AHHHH Crap! You mean the sub 500 Mac won't kill off the pc's then?//stomps off
Both episodes were took place in the mirror universe.
thanks for letting me know - I took a moment to see the first part of the show.
so Berman and Braga intend on continueing "This never happened" bit (started by that stupid "time war") and intend on finishing the show that was meant to show how the federation was built (which they haven't done any of in the entire run of the series) by running episodes that never happen in the timeline to be capped off by a two part ending where the first part is about some idiot on earth demanding all aliens leave, and the second part being 6 years in the future with the federation is already built.
And you wonder why people stopped watching this tripe?//points
No, as a real trek fan - I did not watch it. In fact I shudder at the Horror of How thouroughly these idiots have pissed on the timeline and used to worst "jump the shark" plot twists in order to hide the fact that Berman and Braga suck.
If all the Enterprise episodes were like the recent "In a Mirror Darkly" arc I think more people would be watching...
Like hell we would. I caught last nights episode and shut it off half way thru.
In the timeline of Rodenberry, Captain Pike was the first to Captain a constitution Class - It was listed in the "Log" series signed off by him. Second, If I want to watch the episodes on the counter universe - I'll pull out the origional "Mirror, Mirror" and watch it - Rather than Berman's mangling of it.
Honestly, the WORST thing berman and Braga did was take a look at origional episodes and start to incorporate them into the series.
"Hey look! Kirk really wasn't the first to run into the Romulans, Gorn, tellurites, or be the first humans to handle pon farr It was Archer! They just forgot to let Kirk know!"
A good idea, An excellant cast, a solid fan base - All destroyed by two men that were too busy cranking out stupidity rather than listening to the hard core fans.
Berman and Braga are the ren and stimpy of the television Industry. This little "Oversaturation" bit is just to aviod the two of them being the confessing to have single handedly destroyed the interest for a trek series on television.
Because Microsoft are illegally enforcing a monopoly by forcing others out of the market (not allowing other products/projects to play along)
Yet when Apple sues online web sites over other people violating NDA's (you know - Signed agreements) It's good business practice./. Let's pick a stance and not change it based on what company the stance is applied to.
Dead collector: Bring out your dead! Trek Fans: Here's one. Collector: Ninepence Enterprise: I'm not dead! Collector: What? Trek Fans: Nothing. Here's your ninepence Enterprise: I'm not dead! Collector: Here. He says he's not dead. Trek Fans: Yes he is. Enterprise: No I'm not! Collector: He isn't? Trek Fans: Well he will be soon. He's very ill. Enterprise: I'm getting better! Trek Fans: No you're not. You'll be stone dead in a moment. Collector: Look, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations. Enterprise: I don't want to go on the cart! Trek Fans: Oh don't be such a baby. Collector: I can't take him. Enterprise: I feel fine! Trek Fans: Oh, do us a favor? Collector: I can't. Trek FansWell can you make it around in a couple of minutes? He won't be long. Collector: No... I've got to go to the Robinsons. They've lost nine today. Trek Fans: Well when's your next round? Collector: Thursday. Enterprise: I think I'll go for a walk. Trek Fans: You're not foolin' anyone, you know. Look. Isn't there something you can do? Enterprise: I feel happy! I feel Happy! (Sound of trekunited being hit in the head with a large club) Trek Fans: Oh, thanks very much. Collector: Not at all. See you on Thursday. Trek Fans: Right.
She's not too far off - Everytime I see a story on Microsoft and Linux - I see the extremists belittle, spread FUD, and incorrect information. I've long maintained that if the best you can do is tell me FUD about Microsoft as a reason to switch - then there's no reason to switch.
One of the prime examples of winnowing me away from I.E. for instance, was that someone finally sat there for a moment and told me what Firefox could do - 10/15 messages back and forth - not a word or mention of IE, and I switched.
I'd like the same about Linux, but always get belittled for asking.
Preach on - the/. post is nothing but FUD. PARANOID FUD.
It isn't a design flaw. And I'm saying the second one isn't afflicted by the same problem since it isn't a design flaw.
And/.? If a 747 crashed because of a de-icer flaw, and the fix got crashed over what seemed to be a de-icer flaw? If I was stuck on a glacier that could support the only jet that could reach me (being a 747 with the same de-icer fix) then I swear to god that i would kill any paranoid motherfucker that refused to send that 747 because they thought "If an aircraft crashes and the redesign to fix it crashes, would you send another of the same type to rescue it? Of course not!"
I don't understand how apple is harmed by, let's say, the reveiling of a sub 500.00 low powered apple?
These "secrets" that apple is suing online bloggers for are really nothing worth being "secret" about.
Cripes, Apple, Lighten up - Get in the mainstream by being more open and receptive to the online community instead of turning to litigation over the equivalent of a mountain from a molehill.
I guarantee you there are millions of Windows XP SP1 machines on the 'net right now. How many RedHat 7s are out there? Not so many. First off, Linux is much less common in general, and second, Linux is much more likely to be administered by professionals, and thus properly patched.
Going by that logic, Linux and Mac shouldn't of been included in the test because of the percentages of Windows boxes out there versus linux and Apple.

Me: It's Star Trek Enterprise

I'm not buying it, to me it's their version of the saddam's "I can change" song in the south park movie.
The mere fact they tried to write off this series as anything other than thier stupid writing has my stomach crawling.

We allow them to use either DVD technology - as long as the one that's not used gets 75% of the profits.
We stay 50/50 on the storage medium - sign that into law, and see which corporation switches it's stance faster.
if you're running firefox with adblock - add a block for ad1.hardware.no/*
That's what's been slasdotted - not the site.

Sheesh.
And of course - the ending is still teh suck.
Mice, on earth - wanting to get the brain.
Wonder how much money was floated to make a suck up article to Hollywood.
the movie contains no references to the pan galactic gargleblaster, and ignores the towel.
the mouse bit at the end is teh suck.
I'll go back and watch the 6 bbc episodes instead.
So long, and I'll laugh at all the fish who go see it in the theater. (Dumb fish)

Hey - there's a neat program called "firefox" and a plug in called "adblocker" - I think it might of been mentioned here a while back.
You forgot to mention that Apple/Linux crowd called the inclusion of the Excel eggs "Bloatware" .

If you have firefox 1.01 installed you have nothing to worry about.
Fixed days ago. Now thats speedy service.
Yet when a slashdot story uses Microsoft XP service pack one to show how full of holes the OS is - It's newsworthy.
Yes, a positive control of FUD directly aimed at making a non story into More popular FUD.
I totally agree.

SP1 was included only to propogate FUD.
You and many of the other posters I read in this thread seem to have a scary attachment to your disdain for the series.
What - the falling ratings weren't your first clue?
In the case of television - the needs of the many do (and should) outweight the needs of the few (in Enterprises case - the very few).
