Default Re: OT: Enterprise...What did you think?

I will admit to liking Enterprise. And I'll likely continue to watch it. While most folks have fired off opinions about things that were ... bothersome, like the "shower scene", I had a more general problem. And in fact, it's a problem that EVERY Star Trek series has shared... temporal linear inconsistancy.

The time lines just NEVER work. Phased pistols in use while the original pilot for the 1701 Enterprise crew had lasers (already mentioned); Klingons in the "modern" form (bumpy headed barbarian warriors with strong senses of honor) when in ToS they were... well, clearly different. And if explained as the Klingons being "modified" so that the humans would be more trusting, well... as usual, the Star Trek historians completely forgot about the first Klingons they met. Give me a break.

And despite the fact that the ToS Enterprise was sent out on a 5 year mission to meet new races, that base/trading post they hit had dozens of races that never appear again.

Again, I liked it. And I'll watch it. But as with all Star Trek, you really need to not only suspend disbelief, you often have to add blinders and memory depleters as well.
