One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

I am watching Enterprise for thefirst time and it is apparent that Braga or Brennan likes Asian. On almost every episode so far which involves Hoshi in a major role, she had been practically or literally naked at some point.

Also, they really liked recycling scripts; during the 30-so episodes there had been an embarassing amount of "Someone, usually Archer gets captured" or "Enterprise is taken over" episodes. Hell, they even did "Trip gets marooned" and "all but one crewmember is incapacitated" twice in the first 30 episodes.

Imagine your son sleeping with your girlfriend so you decide to slowly die by holding your breath outside the ship for two hours while an earth man who only speaks in movie references tries to calm you down.

Yeah Keiko is fine. Like she is kind of mad her career got ruined because her husband took a promotion that forced them to move. That's a pretty normal and OK reaction in my mind.

I do think Keiko and O'Brien were not a good fit for each other. But that doesn't mean Keiko is the problem. It doesn't mean O'Brien is the problem. They just weren't a good fit.

... And at least four ENT episodes are basically remixes of earlier ones, either TNG or DS9. I think that on the first one and half seasons there are less than 15 episodes which are not rehashes or repeats with an obvious plot twists.


The automated space station episode was cool though.

Yeah, but in addition of that Hoshi does that handbra thing in S1, and takes an actual shower in the S2 transporter episode.

It also seems that Starfleet survival guide also tells you to take your clothes off, avoid shade, and sunbathe while walking across the desert during daytime.

Braga has since admitted that he was super burned out after helming Voyager and should not have taken the Enterprise job

Which you can see with the quality of what shows up on Enterprise for the first two seasons, in particular.

Don't know about being for kids, but IMHO Star Trek tends to get better when it eases off on the grimdark "everything goes from bad to worse all the time"-attitude that seems pervasive to every new TV-show since 90's. Especially on the prestige shows that Star Trek before LDS always was.

I had a cat who didn't care about TV except for when A) My Name Is Earl was on and B) zombie scenes from The Walking Dead.

The second a zombie gasped on the TV, he'd run from the other room, sit on the table, watch raptly, then wander off as soon as the scene was over.

In A Piece of the Action it was a manual wasn't it? Idk if it was an automatic in JJTrek but that would go a long way to explaining it.

Also in the JJ universe he was often partly raised by his uncle who owned said classic car while in the prime universe he had his dad so it's not hard to justify this all.

Kirk takes him on a tour of the Enterprise and he falls into a time hole and winds back in the 1980s and he loving slays, he's an amazing at the entire thing - all that weird business poo poo that doesn't exist any more in C23, he has real friends for the first time, is confident and successful with the ladies. and kirk has to drag him away kicking and screaming because he's loving up the entire future. but it's killing Kirk because this guy who raised him is finally happy and he knows when he goes back it will be worse because he'll know, for a fact, he was born in the wrong century. kirk evenutally has to phaser him, makes bones give him an implant in his liver that makes sure he physically can't OD and sends him home to try to come to terms with it

First episode of Prodigy was OK, but once again I'm struggling to think of any aspect of it that felt like Trek. Very much had the look and pace and vibe of all the recent 'Star Wars' animated shows, e.g. Resistance, Rebels, etc. The villains especially had that vibe. Also reminded me of a show my kid used to like called 'Miles From Tomorrowland'. At least it was well done? Didn't actively offend me with its existence the way 'Discovery' did from practically the first moment.
