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."

    I don't think it's just Dallas... I blame UPN. It's because ENT is not predominantly black. UPN don't play 'dat game.

    Are you fucking insane? DS9 sucked giant hairy assballs compared to STTNG. The stories were lame because they focused soley on the characters and their interpersonal issues. Who fucking gives a shit? Give me new characters and new adventures every week. Not that same old rehashed shit happening on the same lame space station every week. You sure must be a boring individual if you can watch the same show with the same fucking plot every fucking week. They could have put more focus on the wormhole than they did. Made it unstable maybe so that people got whisked away to unknown parts of the universe and were struggling to get back or something. That's why Sliders was one of the best science fiction shows to ever come out of the 90s. They had all those universes to visit and things were different all the time. You never knew what was going to happen next. With DS9 it was just, "Odo is sad again and something just came through the wormhole". And don't get me started on Babylon 5. That show was even shittier than DS9 and that's saying a lot considering just how shitty DS9 was. Oh and what about all the lameass crap fighting on DS9 all the time? WTF was that all about? Who cares? I don't want wars and shooting, I want people with great minds and high ideals working together in a cooperative fashion to solve a problem. Again, this is why STTNG, Sliders, Voyager and Doctor Who all rule over all other science fiction. I don't want to see action crap disguised as science fiction, I want real domeheaded science fiction!!! And what is it with dissing the time travel plots???! Those tend to be the best plots in science fiction. It's always new and exciting because you have no idea how things will work out. The time travel stuff tends to round out decent plots. When you have nothing but wars and fighting, all you get is crappy special effect with things blowing up, ships flying through space, and treachery. WHO FUCKING CARES!!!? If I want to see that kind of shit, I'd work for George W. Bush. (Well, flying through space with Bush is accomplished with Cocaine). So get off your stinking high horse and realie that if you liked DS9, you are a failure as an interesting individual and you are not a true science fiction fan. You are an action fan and should go watch a bunch of chop sockies and Teh M4tr1X because it's "sooooo 1333337"! NOT!

    The walking vagina life support system is driving the freaking Cylon plot. She is the one revealing the nature of the machines (as theological fundamentalists), keeping the humans alive by guiding Baltar, and the one with the heavy insights on everything.

    Here's a life tip. You'd be in error to think your homosexual or pederast perspective reflects refined taste. You are not going to convince 93% of the male audience they don't want to look at spectacularly attractive women, nor the hetero TV execs who produce this show. Frankly, your inability to appreciate the underlying themes of this show as reflected through its female characters only makes me think you're an idiot. Espousing those views are only going to attract attention from homophobes or angry victims of child molestation. Go back to your Full House reruns and stay away from the sci-fi.
