[QUOTE="Mark, post: 1207958, member: 5"] 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. [/QUOTE]
