[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] First of all, Timelord needs to put in some $$$. Okay. Timelord pretty much dismisses the whole "Is Kirk's the first Enterprise" argument? He shows no place where anyone has firmly said that Kirk's ship was the first Starship Enterprise. At best, he can make the point that Kirk's was the first in the Federation Starfleet. Since we're dealing with the Earth Starfleet, I don't see the conflict. Now, regarding Enterprise's design ... Timelord should go read The_Tom's "Car Trek" thread. As I've pointed out before ... I drive a Jeep Wrangler. It bears a striking resemblence to the GP Willy built in the 1940's. However, I'm not accusing people of going back in time and ripping off the Wrangler's design. While it's certainly one thing to say that maybe the ship designer was a bit unoriginal in modeling Enterprise on the Akira-Class, it is not un-cannon to assume that the Akira-Class is modelled on the Enterprise style. I mean, aren't the Galaxy-, Excelsior-, and Ambassador- classes all based on design features of Kirk's Enterprise as well? The uniforms borrow much more from the TOS movies, although the rankpips are taken directly from the 24th Century series. Still, this isn't a major deal. The design of the uniforms is different enough ... and I don't hear Timelord bitching because Voyager uses jumpsuits too. This is the stupidest point he could've made. A retread of the Kirk/Spock relationship ... let's see ... like Picard/Data? Janeway/Seven? Sisko/Odo? Every Star Trek series has had a character (or several) who represents an alien view to humanity. I suppose you could bitch about her being Vulcan, but, er, did you bitch about Tuvok? And given the timeframe this series is set in, who would be more believable? No one but a Vulcan. I'm sorry you don't like the music. Here Timelord shows his inconsistency by blasting Enterprise for first being un-original, and then being original to something never done for a Star Trek series before. At least be consistent. Personally, I like the opening credits ... but I'd like a monologue. You are aware, aren't you, that Rick Berman ran TNG for most of the time it was on the air? That he co-created DS9? Okay, he gave us Voyager, but to ignore his history at Paramount is just plain stupid. Braga did an excellent job at TNG, too, or did you not like "Parallels?" [/QB][/QUOTE]
