"Seriously, why do "Star Trek" threads always bring in all the "Star Trek [insert series] Sucks" folks?"

Seriously, why do Star Trek threads always bring in at least one Berman/Braga fanboi?

[Revolting cat!]

I wonder what happened to his flesh and blood eyeball.

I hear it's still swingin' somewhere out there!

[The Scourge of Yazid]

Sammy:

Yeh babe, it's like so hep! It's swingin' on a star.

When will Q or the Borg make appearances?

Enterprise has already had an episode with a nascent Borg planet/ship, the one where the ship was repaired by an automated repair station.

(Oh, dear. Now I've outed myself as a Trekkie. Maybe I just watch it for the beagle scenes?)

Enterprise was supposed to have been mothballed last season for good. Its been resurrected and I think it'll make it through a full seven seasons now. I keep thinking of the final line in the Wrath Of Khan where Kirk muses about returning to the Mutara Sector again. Well it goes on to show Star Trek is far from dead. The final frontier lives on. And yes, I thought Shatner's Priceline commercial was his best ever. His being surprised by Leonard was the highlight moment!

If its on a fourth, they might as well contract for the remaining three seasons so they can syndicate it. However, I do not think there will be a new ST show for a couple of years. Paramount's famous franchise has been a victim of its own success.

Why, have you seen one? Not me, I assure you. I don't think they are as bad as some folks do, but I also don't invest as much of myself into WHO the writers are, rather what is written.

I don't care if it's Dr. Seuss doing the writing, as long as I like the show. I like Enterprise, for my own personal tastes. It holds my interest a whole lot more that the previous stuff written by the same people. I find that interesting in itself, but not that's central to my enjoyment.

Wishful thinking, Enterprise will not get beyond season 4... the only reason UPN even picked it up was because they slashed the price per episode to insanely low levels. THis was done by the production company to get season 4 in the can so they would have 100 episodes and be able to sell its reruns into syndication.

Enterprise will not make another season, at least not another season on non Cable broadcast TV... I suppose it is possible that a cable network might pick it up after this season with original episodes, but I wouldn't bet on it. Sadly they took an reasonable premise and promptly put it in the toilet.

However as bad as Enterprise has been, at least it has not been as bad as the worst ST ever.... Voyager... 7 years and the only character remotely worthwhile was the damned hologram.

[HamiltonJay]

After the steaming nugget that Enterprise is, and the insanely lame Voyager that proceeded it (As bad as Enterprise is, Voyager was far worse).. I think ST (new series') needs to "disappear" for a while. Its pretty obvious the whole "ST Universe" is running on empty and has been for a good while now.

[HamiltonJay]

I thought it was going to be about his daughter running away and him being educated on interstellar space graphitti and what it meant as he tried to find her and get out of the ugly underbelly side of interstellar exploration....

That's the second episode

[Polonius]

"Deep Space Nine" was the last worthwhile Star Trek series, and Sisko was the best captain yet.
