Normally I’m not a big sci-fi fan, but I was surfing this new Enterprise in-between the Braves-D’Backs game.
Don’t have much of a grasp of the Star Trek lingo, but when the Klingons got that hologram technology from the alien ship, one of them saw the pictures of their homeworld and stated, “I CAN SEE MY HOUSE FROM HERE!!”
I snorted a few ounces of Rick’s Hard Lemonade through my nose when I heard that. This show is definitely a Star Trek product that is a bit self-mocking, and I like that. My wife thinks the new show is heresy, but she takes her sci-fi seriously.
Great line! I can just see the Klingon commander yelling at his crew, “Stop bickering! Don’t make me stop this ship, or someone’s gonna be sorry!”
Cool show, hope it evolves into something like a cross between Voyager and Spaceballs.
Just before last night’s episode I said to Wife, “I don’t know if I much like this show yet.”
After it I said, “Well, despite the cliched male pregnancy crap, it wasn’t bad.”
Wife doesn’t care because it’s Star Trek and she’d watch it no matter how bad it was. (see: the entire run of “Voyager,” which I did)
I like the doctor’s enthusiasm and how he seems to be completely unaware how gross he can be. I think I know him. I may BE him. I like Trip and how he may be the best at what he does, but he’s far from perfect. I lust after the bitchy Vulcan. The captain and armory officer and whatever it is that the Black guy does besides provide diversity are all fairly boring so far, but the arms guy has potential. My other favorite line was Trip’s “No, I didn’t get to look at their armament,” as soon as he got back because I know people who would ask about that first and pretend it was for defensive and professional reasons when it’s really because they REALLY LIKE GUNS.
