[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] [QUOTE] I probably won't have a big problem with Vulcan ranks, ships that were not on the recreation deck, or Klingon foreheads. It's the writer's "creativity" that's giving me a headache. [/QUOTE] Agreed. If there is to be criticism about [i]Enterprise[/i], it should first and foremost be concerned with this stuff, and not ridiculous little details that have a minimal impact on the overall quality of the series. [QUOTE]If we let the same people do "Enterprise", they will run out of original ideas even faster. It will either get darn boring to see how the Enterprise spends months to travel from planet to planet - or they will begin to present some exciting "anomaly-of-the-week" or other plots that should be set at a later time. Wrong place, wrong time for such stories.[/QUOTE] The thing is, the only "same people" we know of on the production/writing/creating arm are Berman and Braga. And while I'll be the first to say they've made mistakes in the past and couldn't stabilize Voyager and make it popular and consistently good, that shouldn't nullify some of the excellent work they've done in the past. Every single episode of Deep Space Nine, which tends to be held (rightfully, IMHO) in higher regard than Voyager around here had Rick Berman executive producing it, as did the vast majority of TNG. Braga's had hits and misses, no question, but the vast majority of the criticism levelled at him is quite unfounded. As for the rest of the creative staff, who knows who they'll bring in. Might one or two Voyager writers be back? Possibly. Needless to say, writers are incredibly inconsistent things. Ira Stephen Behr did little by way of producing blockbusters when he did TNG, did a lot of good work on DS9, but also gave us a clatter of Ferengi comedies that ranged from good to "Profit and Lace". Michael Piller ranged from "The Best of Both Worlds" to "Insurrection" to "Tattoo." So if a grand total of two old faces are on the Enterpise writing staff, let's not condemn the series and believe it only will repeat old plotlines. All signs seem to point to there being a concerted effort to rid the series of "anomoly of the week." Bakula apparently hates that sort of stuff, and I think that B & B are using the fresh canvas of a prequel to push the focus away from weird tech and back towards the TOS/TNG style of thoughful television. Will the trend hold? I can't make any promises, and yeah, I honestly wouldn't be at all surprised if we do meet quantum fissures and temporal rifts once in a while. But I'm not going blast the show for sins it has yet to commit. [/QB][/QUOTE]
