I wonder if science fiction has a future. I don't meet many kids interested in science fiction anymore.

[Enterprise]

Oh Noooooooooooo!

LMAO!!

What struck me about Friday's episode was the music. It was a moody and sophisticated score. Movie quality, IMHO.

This past week's "Enterprise" had espionage, danger, and an explanation of that 39-year-old riddle: why did the Klingons in the original "Star Trek" look so human when compared to later versions.

I stopped watching Enterprise last year; but I'm curious; what IS their explanation for that?

many kids are too busy getting fat not exercising and sitting on their fat a**es in front of whatever gadget is the current thing.........

My 11 year old daughter is interested in SF and she reads it all the time.

She can't stand Star Trek, though.

I think people are just sick of Star Trek, which, let's face it, wasn't that great to begin with. The first two seasons of the original series were fun--that's it, fun. The movies were these weird "action" movies that were erratically produced and mostly awful, boring, and had no interesting science fiction content. I gave up on The Next Generation early on, watching four episodes after the first season because friends gave the heads-up; bad actors, cheesy dialogue, PC scripts. Never saw Deep Space, Voyager had even worse scripts. Can't comment on Enterprise because I never saw an episode.

Overall, ST is a mediocre product people like because it's at least set in space. Farscape kicked its butt in every way possible.

They are growing up in a world that would have been a science fiction world when I was akid.

[Darkwolf377]

Now you got me interested, am a major film music fan. Who composed it?

[Tempest]

The new Battle Star galactica is better.

[ThinkPlease]

You bet! I agree!

"... an explanation of that 39-year-old riddle: why did the Klingons in the original "Star Trek" look so human when compared to later versions."

Not refering to the poster directly, but this is the reason Star Trek is laughed at by anyone over 16. I mean, Who cares??? They had a bigger makeup budget, that's why! "P

Maybe I'm old, but it just seems different to me.

[cyborg]

Yeah it seems unless it's an xbox game, kids aren't really interested. I'm just going by what I see in the mainstream magazines,etc. There's nothing new coming out that's good. Or is there?

[rface]

"Enterprise" was crap - too much PC garbage and it just plain sucked.

[Fee]

I miss Babylon 5. The new Galactica is great because like B5 its episodes can be woven into an epic.

[Jagman]

Cy, that's not what I expected to hear from the borg!
