Janeway gave away the ship every episode. Seven was completely ridiculous. Tuvok was a joke. The Doctor was the only remotely interesting character.watched the first two or three episodes of Enterprise. UGH. they made every possible wrong decision on what to do with the franchise. have only caught one or two episodes since then. But, all this talk of the new direction and new alien species made me decide i would be a bad geek if i didnt sample the new season.so first,i magically acquired a copy of the last episode of last season. watched it with the gf who was a ST:TNG fan-girl.  we basically kept pausing it to laugh at it.  quantum dating stuff from the future with a NEGATIVE date was the most hysterical nonsense i've ever seen. things like this is why time travel should be avoided at all costs. the premiere was mildly interesting but as is now to be expected had so many moments that made you cringe. the gratuitous sex scenes on tv are sad normally and insulting on star trek. like naked chicks? me too. go buy some porn.the crew on this ship is completely uninteresting. still. worst crew ever.there isnt a single character im happy to see walk on the screen.cons: the writing sucks        the characters suck        vulcan soft-core porn is sillypros: the twist ending        non-humanoid aliens rock.  more of them, please        jake 2.0 was worse(as an aside, one guy from POPULAR is on Enterprise, one is the lead in Jake 2.0, and the chubby chick has (had?) her own sitcom...what happened to the hot chicks from Popular?) I will now predict that the xindi counsel/ homeworld is on an invisible "death star" (or portable planet)  and the decimated planet is their first victim. um , is it me, or shouldnt they have followed up on the season premiere in tonights episode?</blockquote>
