DS9 had about half a dozen minor characters that I liked and loved seeing when they appeared such as: Garak, Gul Dukat, Kai Wyn, General Martok, Weyoun, Vic Fontain and so forth.Many of these characters were better than Enterprise's main characters imo. I like Archer, T'Pal, and I agree about Phlox, he's awesome. However, three good characters aren't enough. The stories just aren't the good.And now we come to the fan-boy crackback part of your post. Don't complain about Enterprise or they'll pull it? Boy that's a great rationale. That's like feeding someone oatmeal everyday, then when they complain, just not feeding them at all. Here's the deal, pulling Enterprise isn't much of threat, because the audience is leaving in droves anyway. Im not a fan boy waiting to complain about anything. I desperately wanted Enteprise to succeed, and I think most fans are the same way, quite the opposite of your characterization. But the show sucks. Voyager was more entertaining.There I said it. Voyager had some absolutely silly recurring themes, that kept me from taking the show seriously, like the fact that they blew up about 30 shuttles. However, I was at least entertained while watching it.Enterprise gets turned off half way through with a yawn about half the time.One last thing. Braga mentions that 4 million viewers is nothing to sneeze at and he's right.However TNG pulled in 12 million at its height, DS9 did a lot better, heck even Voyager's ratings were better.It isnt cable TV's Braga, it isnt the FANS fault for whining Raven.The show just isn't drawing viewers.You like it and I respect that.However, I can only stomach the show about half the time (usually when the Andorians or Klingons show up, coincidentally). And like Ranger, I am just praying they finally *get on with the story* of the Birth of the Federation and dump the TCW. Chuck</blockquote>
