[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] So, in the wake of the cancellation of Enterprise, I see they have given Braga one more shot at making a Star Trek show. And I thought Enterprise was a brutal punch in the fan gut! Once again, they leave the words "Star Trek" completely out of the title, but that's the least of it. This time, they don't even have a starship! But OK. So apparently, according to this, before the Vulcans, Earth is contacted by a weird space probe thing (possibly connected to the probe from Star Trek IV, in the only nod to continuity I could see) which sends out a signal mutating some folks. Starfleet Command (which, in a ludicrous act of "hipping up the franchise," has been renamed "the Department of Homeland Security," as if that's a believable agency name) gathers together a team of what I guess are supposed to be their best and brightest, because Data is on it at least, but who are these other people? They don't bother to wear traditional color-coded uniforms, so I have no idea what they're supposed to be doing. Anyway, a few more specific nitpicks: Their linguist is much shorter than average. Does Braga expect us to just [b]forget[/b] that the Federation has access to the perfect anti-shortness technology as seen in Star Trek V: hovershoes? And Data is worried about being infected by the alien n-dimensional mutato-signal, but come on, that won't be able to crack his positronic network. Not even the Borg could do that! Not to mention that the episode seems to treat him almost as if he is another character altogether! I can only shake my fists at the southern horizon and distant Los Angeles beyond. ((Oh man, have I been waiting a long time for that. I think the joke was funnier in my head, though. But, like, OK, for serious: Did anyone see this? I suspect most people were watching SG-1 and Battlestar, but for those of you with this Tivo thing I hear about on the radio, or who, like me, get east coast cable feeds and thus would have been done with those shows already when 9:00 PM rolled around. I didn't get to catch most of it, actually, for a few boring reasons, but I watched some snippets, and it seemed OK, from what I could see.)) [/QB][/QUOTE]
