[QUOTE]Originally posted by Stingray: [QB] I thought it was okay. My friends who were much more casual viewers (remember that wider audience base we were always talking about?) thought it was okay. The writing was somewhat wooden. Bakula's acting was great and his writing was above par with everybody else. I fear we may end up getting many many shows focusing on a single person to the exclusion of others again. Blalock was good, definetely emotional, but I liked where Archer would catch her in the act. All the Vulcans seemed perpetually pissed off at humans. Not the kind of relationship that you think humans would tolerate for a hundred years. They were most likely just pissed off for that particular event, but we should've gotten some better scenes regarding the status quo relationship of human/Vulcans. Other characters were excellent and would be outstanding if the writing was better. Billingsly did a fantastic job, but his makeup still irks me as being too human. They've done extensive regular character make up before (Worf, Data, Neelix, etc.) that would go a long way for him. Sets were very nice. I like the entire of the Akiraprize. Though Trek AG shouldn't produce a sweet spot, I'll let that nitpick go for the time being. Special effects were incredible. I like the ship out of context with the other series. I'm willing and able to watch this show and not get mad about the ship, but my feelings about it's creativity and lineage remain unchanged. Overall, there was nothing special about the plot. No great premise was set up really. Klingon first contact didn't turn out as horribly as we were lead to believe. We only get the vaguest of notions about the EFG. And at least I got the impression that they weren't interested in Archer/Akiraprize at all. "We don't want to involve the humans. Not yet anyway." The sentence and its tone make it abundantly clear that they are after somebody else. And story wise, where is the fun in that? I laughed: At the gel scene. Just because it was completely ludicrous. At Phlox's line where he sounded exactly like those guys from Galaxy Quest. The worst thing besides the gel scene: The couple of flashback scenes with Archer as a kid w/ his father and the model spaceplane. Once again: Star Trek + children = crap. Thankfully, there were very few of such scenes. Conclusion: The writing needs to get better, but there is a lot of potential. If the writing were to get on par with TNG or (dare I even suggest it as a possibility) DS9, then we would have one outstanding show. [/QB][/QUOTE]
