This is what I've been waiting for!

Okay.. just the opening titles alone makes me love this episode. I figure they must have done this because they knew they were cancelled already when the episode went into production.

It figures they finally dump the cheezy love song for a good theme and it's at the end of the run Ah the squandered potential.. if only this were year one rather than year four.

I really hate Paramount right now. Enterprise is finally (after so many years) worth watching and it's far too late to matter.

ya, the opening was great!!

 

[Truth Seeker]

Hey...be quiet, baseball overshadowed the time slot.

The only thing more worthless than baseball is this dumbass team our taxes are paying for in D.C.

This episode was SWEET!

I loved the alternate First Contact, along with the opening.

I was really drooling when I was watching it.

Although, what rebellion were they talking about?

I thought ZC breaking out the shotgun was awesome!

was a fun episode to watch and I didn't feel that it was complete rip-off of TOS ...


someone's probably gonna go 'spock' ... and maybe think of a different direction for the Empire (when Kirk got the idea of exploration instead of conquest into evil-spock's head)

Somehow I don't think they will. I suspect that the resolution will only effect the mirror universe. I have faith that the Reeves-Stephens and Mr. Coto will not sell away the good will they earned this year by breaking that rule but who knows.

The unfortunate thing is after a season of really well written, well developed issues we will end on some stupid flashback TNG crap staring the now old and overweight Riker... *sigh*

Star Trek is dead... Long live Star Trek.

There is always the fan series.. at least they understand the audience.

Go New Voyages!




...hey, if anyone would like to donate, I wouldn't mind funding a fan-production. I already made a Star Wars fanfilm (planning to make a sequel this summer).
