[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 1403344, member: 115"] I didn't think it was terrible, but yeah, the time travel stuff bothered me. Mostly I think it's because the writers don't stop and think how to write a good story using time travel - either it's a convenient plot device (like today) or it's a way to save money (Detroit, to reference T'Pol). What I liked - more inter-Xindi conflict. It's fairly obvious that the Insectoids are bossing around [i]some[/i] of the other species, and they aren't all evil. Actually needing to write a translating program between Insectoid and Human. More referencing back to events that happened before, if but a throw-away line. What I didn't - the whole attack on Enterprise looked terrible (the interior scenes). Archer being able to make an impression on what is essentially his first meeting with the humanoids. The whole scene with Daniels, especially the cheese factor of having Xindi on board. I pretty much feel the same, I just rant more. :p On the last point though, about the directors, Trek is well known to be a springboard for new writers and directors to cut their teeth on and then move on to other projects. I would be a good deal of writers and directors working on sci-fi/fantasy shows today have worked on Trek in some form or another. [/QUOTE]
