Star Trek: Enterprise Reactions?

So, what did you think of it? The theme song has to go. Commander Tucker ("Kumanduh Tuckah") needs to get a personality other than "he'll be just like McCoy, only clumsy and stupid". Is it really necessary to rehash "cold emotionless Vulcans vs. thoughtless, reckless humans"? That plot device was old thirty years ago and it's physically painful to watch now. How can armor plating go "offline"? Electromagnetic shields maybe, but one of the virtues of a hunk of steel is that it doesn't go "offline". And what's with the soft porn? I was waiting for the bow-chicka-bow-wow music to kick in. CT: I didn't get to see it! I don't get UPN! Curses!

    And Picard told us that the war with the Klingons was sparked by a botched first contact with them. But that contact didn't seem to be botched.

    You don't call being shot in the chest by a xenophobic Okie corn farmer a botched first contact? The only thing they coulda done to make a worst first impression was to put on white hoods and burn a cross in front of his spaceship.

    Heh. I can just see Episode 340, Season 14:

    Lt. Mandrake: Damn, myself and the 4 female crew members I took over to examine that alien ship somehow managed to become infected with a clothes eating virus!

    Hottie Doctor: It's worse than that, sir; my readings indicate that this virus may trigger dangerous amounts of sexual hormone production in the body!

    Lt. Mandrake: I see....recommendations Hottie Vulcan Science Chick?

    Hottie Vulcan Science Chick: Sir, these scented oils, candles, and sensously-shaped plastic devices might help. Allow me to demonstrate on Ensign Youngbuck here.

    Ensign Youngbuck: Whoa! They didn't teach us anything like this at the academy!

    Yeah, after he rescued the Klingon, and was wondering around the base I kept expecting this scene:

    "Al, why haven't I leaped yet? Ziggy said I was here to save that Klingon guy, right?"

    "Hmm... Ziggy says there's now a 73% chance that you need to set up a nemesis for future episodes first.... Or maybe you're supposed to do that Vulcan chick. It's a little hazy. (Do you see the set on her? Yowza!)"

    I find it personally and professionally offensive that you would mention Star Trek and Windows in the same sentence.

    This sentence pretty much defines the term "geek."
