Could TNG Stunt Casting Save 'Enterprise'?
Tycoon Guy writes "It seems Star Trek: Enterprise isn't about to go down without a fight. TrekToday is reporting that Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis will guest-star on the season finale of Star Trek: Enterprise, to reprise their Next Generation roles of William T. Riker and Deanna Troi. Hello stunt casting! The news has been confirmed on Sirtis' official fan site."
... the last /. story. then I downloaded series 4 and it wasn't so bad. currently getting series 3.
how come they changed their position on calling it "Enterprise" and not Star Trek: Enterprise"?
I hope they keep it going. there's no reason not too. if you don't like it DON'T WATCH IT YOU 'TARD. your TV does have an off switch, or at least a change channel switch. failing that, just throw a blanket over it.
and don't talk about "ruining the reputation" and "devaluing previous Star Trek". that's crap. Star Trek is far too big for that. if the original motion picture didn't ruin the show, then Enterprise sure as hell won't.
What kind of moron thought Deep Space 9 was entertaining?
I'm sorry, but I just don't see what the big deal is with Galactica. Yeah, it's great that we have all these flawed characters trying to work through their problems, but. . . . Has anybody noticed all the *stupid* stuff in Galactica?
I mean, Cylons that look like humans and apparently can't even be distinguished from humans with medical tests -- yet still have robot-like abilities. How could that possibly work?
Cylons wiping out humanity for reasons that are poorly defined and make no sense. (The parent must die before the child can come into his own? Give me a break!)
Religious Cylons. Nuff said.
Baltar's inexplicable tendency to side with the Cylons even after they *duped* him into helping them. Wouldn't you be hacked off if they did that to you? Maybe the point is that he's a jerk. Why does so much of the show focus on a jerk?
Confusing plot line developing on the Cylon-occupied planet. Maybe it will start making some kind of sense eventually?
Celestial bodies with WATER are rare? I guess our solar system is some kind of freakish curiosity, since it's littered with icy bodies.
But most of all I'm disgusted by Baltar's hallucinations, daydreams, Cylon mind-control transmissions, whatever they are. . . I'd much rather watch a good old-fashioned outer space show -- with things blowing up -- rather than this strange rambling exploration of some jerk's unconscious.
I'm not blind to ST: Enterprise's shortcomings. . . But if Enterprise and Galactica came on at the same time, I imagine I'd opt for Enterprise.
The real question is, why does Sirtis have a fan site??!
DS9 finished good? Glad to hear it! I couldn't make myself watch past two seasons.
By best written you mean boring and annoying, right? And note to mods, trolling and having poor opinions of your fanboy hobbies are two different things.
