Its either Enterprise, or nothing? Well, to be quite blunt, if I had to eat crap or nothing, I would like to think I would eat nothing. I gave up watching "NEW" Trek towards the end of DS9, and then again rapidly after Voyager came out and then gave it up at warp speed after Enterprise came out.

Never fear, when I feel like watching GOOD Trek, I merely break out my DVDs/VHS and watch it.

THe ONLY good thing about Enterprise is the NAME.

George Takei has made it very obvious that he wants to do a TMP era series based on Captain Sulu and the Excelsior, which he and many fans campaigned for prior to the release of this abomination called Enterprise.

If only Paramount had gone that way, they would finally have another show that always was #1 in ratings as was TNG, and they would not be having the problems with Activision et al.

THe latest Trek game (Shattered Universe) which I actually did buy merely to have a Trek title for the Xbox is based on this VERY CONCEPT. (I gave up on this game after I was able to destroy 40+ fighters and 4 Constellation class starships under the control of the M-5 computer with a SHUTTLE! But I must say that the SFC ship models still look nice   )

Hopefully, Enterprise will die a quick and quiet death after these next 12 episodes, and then Paramount/Viacom will either SELL it (Trek)  to a house that will restore it to the glory of old, or they will take the hint from their FANS and actually put out a show someone will WATCH! (imagine the shock on that one!) or perhaps they will merely let it die and leave us with 2 excellent series, one good one and two horrid ones. Evens out to about 50% I would say. Sort of like Bill Paxton on Aliens "Lets just bug out and call it even, okay?!"

I normaly dont take the time to post here anymore, tho I do visit on occasion, but this was too much to resist.

Have a nice day!

I'll admit I like Enterprise. There are a lot of bad episodes and a few good ones. The recent episode with the Andorians was very well done. I love Shran.  I have starting watching Enterprise every week and I never did that DS9 or Voyager, but I may buy DS9 on DVD to see if I missed anything. Some of the combat scenes look pretty cool from the websites I was reviewing

Even TOS had it's share of bad episodes.  Spock's Brain, Garden of Eden and Turnabout Intruder come to mind (painfully!)

Indeed, for someone too say that this tech we see on Enteprise is "Not Cannon" is sort of rediculas.  I can understand that 22nd century tech is suppose too be much less advanced then 23rd or 24th century tech, but too base it on TOS tech is sort of rediculas.  

Anyway, I really have no idea if that is what B&B had originally intended Enterprise too be... an alternate Timeline/Universe.  All I'm saying is that I can stomach Enterprise much easier if I think of the show as an Alternate Universe, mostly because the show itself has so many contradictions too TMP, TNG, DS9 and VOY.  

Unfortunetly, it will take more then an alternate Universe too stomach the "Akiraprise".
