[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] [QUOTE] They will need new technology (the famous [tech]), as well as new aliens (Westmore needs work) and new phenomena (acually many of the "phenomena" episodes are among my favorites when the ideas were still fresh). [/QUOTE] Well, DS9 had about seven phenomena in seven years ("Q-Less," "Playing God," "Rejoined," "Meridian," "Children of Time," "Time's Orphan" and "One Little Ship" are the only ones that come to mind.) and didn't introduce a single new alien race after season 4. Just because Voyager had an excess of both of the above doesn't mean Enterprise will be doomed to follow on. While admittedly a starship show will be more likely to have aliens of the week, I'm personally quite OK with seeing a few faces we haven't seen in TOS or TNG/DS9. It's a big galaxy, (after all, we basically never saw any races from TOS again aside from the Klingons, Vulcans and Romulans) and adding a few more faces won't ruin it for me. Yeah, seeing Andorians would be great, but I wouldn't consider the alien issue a cataclysmic show-wrecker. As for the [tech] issue, I'm mildly encouraged by the producers' acknowlegement that excessive technobabble is distracting and should be trimmed, as well as the resulting downward swing of technobabble concentration in the last 2 seasons of Voyager. (At least, I've noticed it.) Here's hoping that this trend will continue into Enterprise. Bakula is reportedly on record as strongly against technobabble. It's another wait-and-see issue, I guess.
