"Walk faster. Faster!"
"I'm walking as fast as I can, Captain!"
"Enemy has increased pace to match."
"Ensign, image over shoulder."
"Image over shoulder now, Captain."
"My God. Look at them. Their legs--"
"Longer than ours, Captain, and seemingly inexhaustible. They could follow us indefinitely."
"Why the game of cat and mouse, then? Why not simply get it over with?"

I'm a lovable meme.

I was never big into Star Trek, other than catching a few episodes of TNG as a kid and then later on some of the new movies. Oh well, and later on Discovery and the new one.



Girlfriend made me start watching an entire watch list with the good episodes for all the series. Starting with The Cage. Made it all the way to the time traveling whale. Now we're into the second season of Enterprise. It loving rocks. Enterprise is so weird in that everyone talks like a hilly billy and the show is corny AF, but it just rocks regardless.

The main problem with ENT is that it gets better on S3, and much, much better on S4.

ENT is better than most people give it credit for. However, being salty about spending the first two seasons recycling old VOY/TNG/DS9 episodes or doing constant "shuttle is stranded" or "Bridge crew member is captured" -episodes instead of being interesting is something I can definitely agree on, I also first watched during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Especially considering that we know what the new showrunner had cooked up for S5 that never happened, and for example how Mayweather as a character was botched from the beginning by going with an eyecandy that had questionable acting skills, instead of using the original concept that was seasoned space trucker veteran who had a clue about what goes on in the local clusters.

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."
ENT is only good in retrospect imo, as the last star trek to really do a trek thing until SNW.

at the time I barely could keep track of season 3 and the finale completely destroyed my interest in watching season 4; I never watched it until 15 years later.

Yes, ENT is gaining places simply by being "not as bad as some of the new ones".

But considering ENT as itself, the first two seasons are just too filled up with boring rehashes of stories already told, and more stupidly, stories already told by the show itself. For example, maybe Archer should stop leaving the ship since he always is captured. The forced-upon-by-executives temporal war plot didn't help, since it didn't really go anywhere and Daniels was terrible at his job.

The last season is a testament to the dullness; "this is fun and interesting, why wasn't it like this on the first 50+ episodes?"

Some of us still haven't seen most of ToS so they don't always look like rehashes. vOv

And of course Daniels is bad at his job. It's very rare that some Other Starfleet Officer is competent. Most of the plots are cleaning up after the mess of some admiral or something.

Mayweather's actor managed to be far more interesting in the mirror episodes, but I mean, bad hammed acting is part of the charm of that whole bit so it fits.

Now Ensign by being posted on the Enterprise you agree to the following:

1) Be subject to at least 1 extremely dangerous anomaly/alien species/technological catastrophe per week

2) A greater than 75% chance of being seriously injured or killed by an alien visitor onboard due to our oddly lax security

3) Be seduced by any or all of Riker/Spock/Troi

4) Any other non-specific danger that Captain Kirk/Picard/Archer deems necessary in order to satisfy their curiosity and/or the curiosity of their senior staff

Holodeck training is a six week course full of Red Asphalt-like videos. By the third day, everyone has caught on that all the footage if from the Enterprise.

Weeks 4 and 5 are dedicated entirely to Barclay's usage.

Moriarty is mentioned on the final day and is not asked about in the final exam.

I materialise in my living room at the end of the 90s. I bond with my young self. Then my younger self challenges me to reveal something about the future that will blow my mind.

"They kill off Data twice and you don't even care. Also Q has a cameo in My Little Pony".


edit:

After writing this I spontaneously decided to order I Am Spock by Leonard Nimoy. Because writing this post made me think of the anecdote that lead to it (I Am Spock) being written, i.e. the execs thought Nimoy hated Spock and worked to get him killed off.

Barclay should make a surprise appearance on Picard S3, as a suave, charming socialite whose parties are the talk of the town. The crew immediately assume he's been taken over by aliens again and start scanning for anaphasic lifeforms or whatever, but nope, it turns out he's just finally conquered his demons. :unsmith:
