While IMDB users are not representative of the wider population, I find it interesting to see that they've soured on Season 4 episodes so far.

I've soured on s4 too. First one was the best, second acceptable but not really trek, and it's just been shit since.
Please just give us a final 1.5 seasons of quality fucking trek. Is that really so hard? I'm glad they're having fun making the show, but the audience isn't.
Agreed, the whole "every episode is a different genre" is tiresome. I think that would have been fine for just one season, with some reason for that season to be like that. The show feels inconsistent and discontinuous, which is generally not what people like to experience. A good show may have both good episodes and sucky episodes, but still stand as at least the sum of its whole, if not more than its sum. SNW is kind of the opposite, where even if you have good individual episodes (and they're not all good), the whole does not stand together.
I do appreciate the experiment in television and story telling (one of the reasons I loved Fringe way back when, even when the "science" was pretty awful), but I think they should have learned earlier. Oh well, too late now.
