Enterprise Getting New Aliens, Hairdos, Weapons
Steve Krutzler writes "The news about Enterprise's radical "new direction" for its third season is going mainstream on May 10th in TV Guide. Rick Berman reveals that the season finale will bring about major changes in the struggling Star Trek series for next year including new aliens, new weapons, new hairdos and a mission he calls a Star Trek "first."" I've felt like the show has been slipping all season, so here's hoping.
Just somehow bring the Borg into an episode. That'll sell it. Oh wait, they're already doing that....
What's going to happen, a trekkie is going to lose his virginity?
says it all
Peace and love, y'all
Don't get me wrong - I like hot babes in form-fitting clothes and all, but after Seven of Nine and T'Pol, how about a hot babe with all the nice bits PLUS an actual PERSONALITY? Sure, the physical goods are there, but their behavior isn't exactly sexy.
"Captain, it is 1300 hours. Time for our afternoon copulation."
Then again, since ratings are down, try a proven formula: Have Archer shave his head, grow a beard, and bring in Worf!
Wait a second, I LIKE Q. I had heard that Q was going to visit them, but the main story didnt mention it.
Q has potential, and the early Q episodes were pretty good, I thought. The Voyager Q episodes kinda sucked tho.
More importantly, they will be stocking new weapons so they can destroy stuff, including people. This is worth waiting for. The better episodes so far (relatively speaking) have been where they focused on the weapons anyway. First use of photon torpedos (hinted to this on last night's episode, which was an ok episode)
Guess I'm just a typical American, I want to see them blow shit up.
Tequila: It's not just for breakfast anymore!
Slipping is an understatement. Nothing says "it's over" like the crew encountering an alien race that requres a threesome in order to reproduce.
Seriously, if I wanted to see a bunch of oddly proportioned women who wear too much makeup getting it on with average looking guys, I'll watch a porn.

"Furthermore, the dangerous Delphic Expanse, likened to the Bermuda Triangle, causes those who enter to "become anatomically inverted (skin on the inside, organs on the outside)"brWasn't that one of the Simpson's Holloween Specials? "Look! It's that funny gas that turns people inside-out!"
There's a growing sense that even if The Future comes,
most of us won't be able to afford it.

While the enterprise is exploring a new nubula, they are caught in a plasma storm which shorts out their systems. The ship computer is then attacked by some alien force and gains awareness! Enterprise becomes a new character! Over the course of the rest of the series we get to follow the tear jerker exploits and follies of the ship as it makes it journey to discover what it means to be 'human'....
The only way to save enterprise is to put Archer in an orange sweatshirt and have him die every episode.

Of course
Two Borgs... Therefore
One is Borgified Wesly Crusher
One is Borgified Q (This should eliminate any residual continuity or logic)
They trap the Enterprise in a primitive holodeck jerry-rigged from a PS2 running 'GTA3 Vice City'
As a result the new uniforms are 'Members Only' Jackets and the entire crew gets Flock of Seagulls haircuts.
Lastly, replace the communications officer with a rugged man or woman. Linda park looks too gorgeous and too frail to be going into outer space on scare missions.
Remember Kirk, Spock, and Bones? We need that comraderie and toughness and wit again. The current "Enterprise" just do not have the magic.
"First Officer? What did T'Pol have to do with it?"
Yeah yeah, sorry. I was distracted by my girlfriend.
"Derp de derp."
I just wish that in terms of production values: 1) They ditch the catsuit for T'Pol. No real Vulcan would dress like that...it's degrading.
:-)
I agree 100%. I wanna see T'Pol without the catsuit on!
(Sorry, that was just too easy to pass up

What the article did not reveal, and what few of us really know, is who the leader of the Xindi is. Most of the third season will be spent with them slowly unraveling that cold, horrible truth. And, no, Bergman did not name the show after his girlfriend Cindy.
Cindy Lauperwill star as the evil leader of the Xindi--who in reality are just a bunch of girls who want to have fun. At least this time, the ST crew will encounter a race with a cool new name, instead of some rip off of something from Earth's culture (Romulan, Vulcan, Borg, Cindy^H^H^H^H^H etc.).The other neat thing is that the evil leader speaks in song.
Translation: "I hope He will understand."
What those who want activist courts fear is rule by the people.

Hey! You can do the same little trick with Star Trek synopsis as you can do with Chinese fortune cookies:
- A Tellarite bounty hunter captures Archer intending to turn him over to the Klingons for a substantial reward...
- Meanwhile, T'Pol is infected with an alien pathogen that unleashes her primal Vulcan urges...
"Has [being a kidnapped teenage girl, raped repeatedly for months] changed you?" - Katie Couric to Elizabeth Smart
You know, if you think about all the numbskulls on TNG that got assimilated, it only makes sense that their addition would have a negative impact on the collective... er, present company excluded?
I think they could get some great ideas for completely off-the wall characters by attending just one Star Trek convention.
