just get a TiVo

I'm about an angstrom unit away from just doing that. Just enough niggling thoughts to hold me back - for now.

I remember catching a video featuring an alternate theme going around on Kazaa during the first season of Enterprise. It was basically the same, but with the end credits theme from Generations, but done a little differently to synch with the existing video.

I've read that they're planning to redo the opening sequence with Bakula doing the traditional "Space: the final frontier..." voiceover at the beginning. I don't know if this is true, but there is a video clip on Star Trek.com titled "To Boldly Go..." which has Bakula doing the voiceover while Enterprise leaves spacedock. Could this be a new credits sequence?

You sure you want a TiVo?

I kind of have mixed feelings over this rumour. On one hand I like it over the current opening credits, but on the other hand I would like to see something not quite so TOS. I can't think what that would be at this moment though...

Regardling Jolene Blalock:

I wouldn't be surprised if she quits the show or is fired at some point.

While the guy who plays Trip was very happy with his character's relationship to T'pol (who wouldn't be?), she was very vocal about her intense dislike of the relationship and her hatred of his character.

She seems very disgruntled about the whole show in general.

Personally, I'd say that it's time to find a similar looking actress to continue the role.

Bah, a few more ads here and there is there is no big deal. If they get too much in the way I'll just change services. TiVo is one of the best inventions ever.

Not me. Based on those interviews, she seems like an actor/actress who actually cares.

This looks to be the episode thread that wouldn't die! (for at least one discussion not exactly pertaining to the thread which I am herewith perpetuating) Anyway...

Can anyone give a direct link or explicit directions on how to see the "to boldly go" voice-over beginning? I apologize if it should be obvious, but I'm not seeing it and a search turned up nothing that seemed to match what was mentioned.

Re: TIVO. I had heard the barest bones rumor of the new commercial cave-in before last week but no details. Even then it was one of the additional items on the list that has kept me from taking the plunge. It had me prioritizing ReplayTV until I found out that (apparently) they were barred from automatically removing them while recording.

Crichton, what other service providers are there? All I hear about is a generic $13-ish charge per month that is required, which I thought was only from one source - presumeably from the parent/home company itself. That additional monthly fee (as minimal as it pretty much is) is still annoying enough that it too is one of the issues holding me back.

But I don't know that a change in providers would help. From the most recent news I'm seeing it looks like it's going to be some sort of software/firmware upgrade forced upon on machines somehow.

Jolene Blalock has been flighty, IMO, since day one. ST has always had a seeming cone of silence around it. It kinda figures that the two would at some point come to a boil.

Go to startrek.com, click on the link for this week's episode (a repeat showing of Borderland"). It's right at the top of the page, labeled: "Next on Star Trek". On the next page, under Media Library, there's a video clip titled: STARTREK.COM Exclusive: "To Boldly Go..." That's the clip.
