OT: Enterprise New thread....

Yeah, you'd think they would try the lasers, too, if they were that desperate. But you'd also think the Axanar ship would be able to guess that the ship that won't respond to his hail, and is attacking the other ship, is the villain.

For that matter, is this likely to be a "new" thing? Wouldn't there be a history and the Axanar would already know if there's someone out their who thinks of them as a resource to be harvested? But this is television. They have to crank out stories very quickly and deliver their 22 episodes per season.

Hah! That's what was bugging me about that episode. I couldn't put my finger on it, but it was pecking at my subconscious.

It's like the two alien ships were ignoring each other until the Enterprise crew convinced the friendly aliens that it was the other guys who killed his people.

Why did't they attack both ships as soon as they arrived? For that matter why didn't the bad guys open fire on them as soon as they arrived, instead of waiting a few minutes for the other ship to attack them? Was everybody onboard busy running the tractor beam and nobody bothered to look out at the ship approaching them?

He he. That's funny.

It seems like the budget for this show is somewhat less than Voyager.

I hope it gets better as time goes on like the previous shows did.

I think the opening music is terrible!
Atleast we have a male Captain.

Well it's all personal opinion I guess, but the theme is most definetly NOT growing on me. If anything I disliked it more the second time I heard it. I do like the opening credits that play during the song though, as long as I plug my ears real tight.

Hey, we haven't even gotten to the problem of how everyone in the galaxy knows what sort of signal to send for the Federation's video hardware. A video signal is very complex, though most people have forgotten this after decades of tv in every home, business, cardboard box in the alley, and whatnot. Ever wonder just how every new contact can give them a video signal in perfect synch, and their camera just happens to be sensitive to the same fragment of the EM spectrum that human eyes are designed for?

At least every alien doesn't speak English anymore.
