Never change. ENT, on the other hand, could stand to change. I am limping toward the end of season one. There's just so few characters I'm interested in. Archer is aggressively uninteresting, which is a remarkable thing to so with an actor like Scott Bacula since he's pretty good at mild comic acting. Maybe he's just too mild-mannered to be a badass spaceship captain. My wife keeps saying, "I don't want to salute that man. I want to give him a hug."

I think the thing that makes the show uncomfortable to watch for me is witnessing Scott Bakula basically struggling to figure out what the gently caress he is supposed to be doing practically every single moment. I really sense him discovering on camera that the writers didn't know what to do with his character the entire run.

I'm reminded of that image from reddit posted earlier in the thread, about how zany the federation is. Ent blew the opportunity to show a ship full of space rednecks (honestly, that's what humans are compared to vulcans) getting in weird loving situations and then having to report back to earth. "You found WHAT? And then the ship fell through a portal to WHERE? And now we're at war with WHO?!?"

ENT should have doubled down on something. Anything. The big problem with the show is that it tries on a lot of hats, but doesn't want to buy one. It's sort of a prequel about the birth of the Federation, but oh hang on let's put some fanservice from the sequels there like the Borg and Ferengi and " gently caress Enterprise. Jonathan W Archer would have been a much better show.

Basically this, but for everyone involved with the production instead of just Scott Bakula. skasion fucked around with this message at 19:56 on Oct 24, 2016 |

I'm another person who also recently started watching Enterprise and yeah, I'm finding it very lukewarm so far. At least VOY had the Doctor and also Janeway who turned into a real force of nature by the end of the show. With ENT I'm having a hard time caring about... pretty much anyone. It also seems really anticlimactic to have this weird Human Values vs. Vulcan Values subplot when we all know they're gonna be best friends next century. Oh also here's some aliens that are super important to the early Federation but that you'll never see again in the "future".

This never bothered me because that's the way the world works. Who were the major players in Europe 300 years ago? England, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Prussia, and the Ottoman Empire? Germany, Italy, the United States, (modern) Russia, and the United Kingdom didn't even exist.

Sash! posted:This never bothered me because that's the way the world works. Meanwhile, DS9 trip report. I've gotten up to The Wire and then the mirror universe episode. The Wire is amazing in all ways. Garak is a hell of a character to the point of being perhaps my favorite individual Star Trek character. It also gave Bashir a lot of weight and gravitas which his goofy rear end has usually been lacking when he isn't in a fully functional role. Of course he immediately throws it all away to nag at Kira in... Mirror Universe Episode (didn't catch the title) was much less awful than I had expected. While Kira did camp it up, I felt like this was simply her due as someone who has to work with Avery Brooks. Kira (the normal Kira) is an interesting character and in a way I think she is defined by her limits, in a way which is rather rare. She is not somehow built in to be destined for greatness: she is comfortable in a subordinate role and indeed at times in season 1 it felt like Sisko was kind of browbeating her (although he browbeats everyone at times).

Between DS9 chat and chat about how much Archer is a human potted plant, this has been a rough page for my will to continue ENT. Maybe I'll look up a watch list because god drat do I have better poo poo to do than the sci fi equivalent of watching paint dry.

I don't have quite the visceral hatred of the NX-refit concept, but some of the story concepts I remember hearing about for the fifth season were really groan-worthy.
