    No, but there is a Mirror Mirror

  2. Re:Slipping all season? by Anenga · · Score: 1 · on Enterprise Getting New Aliens, Hairdos, Weapons

    I agree, that was a good episode. Even TrekNation's review is positive. So was Judgment, which got a "Warp 5" rating on Trek5, which IMO is rather good considering most of their reviews were fair and harsh (but they were right about nearly all of them). And last weeks episode, The Breach was also very good. (Got 4/5 @ TrekNation). So people who say this series is a failure, well... perhaps you should start watching again, because it seems to be getting really good lately.

    Regarding the last episode, it was good. However, I hope they don't stop at a little "suicide" to create the Prime Directive, and instead something major... like the accidental distruction of a planet (Give one race WMD and they whipe out another or something).

    What about a Star Trek film which details the birth/genesis of The Borg - how they came to be?

    I think Enterprise recently showed us the birth of the Borg, in Dead Stop. Think about it: an automated repair station using various humanoid species, their collective minds making up a central computer to run it. And when it repairs itself after Enterprise destroys it?

    Sure, they aren't in the Delta Quad, but maybe the Borg migrated there...

    two reasons even their built-in audience might give this a miss:

    one and two

    the people who own/write/act/produce trek are bored with their cash cow

    Two weeks from now, Fox will premiere Firefly. The promos leave one with the impression that it's "Gunsmoke meets Buffy and buys a spaceship" but that's way off the mark. What's really happening is a serious attempt to do real "hard" SF. More serious, in fact, than any previous TV show -- and I don't exclude Star Trek. There are no conspiracies, latex aliens, ray guns, FTL drives, or any of the other silly baggage of previous TV SF. What it does have is people struggling to survive on terraformed planets in a remote solar system 500 years from now. Fancy technology exists, so most people have horses instead of shuttlecraft, and six-shooters instead of laser guns.

    There's a heavy western/civil war feel (supposedly it's all inspired by The Killer Angels and Stagecoach), but it's not just old adventure stories in SF drag (anyone notice the similarity between Balance of Terror and The Enemy Below?). It's something new and original, and I'm looking forward to it a lot more than I ever did a Farscape ep.

    This fan site has more info than does the official site, including a lot of good stills.
