once u get over the fact that the show looks and feels decades ahead of TOS its quite enjoyable.

voyager was also not that bad a show.

I disagree, in my opinion. I didn't watch the first episodes of Enterprise, and listened to everybody talking about how advanced it was. But I really like all the buttons... TOS have sliding thingies, which looked way futuristic. The astrnautical uniforms are also really dated looking. The phaser pistor (is it a phaser yet?) looks like something from Roger Ramjet, and to top it off, they still haven't yet invented the diagonal sideburn hairstyle either.

It's a lot more visceral, raw and realistic than any of the other ST series. They all seem a little sugary sweet by comparison.

Umm, one of the biggest goof ups in the time line that i've heard about in the show was the contact with !!Ferengi's!!. Wasn't TGN when that happened?

I watched again last night after missing several episodes.

I'm sorry, I can't quite pin it down, but the show holds almost no interest for me...

And I even liked Voyager a lot of the time.

Enterprise just doesn't go anywhere... T'pol needs to be killed of, like Tasha Yar was.... and the writers all need to be fired!

Maybe Paramount should have some guts and start hiring a few fan writers to consult on future episodes.

The actors are all decent, (except T'pol), they just need better material.

I've actually found the doctor (*cough* Nelix knock off *cough* ) to be one of the better characters in the new series.

With a little character development, and sum half decent plots this show could kick some serious butt !

How bout it Paramount - r u chicken !! Buck Buck Buck !!!

I catch most of the new episodes on their first run.

Last night there was a Futurama on Cartoon Network that I had somehow missed, so I'll catch that Enterprise
in re-runs.

Enterprise is a good show, once you get over the fact that it is heresy.

Thanks,

Dave

I agree Enterprise is a good show ,,, it looks nice ,,, people say its boaring ,,,,,,, if you dont like Enterprise you should watch the first seasons of TNG again ...

You cant say that they are great at all...... but I still love it ....

Best way to end the Enterprise series (hopefully far in the future)
Dr. Sam Beckett leaps into Captain Archer and he slingshots around the sun, going back in time (a la ST 4) to his wife and al and gushie. T'Pol becomes a teacher in a public high school in Boston, The alien doctor gets a sitcom with Brad Dourif based on their careers as tertiary characters in sci fi/fantasy movies, and the rest of the non-descript cast begin their careers of showing up at conventions and nobody asking for their autographs.

As often as I can catch it.

Not to mention T'Pol. Never have I seen a finer tush in all the galaxy.

I have to agree with much of what has been sadi so far. The show is good but it seems flat somehow. Definitely needs more long term story and character development. I hate it when the overarching story (i.e. the temporal cold war) only gets advanced in season ending or season beginning shows. The one trick shows can be a bit boring.

I don't think the writers of the show get the fans. We are all dying for the roms, gorns, tholians. I about freaked when I heard the roms were going to be on the show and all we get is one or two shots of the ships although they were very cool. Damn canon to hell, I want all the TOS races in 'Enterpirse". TOS is static and can't be changed. Are we damned to only get one shot at the Tholians forever because it was with Kirk? That's crap.

One last thing about the show. The Vulcans don't act very Vulcan, too much emotion. Perhaps that is good for a dramatic show but it seems screwy.

I watch it now and again, we are probably a season behind over here thought. It just dosnt seem to match up to DS9 which was so awsome imo, this is average in comparison.

By the way, I saw it to the end of the series where the captain went forward in time to where Earth had been destroyed and Enterprise was surounded in the persent. It ended there but no one told me when it came back on TV so I missed the start of the next series, please please someone tell me what happened next! I have continued watching on and off after missing this, but I just hate getting out of the story you know.

I still am watching...haven't missed an episode. Like some, I'm happier with bad Trek than I would be with NO Trek.

Enterprise is pretty good, oftentimes. There's the weak show here and there. I'm of a mind to give it more time to develope. Long(er) story arcs would help. I find they get me more involved, anyway. Unlike some, I dug DS9 ans the Dominion War story arc.

Credo Narth · « **Reply #75 on:** February 14, 2003, 11:22:13 am »

Yep, buy every single Trekkie info book you can. That way you'll know to the episode when they start using the diagonal sideburns.

We were talking about this at work here just today. The original TOS season was almost all single, standalone episodes, apart from Pike appearing from the pilot show and Harry Mudd appearing twice. As for Enterprise, well, there's nothing happened before that they can use as a storyline (and they certainly can't use any existing episodes, unless, they're going to play around with the timeline again). But I think that in the third season, that villains past will start making an appearance. The Romulans will come back, and so will the Klingons, maybe even that robotic space station they went to to repair themselves after they twatted themselves with the mines.

My vote is give it time. I think that the third season will be a lot more involving. in the meantime, I'll just continue watching T'Pol's derriere.

It turned out that Daniels pulling Archer into the future caused the cancellation (or destruction) of the NX project (otherwise known as the Warp 5 Project). Which left Earth wide open for an attack by a post-Federation threat (since the Warp 5 project was cancelled the Federation was never founded) I have a number of theories as to who was responsible for the destruction of Earth, but I wont go into them since they are, of course, my opinion and not something that was disclosed on the screen. T'Pol convinced Silik that Acher was not on board and the Suliban siezed the ship and took it to a helix in a nebula. Meanwhile Archer and Daniels are scouring through a library (Books! With Paper!) attempting to discover where the timeline screwed up. Archer discovers a book entitled the Romulan Star Empire, and takes it off the shelf, but he barely gets the cover opened before Daniels tells him that he should put it back. Daniels puts together a device, (from Archer's Communicator and Scanner) to send a message to the past. Back to the Present, the crew gets the ability to take to each other by wiring the door comms together. They make a plan to retake their ship, Tucker goes to fake a reactor breach, while Reed just happens to get caught while getting into Daneils' Quarters, Reed gets interrogated and convivnces the Suliban that the device he pulled out of Daniels' Quarters is something that the Suliban can use to contact someone in the future, and that Archer had instructed him to destroy it before he left. The Suliban were happy to get their hands on this piece of technology since after Archer was pulled through, they lost contact with thier master from the future. Silik works to get the device to work, lost as he is without direction from the future, meanwhile the Reactor breach starts and the Suliban abandon ship and tow Enterprise out of the Nebula, no sooner than the Suliban Cell Ships reenter the nebula does the explosions stop and Enterprise jumps into high warp. (well Warp 4ish if you can call that high warp). Silik gets thje device work and is trying to explain, through a very bad connection that Archer wasnt aboard Enterprise (he seems to think that the reason his master isn't talking to him is because he failed to get Archer). He was very surprised to see Archer jump through the device and deck him with a single punch. Archer hijacks a cell ship and heads to Enterprise, which is under attack from a number of other cell ships, but he convinces the Suliban to break off the attack, "I know it isnt exactly Starfleet policy, but I took a hostage." The Vulcans dont want to buy any of Enterprise's excuses, especially Soval (Romulan Tal Shiar anyone?), but in the end T'Pol speaks out for the Enterprise crew and the mision is allowed to continue.
