And I suspect it won't last as long as Voyager. I don't recall how good Voyager's ratings were overall, but I'm sure it would have been cancelled at one point if it were not the network's original flagship show. Enterprise doesn't have that luxury, and it certainly doesn't do a good job at keeping my attention. I vote for Trek novels. :/ <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Mucus</b> <br /><small>Member # 24</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2004,1,15,18,54,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">February 15, 2004</span> <span class="timeformat-0">06:54 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I think the question is a bit irrelevant.<br /><br />Yes, I'd have to be forced to agree that Enterprise is more entertaining than Voyager, and the writing is mildly better. Unfortunately, I feel that that reflects more poorly on Voyager, than favourably on Enterprise.<br /><br />Enterprise as a whole seems to be taking the wrong risks. In trying to appeal to a wider audience, it doesn't seem to be succeeding. For every "edgy and current" scene, there are a dozen other shows that can do that better. At the same time, its not depicting particularly interesting science fiction.<br /><br />Yes, on a point by point checklist its not worse than Voyager, or in some ways even TNG. But ST is not working in a vacuum, the TV landscape has changed whether people agree its for better or for worse. Doing the same thing that worked more than a decade ago won't work now.<br /><br />Just as a thought experiment, imagine if TNG started its run now. I submit that it would not do well. I also submit that making it "edgier" by having Picard fight intergalactic terrorists or Riker giving Troi a massage in the decon chamber won't work either.<br /><br />Honestly, I don't know what will "work". But I do know, this isn't it. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Sol System</b> <br /><small>Member # 30</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2004,1,16,2,41,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">February 16, 2004</span> <span class="timeformat-0">02:41 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Picard did that twice!
