I consider myself a fan of the series, though many probably say I'm not, as I find a lot of the original series to be rather corny, for lack of a better term. But I liked TNG, DS9, and most of Voyager. Enterprise was alright, but a lot of it seemed to be done just to boost ratings. Voyager fell prey to the same thing. My favorite argument for this is good old 7 of 9 - a former Borg obsessed with efficiency, wearing high heels.
Right.
And now of course, another full figured woman in a "cat-suit", disrobing in some episodes. I think that was a way of saying "our ratings are slipping, please watch!!!!"
I wish they'd go back and redo some of the DS9 episodes using the computer-graphics of Enterprise. I imagine that they did a little bit of it with the battle sequences with a hundred or more ships in view. Enterprise added good effects for dropping out of warp, as well as easier shielding and hull impact effects. DS9's battle sequences often lacked shielding effects, and they also resorted to stock footage a bit too often. With the computer capabilities now, it seems that you just program the computer with the flight plans of the ships, and it renders everything. No more plastic models and drawing in the weapon effects.
I'd sooner have a successor for MST3K than see Enterprise back - or else an effort to acquire rights to the movies to get the entire series on DVD.
What, no jokes about ridgeless Klingons? They FINALLY answer the question of where the ridgeless Klingons came from and NOBODY cares? lol
I guess I'll have to catch the reruns of season 4. The only explanation of that I saw was in DS9, when some of the Defiant crew go back in time, to the Tribble incident. Worf simply said "We do not discuss it with outsiders."
I remember section 31 from somewhere - was that a DS9 thing or did they show up in other Trek's too?
Section 31 - that little covert operation, right? First time I remembered it was in DS9, with Director Sloan I believe.
