I have returned from Edmonton after seeing the season finale of Enterprise! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Know what? I didn't mind it. There were definitely some parts that I enjoyed and other parts that I know would have been better if this wasn't a family show. And other parts that could have just been done better over all.Its hard to put a finger on it, but the pre-credits segment of Enterprise always sucks. I don't know if its general directorial issues or somethign specific. The beginning of this episode should have said "wow, look at that!" Instead it was rather weak.I liked the scene where the enterprise was assisted by other federation ships. We've all wondered what kind of ships there are back home. It was a fun battle to watch.I like how there were real consequeneces. 7 million people is a whole lot. But somehow, that huge fact seemed to be glossed over throughout the show. Maybe its because there were no scenes of the massive rescue effort or really any sign of the incident other than a big hole in the ground.The scene with the vulcans going crazy almost made me laugh. It was basically a PG (not even) version of the "insane spaceship crew" scene from Event Horizon. It could have been done a lot better. As it is, it seemed quite camp.The special effects were attrocious down on earth. Trip and Malcolm looked like they were on the set of Reboot while overlooking the valley of destruction.Time travel is <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />e. I wish they'd have done away with it altogether when moving on to this new direction.Now I've got a headache so thats all the criticism I can manage for now. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> But as I said, I still did enjoy this episode. It was reasonably effective and the klingon aspect of it worked well enough. Hopefully we'll see more hard action from Capt. Gentlefingers and less pussyfooting and genuflecting.</blockquote>
