Mogomra posted:Is that what happened? I just assumed no one thought past the first season. Pretty much. Basically Fuller stepped out to do another show (I want to say it was the short lived Pushing Daises?) and then the main show runner (Kring) decided to swap to "pull whatever you are thinking out of your rear end" screenwriting with zero pre-planning (this REALLY shows with the gaping, gaping plot holes). It's actually hilarious because at peak-train wreck, they got him back, and then tried to hype him as the single-handed savior of the show. He actually DID do a couple of surprisingly good episodes then left again, saying that the writing team was nothing like they once were and were a bunch of massively disorganized gently caress ups that couldn't agree on a single thing, and didn't resemble the group he ran before whatsoever. I absolutely believe the guy. A) That looks nothing at all remotely like the Enterprise and I don't even get why they are trying to do comparisons. B) It still looks absolutely loving awesome. Actually it reminded me way more of this (bonus points if anyone can ID it) with rings attached:

I finished all of Enterprise. It wasn't too horrible and there were several episodes i legitimately enjoyed. I didn't have any major problems until I hit season 4's In A Mirror Darkly I &II. Other than their fantastic changed lead-ins they were absolute garbage. Anything with the Andorians I ended up really liking. My husband even joined me in watching mid-season 3 and all of 4, so it became a nightly thing for us. I am now watching Voyager. I know, I have been warned by previous posts! Right now I am watching 'Time and Again.' Things haven't been too terrible yet. It was mentioned earlier in the thread that Voyager seemed to have a lot of female fans and it may be because of the female captain. The last episode had a moment where Janeway and B'ellana were excitedly figuring out the science of the quantum singularity while the men sat in the background looking a bit bewildered. Goddamn was that refreshing to me. I have not watched much Voyager before, due to being stationed overseas when it aired, but if the show has even just small moments like those scattered throughout, I could see how it would keep women watching. After watching the Enterprise sexualize T'Pol almost constantly, it has been enjoyable not to see that so far in Voyager. I guess that changes when Seven shows up? I agree too, with an earlier poster that it really does feel like TNG, which is a nice change after marathoning 4 seasons of Enterprise. Edit::: um, ok holographic lungs. Now I know what the heck y'all were talking about. Wtf! Svanja fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Jun 12, 2014 |

some youtube comment posted:ha ha, this is that episode where they want to make a crack in an event horizon. which makes as much sense as making a crack in the three point line to make three point slam dunks and layups. That episode is so dumb. The part where they are trying to get back to voyager and they are like "oh poo poo, which ship is the right one?!" is like, wow, no wonder it's taking you so long to get home. You are apparently navigating only by sight and not keeping any navigational records. Do the helmsmen sometimes look at the viewscreen and go "oh gently caress I forgot which star I was flying towards..."

While she was obviously added to increase ratings because SEX APPEAL, they don't actually play that angle too often in the show. But when they do, it's usually cringeworthy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85O6HISsUTk Though on occasion it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8Kf3_KJPtM (Warning: this one is kind of spoiler-ish, because you'll have zero context for it till you see the episode): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjN8WDaPT8k

It got a lot worse by my metric in season 3, when they really should have been finding their place and instead balanced pretty awkwardly in between creating an arc story with the Xindi plot and having the philosophical dilemma of the week. Archer has started to grate on me, the Trip/T'Pol thing gets more and more annoying, and I don't particularly like the military group as a plot point. I still have a good eight or so episodes left in season 3 and then season 4, though. Then I have JJ Trek, which probably won't be great but has to be better than Voyager. Good luck/RIP.

I enjoyed late season 3, let me know how it goes with you! I am also a dirty JJ Trek lover, so I'm biased there. I've watched the first one several times and the second one about 4 times. I would say its better than Voyager! **watches Seven videos*** Oh my word...this should be interesting.

Especially that little look of surprise Seven gives the Doctor when he starts doing the harmony thing.Even if the show was kind of bland and mediocre and is saddled with some of the most wasted potential, they still had a few good scenes and episodes. Like BRIDE OF CHAOTICA! for example. Generally it's episodes where the actors get to actually have a little fun that are the better ones.

Final Frontier is on one of the millions of movie channels I get. I never noticed before just how many neon tubes there are in this movie. There is neon everywhere. And it's all ugly and pastel like you'd find in a supermarket. Like the Federation got this great deal on discount pink neon tubes and just decided to stick them everywhere.

I'm pretty sure it was one of the Chaotica episodes, but I seem to recall that Voyager lost power while they were playing in the holodeck and the lights flickered. Like, the lights in the simulation flickered. It made no goddamn sense. The light just comes from the holographic projection which remained stable. Did the program decide that since the lights went down in the reset of the ship that it should adapt the simulation to do the same?
