Tuvoc? Hell, he was one of the better characters on Voy . . .

I'm trying to decide about Enterprise. The PC seeps in from time to time, but in the case of Cogenitor, I couldn't really condemn Archer for his reaction. There is no Federation, he has no asylum strategy, and he was facing pissing off a clearly technologically-superior species. As much as I appreciated Trip taking the heart-felt morally high ground, I also winced at the fact that he hadn't thought the situation through--no shame to the writers, since they had Trip acting completely in character. The fact is that he should never have started teaching the Cogenitor without a strategy for removing it from its current situation.

Frankly, the fact that you can have this sort of discusion about ENT puts it heads-and-shoulders above TNG, which always stacked the deck by giving its characters the superior technology and a clear moral choice in every case. That increases by a factor of ten with VOY (Seven was the only good thing to happen to that show after its first season).

On the other hand, the thing that convinces me that Bragman and Berma have lost any sort of creativity is the fact that the Borg are making their appearance next week. *shudder*

They are? Unbelievable! You know, I used to be a HUGE Borg fan during TNG. I nearly dropped a brick when they made an appearance on Voyager.

And then they showed up again.

And again.

And again.

And with each appearance the Borg got more and more incompetent. Apparently, in Voyager, the Borg don't adapt and become more lethal in the next encounter. Nope, in Voyager they De-evolve and become stupider and weaker. Like this one ep where they had Voyager go up against a Borg cube and hold its own for a while. A Borg cube which, btw, was MORE powerful than the one at Wolf 359, which destroyed 40 Federation ships single-handed! Yet this cube, which is more powerful than the Wolf 359 one, can't handle ONE small Federation ship?

Voyager COMPLETELY and UTTERLY ruined the Borg for me. I can't stand them, anymore. So obviously, I'm less than thrilled at the news that they'll be making an appearance on Enterprise. Seems Berman & Bragga are intent on ruining Star Trek once and for all.
