Another New Episode...

Wow, no comments yet.

Looks like a pure filler episode on the surface, just trying to stretch the season out. Sounds like a comedic premise (kind of Groundhog Day), but I suspect they will keep the "edgier" tone of the season going. Hopefully there will be some clues/questions about the Xindi or the spheres.

As always, I hope for cool space combat!

I sure hope they don't make the mistake of putting all of their eggs in one story arc basket. That's the same error that left Babylon 5 more and more inaccessible to new viewers the deeper they got into the series (and a reason I never bought into it).

When Babylon 5 first aired I was occupied in pursuits that didn't let me take part until well into the second season. By the time I was able to give it a try, I didn't enjoy being lost while trying to catch up. It's a real shame because I'm fairly easy to please when it comes to television (or, at least, more forgiving than most) and I am sure they would have had a fan in me. As it is now, when folks discuss B5 I just quietly mention I never watched it much and move on to something else.

Enterprise needs new blood brought into the audience and placing barriers to entry would not be wise.

I'm a fan of the occasional, stand-alone episodes and if they handle it like the recent Hoshi episode, they'll manage to get some information within that advances the arc well enough.

...I'm a fan of the occasional, stand-alone episodes and if they handle it like the recent Hoshi episode, they'll manage to get some information within that advances the arc well enough.

...but not be particularly exciting while doing so.

Tonight's episode has already gotten some good pre-air buzz. To be honest, it's the only episode I've really looked forward to this season aside from the premiere. Doomsday episodes have a special place in my heart for some reason.

And they've gotta start having the supporting cast to do more than say, "Aye, sir." We'll see tonite. Here's hoping!

WOW!

Did she say Ceti-alpha five? that would be Khan's future (not any longer) home right, or did he end up on six, can't remember.

That's what I thought.

That's what I thought.

Yeah, it was VI which blew up.

Anyway, tonight's episode I liked. The only part that I didn't like was how they handled

Spoiler

old Archer being shot three times

.

It kinda reminded me of Voyager's Year of Hell. Especially

Spoiler

at the end, "Y'know, you'd make a great nurse."

All right. I didn't think it needed it. After all, this is a discussion for people who have seen the episode, right?

I'll go edit it now.
