Well it was pre-empted in many markets for the debates, and was bound to hurt viewership. Besides, it may take people a week or two to find it in its new slot. Too early to count them out yet, considering what the series has gone through =/JME2 wrote:They'll probably try to blame it on the presidental debates.Dark Primus wrote:Wow Enterprise has already lost 25% of its viewers.

'Storm Front, Pt I'
I'd give this ep a C+, the + added just for trying hard, which for me means an utterly average time-waster, the sort of thing you watch once and then start forgetting about as soon as it's over. The only thing that grabbed me in any way whatsoever was the one line about temporal stealth technology or agents or something like that--I'd never heard anything quite like it before and the way it came out made me chuckle (albeit inappropriately--I don't think it was meant to be funny). I was most put off by the obvious reset dying Daniels alluded to. That just destroyed any smidgeon of anxiety I might have had about the plotline otherwise and made it even more of a yawner.
The switch to digital video this season is noticeable on the TV I watch this thing on, although thank gawd not as cruddily so as earlier video incarnations like the movie OVERDRAWN AT THE MEMORY BANK. It's more that the effects simply seem to stand out more than they once did and occasionally seem more simply rendered. Maybe I ought to turn down the contrast and sharpness on the TV picture, or tape the show and watch it at home on a much smaller TV screen...bet that'd 'fix' things!
I used to keep track of ENT throughout its first and second seasons by letting other people watch it for me and then tell me about it. It's only the third season that I've actually watched so far and that was mainly for the Xindi, the lot of whom I found hilarious (at their best/worst, they compared favourably with my Berlin relatives
). I dunno yet about this season...there doesn't seem to be much there at the moment that's to my tastes. Ah well, I suppose I could always just let the actual viewing slide once again and instead depend on my more ENT-friendly pals and reading the recaps over at sites like televisionwithoutpity. At least with those folks I can always depend on a couple of good ENT-related laughs, even if the episode per se being discussed sucks.
