I get in my uniform, I sit down, I line up all my action figures, and we all watch the show together. And to be honest, they enjoy it even more than I do!"
What a fucking nerd. There are only a couple months left until Enterprise is back, so I better get my yellow uniform out of storage and prepare myself.

Sounds like UPN asked him to do some positive PR spinning for the show. Either that or, God forbid, he's actually being serious.

Here's a crazy idea. What if he was joking? I mean, I realize that's a completely mind-blowing notion, but still...
"Kate Mulgrew's (Kathryn Janeway) question and answer session reportedly generated some controversy. According to a report at StarTrekHQ.com, Mulgrew, the wife of Tim Hagen, the Democratic candidate for Ohio governor in 2002, attacked President George W. Bush and urged fans to vote for John Kerry instead."
Holy shit! A private citizen expressed a political opinion! What the fuck is going on?!

Well, I'm sure that if it weren't for the liberal media elite we'd hear about Republicans advocating the re-election of a Republican president all the time. Oh, wait. . .

I prefer to think he was being completely serious about it.

I cant see how anyone from TNG could look at Enterprise and not like it: Enterprise has a great story arc (last season anyhow), incredible effects and solid acting....alll things that would've really made TNG great instead of just several great episodes focusing on mainly Picard, Data and Worf.

i cannot find any validity in this contention.

Then you should watch anything TNG focusing on Alexander, Troi, Geordi's mom, Exo-comps or the crew mutating into monsters....

THere were at least five focusing on Alexander alone and six or seven focusing on Troi, her mom and her blocked memories of a sister or some shit...then you've got 90% of first season, 80% of seventh season (particularly bad was that whole "Korgano" nonsense), their boring time-travel two-parter, the equally boring and silly "pirate adventure" that was resolved by thinking happy thoughts, Descent (both parts) was so horrible as to boggle the mind, The Child was abyssimal (and a Troi episode) and the worst episode of Trek of all time: Dr. Crusher's "scottish ghost romance" episode.
Stack these up against what we've seen on Enterprise and you'll see that the latest show is far surpassing TNG (as of teir third season, at any rate).
TNG has some amazing episodes, but fans want to only focus on those when someone compares Enterprise (or even Voyager) to it.
