[QUOTE]Originally posted by MIB: [QB] Please forgive the bad spelling and punctuation. I wrote this in a very quick manner so I can pride my self with posting the very first Enterprise review on Flare. :D The premier was quite interesting. As expected, Berman re-wrote just about everything established in TOS in the very first episode and overall, it didn't fit with the "normal" Star Trek timeline, however, IMO, it did provide an interesting story involving the Sebulan and these shodowy guys from the future. (Evil Braxton from series ? maybe??) The special effects were good and I discovered that the Enterprise wasn't that identical from the Akira class ship. However, they still do look similar. The Enterprise can apparently take one hell of a beating despite the fact that it doesn't have any shields. Basically the whole thing starts when a Klingon ship crash lands at a farm with 2 Sebulan operatives chasing him. After a spine chilling display from one of the Sebulan flatening itself out to slip under a door, the Klingon manages to kill them both only to get blasted by a local farmer. The klingon survived and while Archer and company was trying to get him back to his homeworld they waste no time in letting him get kidnapped by the Sebulan. After a trip to Rigel 10 (a planet that is undoubtably part of the galactic 3rd world) and Archer getting shot in the leg by a Sebulan phaser, the crew finds out that the Klingon was trying to get a message to the Klingon Empire informing them that rouge factions of the Empire haven't been staging the attacks against other rouge factions or something like that. :D It was the Sebulans all along. Now the crew of the Enterprise must find the Klingon. They follow a Sebulan ship to their home base inside a large Gas/liquid planet where they promptly find the kidnapped Klingon inside a not-so-massive structure mad from seemingly hundreds of tiny Sebulan fighters. After capturing a fighter the crew pulls the whole Trojan Horse thing to infiltrate the base, grab the Klingon and bolt! A while later they deliver the Klingon to the homeworld. I'm not gonna bore you with other details, but over all it was a good story and it's obviously not the last we've seen of the Sebulan or their shadowy leader. If I may suggest one thing, if it's not too late for you. Don't have dinner while watching this episode of Enterprise. Especally during the scene where Archer prides himself with his first Sebulan kill on Enterprise and Phlox decided to pride himself with his first Sebulan disection on Enterprise! YEE-HAW! :D Good points: Good story. Kick ass effects. The Enterprise wasn't so Akira-like as previously thought. A good dose of T@A during the Rigel 10 scenes. (a.k.a. the galactic third world.) Kick ass cameo from Ol' Z as Lily would call him. (Was that the same actor from ST:FC or somebody else?) Bad points: Berman, to nobody's surprise, re-wrote everything that has been established in TOS. (phasers, transporters, early first contact with the Klingons, the fact that we even MADE contact with the Sebulan ect. ect.) T'Pol is rather touchy and emotional one moment and just like a typical Vulcan the next. Typical mood-swings that are associated with Vulcan PMS? Overall 1-10 rating: 8 Aside from the fact that Berman decided to ignore what had been established in the previous series, he has done quite well with the Enterprise preimer. However, I'm not celebrating just yet! I think all of you remember that the Voyager premier was quite good too, and just look what happened! Bon apetite!!! Or something similar. [/QB][/QUOTE]
