Ok ever since roddenberry died I think star trek has lost its roddenberry appeal. I mean TNG was goo until the 6th and 7th season when they just fucking lost their way when good ol Gene passed. I mean since DS9 and Voyager both started near or at the end of TNG and the passing of Gene they were good. But Enterprise to me is kinda wishy washy. There is no “Emergency on Fineass prime” Or a good ol battle scene (except in Regeneration and the season 1 closer and season 2 opener).
It’s like we are watching people wander clulessly in space while archer fucks up a few planets (since of course the prime directive isn’t in place, of course Archer doesn’t have the sense to think that interfering is a bad thing).
Prequels are popular right now, but not practical. Take the Star Wars Prequels. They didn’t do as well as they could. You knew the characters but in this instance it was like you had to get re-aquainted to them and it lost alot of appeal. Of course when Episode 3 rolls around it would be close enough to 4, 5 and 6 to do better.
What I want is a series that picks up after Voyager comes home. Or maybe during the 29th century due to the Relativity being mentioned on countless occasions. Make a sequel show, not a prequel. I wouldn’t mind if they brought the New Frontier book series to life, in my opinion that is a good series. And have the writer of that series Peter David be the main writer on the possable show. Not Brannon “ride along” Bregga or Rick “It’s all mine” Berman.
I mean the show isn’t bad to watch, but it lacks that Star Trek feel that we all love so much.
In my opinion they should launch a new show that takes place in either the 24th century (right around when Voyager ended) or the centuries after that, they did the “Century later” card before with the next gen why not do it again. Go into the unknown again without losing that Star Trek feel.
Did you watch COngenitor?
Isn’t that the one where some bronze age guy like with cutlery becomes a star ship captain? I didn’t figure you could teach the guy calculus let alone Captain stuff. I’ve only read a couple of them, though.
They’ve done that three times. In all fairness, the Enterprise concept is good.
I agree. It needs tweaking and some adjustments in the “vision” but it is a good concept.
Personally (as stated before) I think they could have retro’d it a bit more.
A 24th century show according to Voyager would be mostly time travel… Crap on a cracker I think we’ve had more than enough of that.
Haha. Goo. I thought Enterprise was that gooey one.
Where’s NCB at, anyway? He should have been all over this like ugly on a ape!
Kn(sorry, McDiddy, but typos are fun)ckers
I guess I should have expected that.
Me no type well!
Also on the record I don’t hate enterprise, but I really do wish they injected some of the good old Blood of Trek into it.
Of course this show could be showing how Earth learned how their actions effect others. To me it’s just one big pinball machine, chaotic but with a purpose.
I think that’s one of the themes of Enterprise; the development of the Prime Directive (although Archer does sound rather like Edith Keeler when he talks about the subject) along with photon torpedoes, replicators and holo suites.
“Someday, there’ll be some sort of rule… A directive… It would be our primary source of advice on how to interact with other species, so we don’t always screw everything up… And there will be rooms, no, suites in which we can get down and dirty with holographic people.
And there will be monkeys! Talking monkeys, with little green hats, and shoes that have bells on the toes, so when the monkeys dance they jingle! The monkey’s will perform magic tricks for us, as we drink synthesized pseudo-alocohol! -”
sounds of Archer being dragged away by men in white coats
So…I was disappointed that the bounty hunter seemed to be such a tough guy and turned into a weenie.
Nice reference to “Journey to Babel”, though, Archer saying that Tellarites argued as a sport.
I was expecting better from the Tellarite make up after all the hoopla, too.
That sounds eerily familiar. What thread am I in again?
muah-hahahahaha! And so it begins!
Dammit, Jim! I seem to be in some sort of recurring time loop.
Or my meds have worn off.
Ooh, look! Shiny!
WHAT begins? I’m so confused. And my TV listings don’t make any sense, either. They’ve pre-empted Worlds Most Horrible Child Maimings Caught on Video for some weird show on with action figures and elephants and nudity.
And NCB ate the last of my Ritalin.
MY BRAIN HURTS.
Next week on MY BRAIN HURTS with Tars Tarkas…monkey disco dancing, and clowns with leprosy! Special guests: Miles O’Keefe! Colm Meany! ALF! No Clue Boy’s Mother!
You leave my mother out of this!
She’s a saint.
A New Orleans Saint! [rimshot]
At least you didn’t say Saint Bernard!
Well, that would just be stupid…
Do you guys have a license for this?
