Star Trek : Enterprise
I see it's been renewed for season 4....
I hope it gets better or I suspect this really WILL be the last one. |
Re: Star Trek : Enterprise
That show has had more stays of execution than a ... umm [insert witticism here, I'm too sleepy :zzz: ]. I'm glad it's getting a season four tho', it has improved markedly.
|
Re: Star Trek : Enterprise
The other Trek series from TNG onwards seemed to take a few seasons to actually get any good...so hopefully ST:E will improve...
LOL, although, to be honest, I've not bothered with it since season 1. |

I did hear that season 4 would cover the birth of the federation. Mind you I also heard that both 'q' and william shater (as kirks great grand father) would also be putting in an appearance. It's going to be moved (in america) to 9pm on a friday night..... HHHmmm didn't they do that to kill the original series ;) |

Then V'ger assimilated the bald bint (or was it Russ in drag?) and the young guy, went back through the wormhole to the machine planet, where the machines went "ooo this organic stuff is cool, lets go get some" and the borg were born. |

Ressurection is a great read, well worth tracking down. In my opinion it's better than First Contact, but then, without First Contact being told, would we have Enterprise? |
Re: Star Trek : Enterprise
From one of my fave sites:
Borg Who? Origin: Delta Quadrant. A cybernetic life-form thousands of years old which is part organic, part artificial life. They have advanced well beyond Federation science, unknown prior to a confrontation with the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D arranged by the entity known as "Q" circa stardate 42761 ( 2365) some 7,000 light-years past explored Federation space in the Delta Quadrant. |
Re: Star Trek : Enterprise
good news season 4 is to happen, the bad news is UPN is signalling that it will be the 'final ride' for the enterprise.

Re: Star Trek : Enterprise
I've given up watching it.Boring!!
And no I don't suffer from low or poor concentration.I just can't stand the way they mess with the continuity.I was hoping that it would avoid all of the McGuffinisms of recent ST series.But NO! we have time travel.We have some mysterious species THAT MERITS NO MENTION IN THE ORIGINAL ST STORIES and yet have SUCH a devastating effect on the earth ALSO NOT MENTIONED IN ANY OF THE OTHER ST SERIES.If they had to do a prequel series why couldn't they stay within the limits of the known history of the ST universe?It's bad,sloppy scriptwriting and a very patent attempt to carry on a cash cow.However THIS ST fan of over 30 years is NOT fooled. :mad: Incog. |
Re: Star Trek : Enterprise
Rumour has it that they have only santioned 10 episodes of Season 4 - the rest will only get the go ahead if the ratings improve .....

so while we are on the subject of sci-fi baddies & goodies and stupid plots, lets hear your favourite....
Baddie Plot line Goodie and your least favourite.... baddie plot line goodie Mine would have to be.... favourite.... Baddie - Shadows from Babylon 5, not only did they look cool but they looked scary and seemed rather evil (im talking the aliens themselves, not just the ships) see attatched pic to see what I mean :) Plot line - Another B5 one, the Earth Civil War, main plot line for beggining of series 3 & the second half of series 4 of babylon 5 Goodie - Kosh from B5. least favourite..... baddie - That thing that thinks its God in ST:5 , and Sybok from the same film (allthough hes not actually a baddie, hes just misguided) plot line - The original borg storyline, the one in TNG when Q moves them to the delta quadrant for a laugh (the borg are one fo my favorite bad guys though, I just really didnt like that episode) goodie - Tough call between Sisko & Janeway funny how all my fav SciFi moments are from B5 and all my least favourite are from Startrek, yet when they where both still airing I would have considdered myself more of a trekie then a B5'er (though I have always said that B5 had a more realistic outlook of the future, even if it is a more depressing outlook) |

However, Enterprise is that little bit different from the rest of ST and I have not yet missed an episode! I think it might be that it seems much more realistic (less utopian) and you get fight scenes down dark corridors! |

It makes a lot more sense finally watching them in order. And they were only 25.99 per set - compare that to the Star Trek sets :) |
Re: Star Trek : Enterprise
Can't they just start a new series that plays off in the future, say, 300 years from Voyager?

Re: Star Trek : Enterprise
Quote:
Not very interesting, it would end up just being a futuristic version of TNG (and unless they can get actors as good as TNG or writers/directors it will flop) Or they have something serious happen which wipes out the federation and then the only purpose of the show would be to rebuild the federation, oh wait, that's andromeda. I think they've bled the Star Trek genre dry of ideas for a long time. |
Re: Star Trek : Enterprise
perhaps they should dump the federation and do it from the klingons or romulans viewpoint next.

Re: Star Trek : Enterprise
Sorry to go back to an earlier part of this topic, but I have to just go back to being the uber-nerd that I am :
Unless i am mistaken, the first hint of the whole V'Ger / Borg connection was in Shatner's book, 'The Ashes of Eden' or the follow-up to it.... is this right? Am I making this up? Sorry but I'd like to sort out my memories, lol, I was fourteen when I read my last star trek book... P |
Re: Star Trek : Enterprise
Why don't they just drop it altogether and find a new universe.I'd love to see come of C.J Cherryh's universe brought to life on the screen.When I read her stories one actually can feel how dangerous space is.In the ST universe there just isn't the feeling that there is a vaccuum the other side of the spaceship wall.In Cherryh's books you get that claustrophobic,panicked feeling all through her books.
However just thinking how many good SF stories have been ruined by Hollywood scriptwriters perhaps it's just as well that they haven't. ;) Incog. :) |
Re: Star Trek : Enterprise
Feck they have messed up the timeline. Dont get me wrong but they messed it up. In Enterprise they made it out thay the borg from Nemesis were frozen and came back alive to send info to the part of the galaxy were the borg live. However we know from TNG that it was Q who sent the Enterprise D to meet the Borg who then knew of the humans. They messed up big time and not the first :(

I just stick to the Bat books now. No messy continuity. Ret-cons are v rare, & when they happen they're usually actually good. No time travel. No constant crossovers. Trek: Is it worth giving ST:E a go? I've not bothered with it since season 1. Then again, if s4 is going to be the last, there's probably not much point now. |

Re: Star Trek : Enterprise
It is a shame that enterprise has been given the death slot for season 4, although upn is kind on programes its still fairly terminal. The latter half of season 3 is getting rather quite good the continued storyline does make you want to watch next weeks to find out what is gonna happen even though for the most part you can work out the outcome. They need more alliances in it though I was glad to see the andorians come into it as it made it more than just a earth ship sadly they were only around for an episode then went.
I think this whole xindi business was scripted because people were complaing about them medeling with the timeline in season 2. First contact did leave a good plot line open for this prequal to be done they just havent quite got it working. The similarities between the NX-01 and the akira class are distintcly there. apparently a pad was found from first contact thingy with akira specs on it but it does seem abit strange they got the shape but none of the internal gubbins. Looks like they'll be heading back to earth for the end of season 3 / start of 4 so hopefully we shall see more friendly ships and nx-02 etc working. Actually the ship itself isnt on its way back its only archer in the xindi ship. I do like enterprise and it has got better and is really starting to find its form of late, although I do have a problem with it, it shouldnt be called enterprise ! They have loads of names to choose from why that one. Theyre are only 6 enterprises in the previous timeline but now there is 7 and all refferences in the other series conflicts with this. Excelsior would of been a fine name. As for the borg stuff mentioned, they were killed off but did get out a message to the delta quad. but nothing will happen on that till tng era. There should really be more stuff on the alpha and beta quadrents. I sure do hope the delphic expanse goes away when they've finished with all this as its not on the normal galactic maps. K |
Re: Star Trek : Enterprise
I have to admit, while I am a lifelong trekkie (I actually do like all the series and most of the movies up till now), I gave up watching Enterprise. Even ignoring the crap theme, I haven't seen one good actor on it, and thought most of the storylines in series one where distinctly lacking in imagination. The Special FX are good (which means visually it doesn't match with either the original series or TNG) but most SciFi shows have good SFX now.
As for Babylon 5, I also love that, but for different reasons to Star Trek. One thing I did like is the extended story arcs (an idea which the DS9 writers copied with their Dominion Wars arc, which I think made ST:DS9 better). Star Trek seemed to have more fun elements, and in some cases, better acting. B5 was a better drama which took it's time to develop stories. |

Re: Star Trek : Enterprise

There are only so many ways you can tell the same story. I think Star Trek used up most of these during TNG. Sure there are a few new ideas - but not that many. The trouble with Enterprise is that they SHOULD ( not that they do all/most the time) be considering the existing story and canon. So - while I'm looking forward to season 4 - I'm not sure any more if it will be better than the first three. Although I guess season 3 was better than the first 2. |

Re: Star Trek : Enterprise

I agree series 3 has been the best so far. My main criticism is that as, someone has already said, they have messed around too much with the time travel element of the story. Some of the plot twists due to this have complicated the story, rather than moved it forward, in my opinion. As a prequel series, the concept that it has to 'fit' with it's successors, is assumed, so I suppose, in a way, time travel is an understandable tool for the writers to use, to 'play' with the constraint. I just find the 'alternate reality' treatment of altered timelines a bit facile, sometimes. :shrug: |

well i watched the last one of seaosn 3 this week - hmmm i say u know sci fi writters just love a cliff hanger dont they.
|
Re: Star Trek : Enterprise
Hmmm...what can I say about the last episode?
The Nazis were aliens? Interesting choice of storyline. |
Re: Star Trek : Enterprise
You know - just watched the finale - and i dont honestly know what to think.
In some respects the episode was quite good, really enjoyed it - then we have the last few minutes and fear strikes me. Given that the next season could be the very last Star Trek for a Loooong time, i have to think that that ending could finally be the nail in the coffin. I hope im wrong, but.... Incidentally, that was the only episode written by Rick Berman & Brannon Braga in about the last 10. They are the people that a lot of trekkies blame for the downfall of Star Trek. Maybe they have a point.... |

Re: Star Trek : Enterprise
IIRC there was another similar program where they had alien types working with the Nazis or am I thinking of the BNP?
A bit of a twister there, how would they quantify that? going back in time, perhaps when in the bigger ship that carried them? but then what about cappy archer, how did he get there? oooh, I hate cliffhangers... bring back Stargate.. |
Re: Star Trek : Enterprise
Well I finally watched this today. Quite good I thought - S4 E1 should be interesting.
|
Re: Star Trek : Enterprise
The thing that gets me about this is HOW?
The only things i can come up with is that A) Either the weapon blowing up caused "local" time to become all screwed up (weak). B) It happened BEFORE the events of the last episode, possible as none of the Xindi actally had ANY contact with earth and the Blue alien who helped them would have had any contact with them either and they werent able to get through to that orbital platform (but why would a WWII tech civ have an orbital platform?) C) The guy helping them from the future has been tampering in things he shouldnt - rememeber him saying that his superiours would be really angry if they found out he told Archer what he would be doing 7 years from then. D) The reptillians(hmmm)/guardians(more likely) went back in time in a last ditch effort to screw the timeline so that a key advance was never made and enterprise was protected by the spheres reconstructing space. (right out on a limb here :D ) BUT THEN WHO THE HECK IS THE BLUE NAZI.... Argggg!!!!! Your thoughts? |
Re: Star Trek : Enterprise
I thought that most of the episode was ok - then the last couple of mins were tacked on the end when they found out they had another season.
I don't know - I just got the impression it was a quick 'conversion' into a cliff hanger episode. |
