still draw the Trekkies back in, keeping them hooked for life, hahaha.

Just had a memory of 'Coupling', dunno if you know that comedy series, but when 'Jeff' left, the new added dude was fun too, but not 'Jeff' like fun. Man I had moments when I hurt my stomache laughing so hard with that 'Jeff' guy...

I don't know the series but man I do hate that when an actor decidedes its time to go and they replace them. If it works cool but sometimes the choices of replacement are just so dang awful or they dont capture the essence of the original one!

Exactly, that was the case with Jeff in 'coupling'. If you like a good laugh, then that one is worth watching. (It's a BBC comedy series.)

I shall have a look out for it then dude!!
