Whadja think? I actually liked it, even with its little problems and
inconsistencies that people are going insane over for no good reason.
Except for the theme song... That's got to go.

I disagree. I like it, it's pseudo-entertainment. Besides, what would
you rather have, crappy classical crap? "Wherever you may go" by the
calling would have been a good theme, in retrospect.

It makes you wonder if Phlox didn't just hand them the gel... he does
"have a fondness for the human endocrine system."

After thinking about it for a day now, it might just be the video part of
the opening theme that turned me off to the music. After watching the whole
opening, I liked it, but the very first few seconds I was thinking 'did UPN
accidentally switch to Baywatch?'

Problem #1: The Theme Song. TOTALLY INCONSISTANT!!!! I want a nice
humble piece of orchestrated music! not some eleveator music shit.

Problem #2: The Laser Shotgun at the start that the farmer had. I mean .
. . honestly!

Problem #3: We did not gte to see teh Vulcan b00bes!

Aside from that though, I loved it, and the phasers akimbo on the
rooftop was wikkid. I also loved the little quarks in the characters,
like the pilot always bumbing into stuff, and how everyone was so afraid
to use the transporter on people.

It was orchestrated--45 pieces, along with a full-blown opera singer.

Them thar shotguns can blast the Klingots sky-high, goldurnit! Was I

Not exactly phasers on the rooftop--Sarin the Suliban gave them to the
heroes.

Are you talking about Trip? He's the engineer. Travis is the pilot.

Yet they weren't hesitant to use it on the captain. Go figure.

And they have to be little quarks. Big quarks are probably kind of
dangerous.

It's pon farr, dummy. You wanna be a Vulcan, say it right.

And tonight is the premiere of the space suits! All right!

More super space action! Did they have space suits on the Original
Series? Star Trek: First Contact was the first time I recall any of
the ST people in a space suit, but I'm probably wrong. The only
Original Series movie I've seen all the way through is The Search for
Spock.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture showed Spock in a Federation space suit,
IIRC.

Of course, since the costume designer for that film must have been on
crack, it looks stupid.

They had space suits in the original series. I forget the name of the
episode, but it's the one in which Kirk is phased out of the universe and
Spock learns an important lesson.

The Vulcan chick is too... I don't know, pissy? Being logical doesn't
mean being annoying, does it? Is it logical to look like a model,
wear make up etc.? There wasn't any rubber puppets or silly half fish,
half bird characters. What was the cooks name on Voyager? Geez, he
was right out of Sesame Street. And there wasn't any tokens: I really
expected to see a an American Indian with a head dress or maybe a guy
with a turban. But for the most part I guess I liked it.

I'd like to see them behave in a more disciplined manner. I was
talking with the writer who reviews TV for Oddhobby and he pointed out
that in the first S.T., before Spock became the XO, they were very
militaristic... there's a lot of insubordination in Enterprise that
doesn't (shouldn't) make sense in the 'early' missions. I like the
actor, what's his name from Q. Leap. But I don't know, about having a
dog and making the whole thing seem so unprofessional. I guess the
writers are used to writing for Voyager's Capt. Aunt Bea... Mayberry
in space.

If they continue to play fast, loose and dumb they're going to run
into so many "inconsistencies" that no real Trekie is going to want to
bother with it. In other words, if they start out that stupid, it's
only a matter of time before the whole crew should end up dead--that
or every episode is going to have a magic ending... constantly being
saved in the nick of time.



> Except for the theme song... That's got to go.

What the hell were they thinking? Dawson's Star Trek? Maybe they
should have built the ship out of wood and mud.

What do you think about SU2? Better than The Chronicle? The guns are
very stupid... they're huge and they appear out of nowhere like in the
old Batman series where he would reach under his cape and produce an
entire living room set (hyperbole).
