Enterprise Renewed

Stag · 05-20-2004, 05:10 PM

Well, it has been renewed, and I for one, am glad. The past 5 or so episodes have been outstanding (for Enterprise). I hope they can keep it up through the next season.

I am sure the show will have major changes both behind and in front of the camera.

It looks like it is being moved to Friday night at 9pm and will probably be going head to head with the SciFi programming block of SG-1 and Atlantis.

So maybe all Paramount is doing is delaying the inevitable.

I'd probably watch Stargate if it was on the same time. Thankfully, they're on the same channel here so I don't have to use the VCR.

Meh. The only episode out of the last 5 I've seen was "The Council". If that crapfest is representative of Enterprise's upswing in quality, it probably deserves to die.

Really, you didn't like "The Council"? Sure, parts were a bit predictable, but all-in-all, I thought it was pretty entertaining. Everything with Degra was pure gold, in my book. That character definitely shined this season, and I was genuinely sad to see him go. I don't think I could say the same for any of the show's regulars, with the exception of possibly Trip, Phlox and Hoshi (as underutilized as those last two are).

When the Reptillian killed Degra, I sat forward in my seat and didn't lean back for the rest of the episode. I haven't felt a charge like that watching (new) Trek since probably Voyager's "Equinox".

No, I didn't like it. I'm still trying to figure out if Manny Coto is incompetant, or just apathetic. While it was a good story idea (I guess, if you care about this Xindi arc), Coto's script, along with terrible acting by most of the humans on-board (probably as a result of the bad writing), ruined it.

Just as an example, Archer and Hoshi are going to the Council chamber the first time (actually, both times), and the only thing that Coto can come up with to underly the drama of the situation is that Archer feels like he's being summoned to the Principal's office. He's walking into a room where he's likely to face his death, and he feels like he's being summoned to the Principal's office.

The one scene that wasn't bad was Degra's death. But, that one scene wasn't enough to save this poorly written episode.

I hope you watched Countdown, it was even better than The Council.

Arik · 05-22-2004, 12:20 PM

Will watch. It hasn't aired yet.

Bean · 05-22-2004, 01:11 PM

Actually it aired last wednesday

Arik · 05-22-2004, 01:38 PM

Actually, it aires this Sunday.

Bean · 05-22-2004, 02:38 PM

Well if you wanna be technical about it, this Sunday it's a repeat :P I watched it Wednesday, but I get your point. Really though, you should keep an open mind when you watch it, it really is an enjoyable episode.
