[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 725654, member: 4779"] All good. ;) I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. I think the ENT characters feel much closer to our era than any other previous Trek. Especially the Trip character. Trek as a franchise has been bumbling around on its hind parts for years. The movies have been average at best and VOY was poor. I almost gave up completely on them. Right until the point where they signed Bakula to play the captain. That got me interested again. I didn't really dig the premise of the show but it grew on me. And now that we are 1.5 season in, I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised that I'm still watching Star Trek. ENT hasn't been entertaining every single week, but the show is still finding its legs as did all the other good series (except TOS). There were many piss-poor eps in the first 2 years or TNG & DS9 so it's to be expected. The final 4 seasons being the strongest (using S3 as a springboard) has been an unintentional mainstay of Trek. The way things look it seems like the same (hopefully!) will happen with ENT. I see much potential. As for it being as good as other shows on TV, it has a ways to go. Shows like Alias and Farscape take risks and are very fast paced compared to Trek. Also, they are non-episodic and you really need to follow along week to week to enjoy it fully. ENT isn't set up that way so the overall story hurts. But as long as they to produce quality single eps (consistantly), then I'm happy. :) [/QUOTE]
