Being a forum newbie i thought i'd start as always on the wrong foot......

Does anyone else out there think that Enterprise really isn't all it's cracked up to be?

I guess that depends on what people expect from the show. I expected it to be decent and so far it's just that. I enjoy watching it for the most part when I completely ignore any mention and act involving the neverending time travel.

Picard: Mr. Crusher, what's our maximum speed this week?
Wesley: [checking manual] Uh, 9.4, sir.
Picard: Very good. Take us to Warp 9.8 then.
Wesley: Aye, sir. Warp 9.2 it is.

ok then we'll carry on here, but the question remains, what have they done to a series that should have been so much more....?

Every week (when i bothered wathing every week that is..) I was left with an overwhelming feeling of dissatisfaction at the over acting, too modern stylisation of the ship and the pitiful attempts to gain more viewers by making the cast more 'sexy'.

C'mon Trip running round the ship in his underpants saving the crew from the Ferengi...

...T'Pol rubbing decontamination jelly overself revealing rather a lot of breast ...

I'm only human I can see the appeal but really I expected more.

I'm not saying I hate the show- but I was somewhat dissapointed that it turned out to be nothing more light entertainment on a sunday afternoon, it sits there side by side with scrapheap challenge it'll do to watch if theres nothing better on.

It sounds like you've missed this whole season, wich has had many moments on par with the very best of Trek.

What's an "overself"?

Like any series, Enterprise has its good points and bad points. TNG and DS9 had the bad points too. I enjoy it for the most part, but take it for what it is. It's not going to change my conception of reality or leave me up three nights straight drooling over it's greatness, but it's got enough mystery in it to keep me watching. It's got good FX and good production design. It is what it is. It also happens to have something that only DS9 has had in the past... a continuing plot arc.

Plus, there's always the chance that T'Pol will rub jelly overself again.

Bah, I'm not convinced, sorry guys, I guess more of Trip running round in his starfleet standard issue underpants wouldn't be all that bad.....

After watching Ent for a while I couldn't put myself in to the 'Elseworld' frame of mind to continue abusing my TV that way.

The concept is a good idea, the execution of the concept seems to leave a lot to desire....

In the series finale I can see Archer waking up as a kid having had one heck of a dream.... or leaping....

NooB! Let the smitting begin!

I rather enjoy Enterprise. I'm sure if I had millions of dollars in cash, access to state of the art production equipment and top-notch talent I could do better but I don't.

So I sit back and enjoy. And then I rip up dubmarse NooBs who log on with nothing better to do than complain.

At least, Archer hasn't gone to a planet that looks exactly like Earth and fought in Roman Gladiatorial Combat.

Roddenberry himself said "The Enterprise is a vehicle in a very real sense. Not in the sense that it's an actual starship flying in space, but that it's a vehicle for telling stories".

While the Trek story arcs (like the Xindi) are nice, not all stories fit well and I like to think of them as anthology stories that are set in the same setting, but don't relate to each other.

So... this is just an "Enterprise Sucks" thread, then, huh?

But, you do have access to millions of dollars...
