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!
tits..
er, i mean, it sucked.
Quantuum Leap? Where was Al throughout the whole show. Kinda disappointed me. And he only did the leap thing once. Oh well.
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.
My cat can eat a whole watermelon
Space Jews. We finally get rid of these suckers.
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...)
*Wacka*wacka*wacka*wacka* AAAAUUUUGGHHH... oh, shit, another week of sticky keys...

I like to watch.
*shrug* I saw the VCD of it yesterday.
That vulcan chick has a nice ass. I'd hit that shit in a heartbeat. Vulcan's have a pussy, right?
What? Did you "accidently" read a full paragraph on the main page? DONT READ IT! Besides, nothing important was given away.
werd up trekkies.
JMS is your macdaddy.
< ducks >
You had me at "dicks fuck assholes".
Wank wank wank.
You Star Trek fans are something else. Paint a fantasy world where untiy is forged through fascism and you all run out of tissue.
And why is that you smug, faux-scientist athiests are always searching for god? Roddenberry is the apparent messiah. Oops. No. He's an entertainer. And he made the "Wagon Train of the Stars" at a time when westerns were very popular on TV.
I don't even know what to say about the new versions of Star Trek. I find their themes so disgusting, their social interactions so regressive although they seek to appear progressive (a utility of fascism? I think so). And this one, they obviously don't even know what to be. I can see the producers debating over what you stunted adults want. They want porn. They want to see hot chicks in pajama-like uniforms. It's the closest these dweebs get to sexual contact. It reminds them of fantasies about their sister, things unsaid over Honey Combs.
Why don't you wankers join the real world!!!! Star Trek sucks and has sucked in all its new renditions. Total and complete suckups to our empty corporate culture. Life aint so bad because there's a hotty two cubicles who you never have the chance to hump since you are so self-indulgent that you never grew up. Grow up. Get over this shit. And take some night courses in Liberal Arts that actual ask you to use your brains as you attempt to understand the world around you. Computers, TV, electronic toys aren't going to do it for you.
Strict obedience to the law is the key to liberty.
