like polka. The other one was a bit off their usual classical theme music
but given the "time" this was supposed to take place it was a bit more
appropriate. They should have left it alone.

Enterprise more Star Trek like. So go with a more classical leaning
including the brass fanfares. Also make Vulcans act like Vulcans, and stay
with established ST canon.

current version.
Steering Enterprise toward the standard Star Trek model will be
disappointing because the "established ST canon" is tired, in my opinion.
I like the idea that the characters of Enterprise are more like pioneers and
don't have as much to rely on than the other shows (save Voyager). The
original theme reflects that idea better than the new, softened version.

something from a hair-band in the '80s. I like the more traditional
"classical" style of anthem with a fanfare.
Also, I was hoping for a more creative and less hackneyed plot line for the
new show. And, sorry if I offend anyone, but Scott Bacula is hands down the
worst actor on television. Archer could have been a more interesting
character if a more accomplished actor had been cast in the role. By the
third season I had even become comfortable with the paper-cutout characters
in ST: DS9, but this season, though better than the first two, just doesn't
hold my attention. Maybe I'm looking for something that's just not possible
in the ST universe as it is.
Just my .02

There aren't many fans of the theme song that frequent this place. I
could tolerate it the first version but don't really care for the
remake myself. I have to say, though, I really like the photographs
shown in the background during the theme song. I do wish a nod had
been given to the Russian space program, however: first man in space,
first woman in space, first satellite in space ... you get the idea.
>Also, I was hoping for a more creative and less hackneyed plot line for the

I've always held the opinion that a pre-Federation show was a rather
good idea. I feel in some ways the show has been good but in others
they have sort of let the fans down.
>And, sorry if I offend anyone, but Scott Bacula is hands down the

Really? Did you ever seen him in "Quantum Leap" or the movie
"American Beauty" or "Lord of Illusions"? I thought he did an
outstanding job. Some people think he's wrong for the part, others
think it is the material he's given. Me? I think he is doing a
pretty good job in a great role.
>Archer could have been a more interesting character if a more

I don't think too many people would argue that Bakula is not an
accomplished actor.
>third season I had even become comfortable with the paper-cutout characters

Again, I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. DS9 had some of
the deepest characters on Trek. Most evolved throughout the course of
the series that most Trek characters did not. Compare Dr. Julian
Bashir in the pilot with the final season, or Sisko, or Jake, or Kira.
Now look at the characters in Voyager ... in the last season they were
basically unchanged from the first season.

something to eat. I like it, but don't go out of my way to hear it every
week.
It's not Bakula that you need to complain about, it's T'Pol/Jolene Blalock.
The woman is a slut in real life, can't keep her clothes on and is only on
the show for one reason, to bring in the 13-17 year old boy viewers so they
might get a glimpse of her tits. She should be killed off and replaced with
a real vulcan! Did you see her in the episode Twilight? The bulkhead fell
on her leg, she cringed, cryed and grabbed her leg the entired time. A real
vulcan may have cringed, but would have regained control and handled it.
(Yes, I know it's show and there are no "real" vulcan's)
They made a big mistake casting her in that role.

What does her sexual proclivities have to do with anything? She can
either act, or, she cannot.

Maybe that is why she was cast but I think she has done a pretty good
job of being "Vulcan" in the time the show has been on the air. This
is my opinion only, of course, but I think she's the best Vulcan we've
seen on-screen (including the movies) since TOS's Nimoy/Spock &
Lenard/Sarek.
Of course, one must pity Blalock in a way. No matter how sterling her
performance, the Trek "true-fans" will probably dislike her
performance.

I didn't hear the screaming most human beings would have done under
similar circumstances so I don't really agree with your point.

That's pretty high praise indeed! For me, she's simply been adequate at
times. At others, I feel she misses the point completely.
Actually, Tim Russ's performance as Tuvok was a LOT more convincing to me.
It seemed to me that he really did his homework.

I don't know, I kind of liked "Quantum Leap." It was quirky. Where
else are you going to see Bakula wearing a dress? In his acting
roles, I mean.

Blalock seems to have a lot of facial expressions that don't fit a Vulcan,
almost like she is going to cry or laugh. Listen to the way she says
"Captain", she says it quickly and with emotion, Tim Russ said it with a
flat monotone.
Big difference.
I just hope this doesn't sink the Star Trek universe. They have already
announce they are cutting Enterprise back to 5 years maximum since even the
producers are having a hard time with the quality.
We shall see if anything comes after that but I have my doubts.

Bear in mind that the Vulcans have advanced over 400 years by the time of
Russ' character. The Vulcans of the 21st century may very well have had a
predisposition to demonstrating facial expressions as a means to compensate
for other emotional expressions they have supressed

The biggest problem with the show is that they failed to touch on one of the
key story arcs in Star Trek history - the Earth/Romulan War. If they were
to deal with that as a tie-in to "Nemesis" coming out of the blocks, then it
may have been interesting enough to bring viewers in for two-three season,
paving the way for more advanced storylines! Instead, they decided to
uncover a conspiracy around every corner in the beginning, boring their
target audience to tears!
As an aside, NOBODY expected TNG to go seven seasons and the only reason DS9
went seven was because it was syndicated and not network. I truly believe
that syndication was Trek's best friend. Teaming up with a network has
never been ST's strong suit (TOS only last two-plus years on NBC if you
recall!)

> We shall see if anything comes after that but I have my doubts.
What I would LOVE to see, and I think Trek fans would be absolutely
fascinated to see, would be a series that deals with a far-future Trek when
the Federation finally falls during hte Temporal Cold War. By this time you
could have the unheard-of concept of a Romulan starship captain trying to
rebuild the Federation (a la Andromeda) I truly believe that this "out the
box" concept would win fans back who have been lost due to Voyagers
meanderings.

Actually, one thing that bugs me about most latter-day Trek is that
the Vulcans seem to be played as constantly angry rather than calm.
Almost all the Vulcans on ENTERPRISE seem to be played this way, and
they're completely missing the point--Nimoy's performance was
brilliant, because it tread that find line of someone reacting with
their intellect, not by furrowing their brow. If Blalock et al would
relax their damn foreheads and be dispassionate in their reactions,
they might begin to put a little more depth into what they're
doing....

started out, and I found the whole idea as nothing but pure trash. The whole

first film to have who would become SPOCK years later.

Fair enough. But as a moderate sci-fi fan, I don't see the lack of appeal
to the show. Farfetched? Undoubtedly. (Especially the host-in-the-waiting-

and the folks-o'-the-week. Yeah, I liked it.
