1.5 to 3.0

But my feelings about Doomsayers still hover around 99.99

If anything, it'll be the Doomsayers who kill the show, as they killed Voyager. Bad buzz = bad ratings = poor timeslot, poor viewability, too much writer/plot shuffling, desperate attempts to attract nontraditional viewers, etc. = further bad buzz, repeat.

Are you joking when you say VOY is a great show? I hope you are.

I said I had no doubt whatsoever that it would be a great show [before it aired]. Obviously I can't predict worth a shit.

Keep in mind, of course, that we at Flare (as mostly tech fans) are not at all a representative sample of Star Trek fans. Many of us have reservations about the ship or the technology that most fans, frankly, don't give a rat's ass about. As I've mentioned before, the more non-specific Trek sites, like TrekWeb.COM, consistently show roughly 80% approval of Enterprise in their multi-thousand respondent polls. In other words, most of the early buzz on Enterprise is, in fact, positive. Rick Berman was right on.

Oh, and I'm at about a 1.5. I have no problem with anything I've seen so far, but I think the stakes are high and the temptation to eventually screw things up higher still.

Where Brannon Braga is concerned, it's much more than a temptation. It's an inevitability. He's God's gift to Trek, don't you know? The jury is still out as to who had the bigger ego, him or Roddenberry.

Roddenberry I'd say, but he had every right as Trek was his baby.

I was fair fan of Voyager, even though it had its very bad periods, it also had its highs, particularly during the 4th season. But I still don't think it ever equalled the same level of consistent quality achieved by TNG, or DS9 for that matter.

mostly. While some things seem to TNG eraish, the overall idea appeals to me. Here's to hoping the stories are well written!

Man... I haven't posted in a while....

I personally felt that I needed to stay neutral because the way TNG went after the bashing loyal fans gave it before it premiered, it seems to be the same here. However I hate the design of the Enterprise, its totally unorginal, its only there to ctach the viewer's eye. It is eye candy.

Other than that I am hoping that UPN shuts down and some large station like CBS, NBC, ABC, etc would buy the show. The concept is good, the station its on sucks, and the ship sucks, 1 for 3 is ok.

By that logic, you should hate the design of any starship that borrows the configuration of stardrive hull, neck, saucer, and two nacelles. Think about what you type before you type it.

Because Braga ruined TNG, didn't he.

Oh wait...

"However I hate the design of the Enterprise, its totally unorginal, its only there to ctach the viewer's eye. It is eye candy."

My god! How dare they make a ship that's designed to be visually appealing and catch the viewers eye! Of all the henious crimes, this is more henious that Bill S. Preston doing a very henious thing.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

The easiest way to achieve a convincing precessor to make a ship predating the E-nil is to go with a completely different design. Add to this the fact that their were many rumors early on that Eaves was working on a ship so radically different that everyone would be shocked and horrified.

Instead they played it safe with some eye candy that very much resembles a very popular design.

You need to read The_Tom's "Car Trek" topic (in the Enterprise forum), and quit your bitching.
