Kill It Already, Please (Enterprise)

Isn't five years about the usual length of time that the Star Trek series since TNG have run? I would like to see the formation of the Federation though.

No. The normal run for Star Treks is seven years. Voyager sucked major balls and it went on for seven years... How do things that suck so much stay on the air?

Here's a thought, most of the people who watch ST shows are pretty good with computers right? Maybe viewer ratings are so low because a lot of them simply download the episodes when they're released, I know that's what I do. I try to avoid TV as much as possible these days, so I download what I want to watch and leave it at that.

Because not everyone thinks they suck! Voyager was a bit sub-par and directionless in the first 2 years, but not as much so as DS9 - and both series improved a lot. On the whole, I would say Voyager was my favourite incarnation of Star Trek so far. What did you dislike about it so much?

 

I loved DS9. It was also the darkest of the series, what with the war an all.

I didn't hate Voyager. I just liked DS9 better.

 

OK, so whats next?
just when it was starting to get interesting

 

Get Scott Bakula back to playing Dr. Sam Beckett! OH BOY!!

[Did he ever say "Oh boy" on Enterprise?]

What - kind of like Voyager meets Gilligan's Island meets Big Brother?

Turning it into reality TV would be the ultimate betrayal of Gene Roddenberry's vision. I'd rather see Star Trek die for good than be reduced to rubbish like that.

 

I haven't seen any Star Trek episode or film, but today I saw this article
http://slashdot.org/articles/05/02/12/2014244.shtml?tid=214&tid=1

 

I was only kidding Starhane.

 

Introduce a new race into the Star Trek universe--one even more staunch and bloody-minded than the Borg, but on our side. It would create some interesting moral issues to have Picard et. al. having to explain away the actions of ferocious allies--headhunting, cannibalism, etc., etc., and having to justify being on the same side as a bunch of bloody savages instead of kicking their teeth in as per usual. Leaves Humans with a bit of a conundrum, having to say well, we don't actually approve of the way they do things, but we like what they do--and thank God they're on our side and not giving US any shit!

 

The Kingons are bad enough from that point of view: vicious, bloodthirsty, thuggish, rowdy, undemocratic, strictly patriarchal and guilty of brutally subjugating numerous weaker cultures. The historic alliance with them must have been a bitter pill for many Federation citizens to swallow - like the idea of 1930s Britain calling Nazi Germany an ally, but worse.

 

I think it's time for Enterprise to go. I like the show and other Star Trek series but I think it's time for Enterprise because a lot of the episodes areslow and rehashed from other series.

 

I loved Voyager, but I hated the ending, the time police will need to send her back, to fix the timeline,
knowing they would end, the writers had plenty of time to get a believable ending

 

I hated Voyager with every breath I took and it remained for so long to twist and corrupt the Star Trek universe. Nothing would kill it.

Now there is Enterprise... which I actually like. It isn't perfect but I haven't missed an episode yet. And for some reason they are trying to kill it when it is the only thing on UPN I would actually classify as television. Damn I wish someone else would pick up its contract.

 

OUCH!

Good god, I can't believe what T'Pol (Jolene Blalock) had to say about enterprise in this article.

I've seen people be unflattering about shows they've done in the past but enterprise's final episode hasn't even aired yet! Damn, she must really hate the show.

 

I disagree that she must hate the show. She sounds like she has a good sense of discrimination and can tell what is worthwhile from crap. She had a lot more appreciation for the fourth season than the third, which should tell you something.

Nope, sounds like disappointment to me. The same disappointment the rest of us sometimes feel at a show that has so much potential and yet so seldom comes close to meeting expectations.

 

Well if the principle cast don't even like it, the show must surely be degenerating. Let it die sooner, with some dignity as a flagship UPN series still remaining.

 

The sad part is it could have been a great show, but the writing and storylines were complete crap. The whole Xindi war wasn't too badly done, but for me the final blow was that stupid Nazi aliens episode.

Great cast, great effects, great concept, horrible horrible writing.
