I really want to like enterprise. It's such a cool premise- the first exploration of deep space by humans. The ship is all primitive compared to later shows, it's built like a submarine, there's so little room. And humans haven't met anyone yet, and when they do half the time they can't speak the language (my favorite scene in the pilot: talking to the Klingon in sick bay, Hoshi can't get the language down, and he starts raving in Klingon, the captain says 'tell him to shut up' and she yells "SHUT UP!" Cracks me up every time.).

And then the writers can't restrain themselves, and throw in those stupid time-travelling guys. I hate those time travelling guys. Just let them explore!

I didn't like the time travel crap either. Oddly it's apparently the only part my brother liked.

Last season's finale was great.

As long as the Borg don't show up this could be the best Trek Series since DS9. They finally have a cool captain again.

I'm looking forward to tonight's premiere. I initially thought I wouldn't like the show, but it proved me wrong. I even grew to like the theme song. I especially like the time-travel aspect of the show, and am confused by people who hate it.

My only gripe is the speed at which they developed some of the cool toys, like the phasers. I think it should have taken them longer to produce those.

Then maybe this will make you feel better...they aren't phasers. They're phase cannons.

It did. Actually, if I remember correctly, the first true phasers developed by Starfleet were more powerful than the phasers the Vulcans already had, but weaker than Klingon disruptors. Don't quote me on that though.

Actually, that's the one thing that I've always wanted to see...the beginnings of the Borg, how they came about, who created them or how they evolved. There's a lot of potential there, and I bet you that seeing them in their early history would be far more interesting than they are now.

I know it's not TV, but there was a STNG novel that dealt with the early borg and their main enemies. These main enemies were wiped out by their sun going kaplooey iirc.

anyway one of the last remenants of the borg's not-friends got a hold of the other planet killer (rememer the original, with the great music, and the destruction of the USS Constitution? ... one of my favorite shows!) ... and was getting ready to go after the borg (and lots of things/people that were inbetween) ...

anyway Picard ended up stopping it (her) ...

um wow, that looks almost completely choppy with no real content ... oh well I did read that book close to 10yrs ago ...

You're thinking of Vendetta, by Peter David, which tied together the planet-killer from TOS (you know, the thing that looked sort of like a glowing blue tornado on its side) with the Borg from TNG. It sounds really weird but it worked incredibly well.

Virtually any Star Trek novel by Peter David is bound to be good, in my opinion. I can't think of a single one I didn't like.

I wouldn't mind seeing the early Borg, however it would seem that they have been around alot long than the Federation.

Which would mean that the Enterprise gang wouldn't encounter then at a truely earlier stage. Also, when the Enterprise-D encountered them the Federation had no previous contact with them or that region of space so the writers would have to seriously screw with the continuity to make it work.

But, if done correctly I wouldn't mind seeing early Borg action. But seeing how it was handled on Voyager I am, at the moment, completely sick of the Borg..... I need a break.
