Hope this isn't old news but....

"We'll be dealing with a different group of aliens, [and] we're going to be dealing with some new, non-Starfleet people coming on the ship to add a little muscle for the potentially violent situations our crew will be coming up against."
"Muscle", eh?

Too little, too late if you ask me.

What do you all think?

Yep, WAY too little FAR too late.

The only way Trek will ever be saved is new direction and Bitch n' Bastard's heads mounted on pikes as a warning to the next ten generations that some things are not to be fucked with.

Shoveling shit onto a sinking boat isn't going to save it.

Enterprise is finished. I wish they would just let it die.

In all fairness, TNG's first season or two stunk pretty badly as well. IMHO, DS9 was even worse. Enterprise could conceivably still become a watchable show.

TNG/DS9 were never so bad for so long as Enterprise has been. B&B could also concievably write a good episode, but we all know the odds on that.

Are they better or worse than the odds of sucessfully navigating an asteroid field???? (4,720,000 to one)

Ten bucks says the muscle is a bunch of idiots with pistols, knives and no tactics.

They've just admitted in the interview that they know jack shit about Star Trek. Like saving Earth never being done before in a series. :roll:

If Paramount reads this shit, they should get canned.

<Protocol droid voice> I beg your pardon sir, but I believe the odds of successfully navigating an asteroid field are 3, 720 to 1. :D

How would that be possible? Berman, having written over 500 episodes, has been involved in Trek business since TNG was launched in 1987 - he was personally picked by Roddenberry himself, for God's sake. Give this guy credit, he may suck in what he does, but he is not a total idiot. I find it hard to impossible to believe that he wouldn't know anything about Star Trek.

Braga on the other hand, once admitted that before starting his work on TNG he had not seen a single episode of TOS. However, he would have some understanding of Trek by now after over ten years of experience. Okay, these two are unable to even maintain intra-series continuity, but would they really say that . . . ?


"For the first time on a Star Trek series, we're going to be dealing with a mission to save Earth," Berman said in an interview.

:shock: Oh well, nevermind . . . Forget what I just said.

*cough*The Best of the Both Worlds*cough*All the Good Things (well, technically - and it was written by Braga!)*cough*

It's all the crack they've been smoking to come up with the crap ideas for Enterprise. Fucks with the memory.

Pfft I just say it's that they have no brain currently because all the damn wanking they do their stuff.

At least crack would've made them come up with funkier ideas.

I think someone needs to get a plunger to finish off this load of crap. The combat already sucks shit like the rest of it, I don't see new characters reverse the trend, just making it more common.

I often hear that old argument about TNG, and DS9 having bad first seasons. I used to believe that, until Voyager came along. Season one went by, and I thought "hmmm, well DS9's first season was bad too." After season two, I thought "well, DS9 and TNG's second seasons were not so hot either." After season three, I thought "oh my god, this shit sucks ass and it's just getting worse. Trek is finished!" And you know what, I was right.

Since we have the same two pieces of human garbage in charge of the franchise, I believe it is safe to say that Enterprise is crap and it is going to remain this way.

Those two cant even maintain continuity between a two-part episode, example: Unimatrix Zero. :roll: As for Bragas experiance, he only worked for TNG for half its run, Voyager, and now Enterprise. He only knows modern Trek, and not even good modern Trek. He was part of a team on TNG, and (thankfully) had nothing to do with Deep Space Nine. Hes simply riding high on the sucess that others have built, people who truly know what Trek is about and who know how to write good TV.
