The new Star Trek show Enterprise has impressed me. The new characters are likeable. I like how it takes place before Kirk and Spock. The stories are well written in my opinion. I hope to see the development of the defense shields and a war with the Romulans. Does anyone else like this show???

I haven't seen Enterprise, believe it or not. [img]redface.gif[/img] I'm not a huge Trekkie fan, but I loved the one where Patric Bergin was Jean-Luc Picard.

I must have missed that one - my favourite Picard was Patrick Stewart ;)

ME! The theme song is my only complaint. Like previous treks, I see huge character development potential. Plus its refreshing too see humans as puny for a change. Great show, and it on in just a few hours. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I was skeptical, at first before I watched it. I sat down to watch the series premier and thought it was great. I'm not a big Star Trek fan, I like The next Generation, and the original, but not really the other shows.

I like Scott Bakula, and think he's doing a great job. I think they picked a good crew as well.


2 thumbs up [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

I like the show but I can't believe that a starship captain would be allowed to just wander around and buttonhole other races the way the captain of this ship does.
Hey! Whats Happenin! as he did in the last episode.

I like it alot. I think mostly because it deals with mostly unexplored space. The computer graphic space scenes are also much, much better than the old model styles. Enterpirse itself is very cool looking. The only things that bug me are the theme song and the occasional Kirk-Like moment when Scott Bakula is commicating with other aliens. I ... can.. seem.. to ....talk. fast..enough!

You're subtle, I'll give you that! [img]graemlins/rambo.gif[/img]

I really enjoyed the 2 hour premiere, but haven't seen it since. I thought the first was very well done, and it offered a bit different perspective than any of the other spin-offs.

I thought from the beginning Scott Bakula would do a nice job. I really enjoyed him on "Quantum Leap".

I became a trekkie after seeing the DS9 series, i especially loved the dominion wars(though the ending was a bit dissapointing). I can't wait 'till they broadcast this new series in the Netherlands.

I am a huge trekie (I refuse to be called a treker) but find Enterprise lacking. (And don't get me started about the theme song). But I will watch and hope that the as the show jells it will get better. I remember TNG was not that good in the beginning, but to me, it ended up being the best Trek ever.

I think it's a winner! I've enjoyed every one of the "Trek" shows and I'm glad they continue.

I loved all the Star Trek shows, except the original. Too campy for me.

Enterprise is good - there's a whole lot of potential here, with a good cast and fun plots. It's nice to see humans making mistakes, and seeing where all their future rules and stuff came from. They're overconfident and a bit egotistical for newbies in the space game (and wide-eyed optimists) and you can see why prime directives and the like were eventually put in place!

And no, I don't like the theme song either [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img]

I hate the theme song as well... Hmm so they replace Barbie of Borg with uhh the Vixen of Vulcan? Gee, they say its very cold in space :D

Anyway, I am not really bothering to watch this season all that intently. It seems normal for trek shows to suck the first season or so, before they settle into the characters and whatnot... Looking back on 1st season ST:NG, its so very impressive what it became in later episodes... They had a darn fine cast.

I can only hope for the same growth in Enterprise, but please Please PLEASE get rid of that theme song. I want my instrumental piece to shots of the ship flying around like normal darnit! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I like the original and the next generation.So far I have nothing nice to say about this show so I won,t.....say much.That has to be the worst theme song for a sci-fi show I have ever heard.I have no interest in watching another soap opera that takes place in space.At least on the next generation if an episode wasn,t action packed or wasn,t exploring some bizarre new place in the galaxy the characters were good enough to keep up your interest.
Hmmm,I wonder if angering trekkies is a good idea.

Well, being an old fella I grew up with the original Star Trek. I know it seems almost rediculous today and rightly so, but in our/its day, it truly was awesome. There was nothing like it anywhere.
I have watched and accepted the updated Trek's appreciating them for what they are, not comparing them to what went before. I mean special effects and tech wise Kirk's Enterprise is a joke in comparison to Pickard's or Janeway's, but it has it's charm for those of us who grew up with it when there was nothing else to compare it to.
I have had the most difficult time with the new Enterprise. We have become so satiated with what we have been given TNG, DS9 and Voyager, that in a very real sense Enterprise is a step back to KirkTrek/Dark ages.
Once I allowed myself to stop fretting about the simplicity of Enterprises tech (no shields, phasers, proton torps etc, etc.), stopped comparing it to TNG, DS9 and Voyager, I found that I was able to really enjoy Enterprise.
I agree that there is alot of room for character developement, and hopefully we will see tech advances along the way. I also agree that it is a little unrealistic for such a techno backward race as the humans would be so aggressive 'buttonholing' all these techno superior races just assuming all will be amiable and sociable, but hey, this is fantasy after all and the ultimate goal is to prove that humanity will prove to be superior in the end.
So I am allowing myself to enjoy Enterprise immensely based on its own merits. Heck Jolene Blalock alone is enough to entice me to see what each new episode has in store.
