Star Trek XI: Romulan Wars

[Orius]

Sounds good all around. Hopeful.

Yup, sounds good here. Ending the TCW, having Manny Coto taking over more creative control, and so on makes it sound like enterprise might finally start hitting it's stride. But then TNG and DS9 needed like 3 years to get up and running to. For the record though, I actually liked the earlier TNG episodes better.

 

[Viking Bastard]

Well, actually I kinda like the TCW. I mean, I can't say that the
execution of the theme has been done all that well, but I really
like the concept.

Sorry, bro, but I prefer large-scale war. I hated when they decided to keep the so-called Cardassian War in the TNG background. I mean despite the fact that E-D is carrying families onboard, LaForge did say that this is the flagship of the fleet.

Trust me, you won't find anything exciting than that, especially if NX-01 should be involved. I mean it's like not using battleship Missouri in World War II.

What bothered me MORE is when they didn't use it in the Dominion War. Jeez...I mean the Federation was really in deep doo doo.
All in the name of NOT stepping on DS9's shoes...

Now that would be a good movie but of course it would be re-writing Trek history.

Just because they didn't show it, doesn't mean it wasn't being used. The Enterprise is part of the 3rd fleet, which is a back up fleet that drifts around and has no permanent assignment, and hangs back until it is called in as reinforcement. That's why they were always out wandering and exploring instead of patrolling a route.

Okay, I read this entire thread and I have to say I like Enterprise. It is far better than Voyager and the TOS. Not as good as DS9 or TNG, but its getting there. Now, about this Temporal Cold War story arc. The way to get Kirk incarnation into the mix, and blow the lid of this story arc is quite simple:

The Temporal Cold War becomes a Hot War. Think on the rammifcations on that.

AFAIK, Berman consider DS9 to be the "middle child" to ignore, despite the success it brought. It had far better writers and continuity editors to keep story and character development in-line as possible.

AFAIC, whatever we longtime Trek fans want, is largely ignored by Berman & Braga. That's like a DJ playing his own selection of music while ignoring fan requests, but no one is actually dancing to his tunes and that can bring a party down quick.

Overall, I've yet to like ENTERPRISE. But if Manny Coto can bring back the old magic that made me fall in love with a cerebrally-challenging sci-fi show in the first place, then like the 1st edition fans who find new life in 3e, I and so many others will return.

On what do you base this knowledge?

I'm a long time fan (watched TOS as a kid, first run) and have enjoyed the majority of Enterprise episodes. Then again, I have no problem enjoying most of Voyager, DS9, or TNG either.

I'm looking forward to the new direction but I haven't been crying foul, for the most part, in regard to the TCW or any of the other choices made with Enterprise. In fact, I think the characters of Enterprise have been the strongest "out of the box" on any of the five series.

I've yet to see Berman use one of the known DS9 cast (Worf notwithstanding) in a future movie since that series have been off the air.

Apparently, I don't see it. In fact, other than my default attachment to any asian/filipino/hawaiian characters, I find myself trying so hard to appeal or care about any of the other characters in ENTERPRISE than I do with the other Trek series, with the exception of VOYAGER (but then the holographic Doc did get through to me).

If you want Braga, you can have him. I don't want him near my Trek.
