If you're cocky enough to label something humor, you should darn well make sure it's funny.

Nope. You got it all wrong, especially #1. It should read: Thou must acknowledge that Brannon Braga is your one and only sovereign entity and liege of storywriting, that you shall have no other entity or higher being before him in your life.

#2. Give praise to Braga for he is All-Knowing in the Trek Universe. What He Writes shall ever be true and does not contradict with past truth, for He is the Truth.

#3. Thou Shalt Not Adhere to Continuity, for we must not give into the desires and wishes of the Exiled and Abandoned (translated: longtime Trek fans who no longer accept Braga's version of Star Trek.)

#4. Thou Shalt Embrace Temporal Dynamics and shall ever write about it every other scripts.

#5. Thou Shalt Adhere to Sexual Connotation and Display, for we must give charity and employ aspiring Playboy Playmates and Professional Wrestler into the art of Acting.

And the list goes on...

Now that's much more funny than the original post

#6 Thou Shalt Not read any actual science fiction books, or allow such artifacts to dissolve Thy ignorance of the genre.

#7 Thou Shalt Not come up with a creative or interesting answer to the question, "What if?"

To be fair, at least I find ENTERPRISE watchable, unlike all of VOYAGER and most of DS9.

#8 Technology breaking down can have unexpected side effects (when in doubt, forcibly and repeatedly)

To be highly critical, Brannon Braga should take lessons from those who did DS9, arguably the most acclaimed Trek spinoff after TNG.

I was skeptical at first ("they're doing a show set in a space station?") but the production crew and the cast managed to pull off many great episodes that get my stamp of approval ... now this is Star Trek!

Not getting any from the latter seasons of VOY nor from the current seasons of ENT. Once again Braga failed to impress me. I've said it once, and I'll say it again: a crappy story filled with T&A is still a crappy story.
