Re: Enterprise on VHS
This new story arc they are on I just don't buy at all. I mean its lame, its a rip off of Starblazers/and that B5 spin off.
There was nothing to draw me into the story at all. A one hour premier????? Oh come on!
The Space Soldiers to the rescue. I have nothing vested in these guys, and I know from week to week they are just going to hire some extras to play them.
I once read an article about voyager where someone had gone through and counted all the differant crew memebers seen over the 7 years of the show and the total was like somewhere near 300. The ship only had a crew of about 150 people.
I agree that continuity and long, deeply involving story lines are the best bet for a show now a days. Just look at 24.
The show is boring, dule, lack luster, uninteresting, slow, predictable, sleeply, etc.
And the obvious sex ploys to get male views is so ****ing irratating that its insulting at best. I mean sure T'Pal, as a character is an attractive one, but focusing on her as a sex object is just a sell out and a true misuse of the character in general.
They dumped the seven of nine character into Voyager because the Kes character was not hot enough. Because that worked, and it drew in the 14 to 36 year old male viewers, they tried it again. (Um Jerry Ryan is married to Brandon Braga so all you guys out there that want to impress her with your Trek knowledge and your basement apartment in mommies house should just get a real place of your own and move on.)
The major problem with Enterprise is that the producers don't think we are smart enough to warrent intelligent shows. This was evident in Voyager.
DS9, although dull for the first three years, really hit its stride with the Dominion War. DS9 was very character driven with brillant performances and excellent presentation of drama and action.
Enterprise is well acted, semi well written, but lacks mojo. I am not concerned about the characters, the ship, which I think looks ugly, or the story lines.
Like with Voyager, Enterprise will go for the cheep Ratings, and seldom possess the gripping story lines needed to make it a bonafide hit.
