i hail TNG for all its glory and i was actually around watching when the ep's originally aired and i own all of the boxed seasons but i find it so hard to actually re-watch season 1 thru 3 aside from a couple classics here and there
4-7 is where the fruit is and i love most of those eps - ds9 i can rewatch s1 thru s7 np
Is it so hard to ask for a good star trek? TV series, not movie cuz most of the movies blow donkey balls.
Were I butthurt about anything, it would be that there was no super hot dude wearing a costume so impossibly skin tight that you could see what religion he was. And nearly all of the time he would have been shirtless. And he would frequently times he would have strolled around in nothing but his very skimpy underwear. And sometimes whilst in his underwear he would have managed to get soaking wet. And maybe, just maybe, butt shots. But I digress.
The thing about T'Pol is not that she was a female in a skintight suit, it is the fact that she was a Vulcan in a skintight suit. I don't consider myself a Trekkie by any stretch of the imagination, I enjoyed TNG, liked DN9, and didn't hate Voyager. But there are certain things that just take a dump on everything that has been established throughout all of the series. Why would a Vulcan female wear something skin-tight like that? Wearing a sexually alluring outfit would not be logical in nearly any situation, but especially on a ship full of lonely dudes who spend long stretches in space surrounded by lots of men. This is why it is Trek for frat boys. Hell, the fact that they eschewed the word "Star Trek" for the first two seasons was just another example of Brannon Braga and Rick Berman dropping trow and squeezing out another one on the fan base. (Note, they added in "Star Trek" to the title in the third season when the ratings were skinking.)
The reason it didn't bring back the fan base was that they didn't want the fan base, they wanted to reach new people. When the ratings got worse for the third season, they slapped the "Star Trek" name on it and expected their fan base to show back up, but nerds do not soon forget slights and are inherently wrathful.
It goes through cycles. When they think that the Trekkie Base is all played out, can't stand to watch anymore, and their numbers start to drop, they stop making new episodes/movies and just show you reruns for 20 years. Then, when the old viewer base is 40, overweight, and still living in their parents basements, they come out with new eipsodes/movies for the new, younger viewer base, who think its awsome and new, and the old viewers get to complain about how the old shows/characters were better. SO, I would expect this to be the last movie for awhile before they go into another 20-year rerun period.
And yes, Jolene Blaylok made Enterprise watchable. Especially the nude scenes.![]()
