[QUOTE="Mallus, post: 900613, member: 3887"] It bored me. By then end I was paying greater attention to my battered copy of "Santiago: A Myth of the Far Future". Great book. One of the most fun SF adventures ever written. The episode still felt inert to me, despite all of the action they tried to pack into it. They really need so new writers, and directors... I think the teaser with Earth getting all carved up was one of the dullest FX sequences I've ever seen. No resonance or impact. It would have so easy to do better. Maybe start the shot with a strolling couple on the Golden Gate Bridge and do one of those CGImpossible pans up to low orbit and the probe materializing. Or at least start on an orbital monitoring stations with loud klaxons going off and crew frantically running about. I couldn't help but think of Babylon 5; the Narn outpost being anihilated by the ominous and graceful Shadow vessels, or Narn being bombed into the Stone Age as Londo looked on. These were excellent, dramtic uses of FX. Then the Klingon's attacking Archer in Solar space?? Hello, act of war, anyone? Enterprise frequently leaves me with the impression that scads of important exposition gets left on the cutting room floor to give the show that leaner, written-by-6th graders feel. I liked Phlox's indignation over the Vulcan doctor. I almost liked Archer triumphantly flourishing the piece of ship minted in the future --despite the fact I can't figured out why the alien suicide-anihilator didn't blow the probe up. It was a suicide mission, right? And it irked me that no-one asked Archer what he intended do in the Delphic Expanse, with his single ship and squad of Marines. Its an intelligence-gathering mission, right? Or is Archer going to go all R-Type on them and defeat the enemy race videogame style, 1 ship vs. a fleet, with only three continues? Or fewer, depending on the ratings... Arrgghh, this has become a rant. It was another load of missed oppourtunities. But I'll tune in next season, because I'm a big sucker... but hey, I've been watching Trek since I was 4. [/QUOTE]
