Star Trek: Enterprise Reactions?

Posted by michael on from the exit-poll dept.

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!

    Quantuum Leap? Where was Al throughout the whole show. Kinda disappointed me. And he only did the leap thing once. Oh well.

  2. What a piece of crap by shed · · Score: 1, Troll

    None of the "actors" could perform. The vulcan was a hissing bitch during the first half, I thought count bakula wanted to cry several time, the plot was mediocre even by the standards of the crew that brought us voyager.

    What amazes me is that no one seems to have gone back to the original ST series to see what made it great. It was daring culturally for its time and tried to present a complex cast of characters. Was it perfect? No. But the Berman vision of the future is a piece of plasticine crap undistinguished by any character motivation or deep emotion.

    Sigh. Back to Babylon 5 reruns for me.

  3. Real treckers... by OSSMKitty · · Score: 4, Troll

    know when they are being hoodwinked.

    + "Phase pistols"? Stick with the laser pistol up till at least TOS, please.

    + A Vulcan, who has zero ties to Earth's Starfleet (no Federation) not only sits in the Captain's chair 15 minutes into the show, but takes command?

    + "Wading into space"? After WWIII and warp speed, we blasted off the planet. Most warp research was done on Alpha Centari (See TOS show with ZC and the Companion)

    + The last movie placed First Contact in circa 2063. This is 90 years later, 2153.
    According the ST Encyclopedia, the Federation was founded by several planets in 2161, after the Romulan wars. Better get busy in order to fight and win a war with allies and enemies you haven't met in less than ten years!

    + I won't even talk about warp 5.

    + IDIC. What happened to Vulcan respect and tolerance and non-judgementalism?

    If I got any of this wrong, say so. (Not that I have to worry...)

      Geeks who pour over ST minutia and compare consistency with stupid books sold at conventions are exactly the audience this series is NOT going after.

  4. I want some vulcan pussy. by cybermint · · Score: 0, Troll

    That vulcan chick has a nice ass. I'd hit that shit in a heartbeat. Vulcan's have a pussy, right?

  5. Re:Bad Chemistry by Z4rd0Z · · Score: 0, Troll
    I can't believe how many people are posting about this. While watching Star Trek, does anyone take the physics seriously? This is prime time entertainment, nothing more. Get a life, you slobbering geeks.
