I just wish TNG had the benifit of today's writers, directors and most of all special effects.

Are the writers of 1990 all dead then?

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Because today's writers and directors always get everything right, right?

Welllllll No, they sure dont, but even Hoshi's most plaintive whining sounds FAR more believable than anything Troi ever spouted out onscreen.
Marina Sirtis makes her mentor (Calculon) so proud.

Even episodes like "A Night in Sickbay" far outshine almost any "holodeck adventure" IMHO.

It's just that lumping all seven years of TNG on the same pile after a single modestly good season of ENT may not be the most reliable sequitur ever, you know?

I suppose, but we cant really compare untill Enterprise's seven years are up.
Comparing just the first three seasons, I'd still give it to Enterprise as a better overall series.
TNG never really got into full gear untill later (fourth-fifth season for me) while more is expected of Enterprise.

Back to Spiner, I would'nt be suprised if a great many former-Trek cast are Enterprise fans: look at how many of them direct episodes [Wink]

"...the equally boring and silly 'pirate adventure' that was resolved by thinking happy thoughts..."

I don't know about pirates, but the only "happy thoughts" plot I can think of is TOS' "Day of the Dove".

I refer to the "aincent Vulcan superweapon" that does dick if you're opponent can relax and clear their thoughts of violent feelings.

Again with your chicken fetish.....

"Korgano" was one of the characters Data was posessed by when Enterprise D encountered a space library that started turning whole decks of the ship into a temple and....
Fuck it.
If you missed the episode, you're better off. [Wink]

I quite liked the sets in that one. Even if they were done on the cheap and only the interior of the ship got Azteched.

Notice a total lack of crew (extras) in that episode?

"Cheap" is right. [Roll Eyes]

Oh, right. "Gambit".

"'Korgano' was one of the characters Data was posessed by when Enterprise D encountered a space library that started turning whole decks of the ship into a temple and...."

So, you couldn't remember it was called "Masks". And yet, of all the ways you could have described it, you picked some obscure character name that no-one would recognize.
