[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phelps: [QB] Michael Piller wrote "The Best of Both Worlds", both parts, by himself. You can't pick his worst effort and judge him by that, because I could just as well pick one of his best. You have to look at the facts. When Michael Piller came to TNG, he looked at the show and decided that from the third season on, every episode will have to be about a character. That's the way the writing team worked from that point onwards. As far as many people can see, it's not the way Voyager worked, where the characters usually would take a backseat to spatial anomalies and time travel. And I didn't say that "everything good Braga wrote was due to Moore helping...". I believe Braga can write characters if someone asks him to do that, but that it's not his favorite part of writing. Braga has been credited with introducing a faster pace and a feature-quality to Voyager, and that's good, but it rarely became more than that. Of course it's hip to dislike "Enterprise" -- with all the budget it has, why can't it be more like B5? Or X-Files? Or Sopranos? Or the Simpsons? All these shows are very well written, with great characters and stories. Every great writer, from JMS to Harlan Ellison says the same thing about today's Trek. People are crazy about the Sopranos nowdays -- I haven't seen anything like it in America, though I question the morals of making a show about a mafia family. Everybody was crazy about X-Files for a while, too, though it's science fiction. And Buffy. And the Simpsons, which is a cartoon, something usually thought of as kid stuff! I just went to get the new Simpsons DVD boxed set, and it was sold out! In both stores I looked at. I only managed to get the last copy. Let's see this happening with Enterprise. [/QB][/QUOTE]
