No, sadly, Voyager and Enterprise were merely holodeck simulations by Riker and Trio. Not Trek at all.  :dreamer:

I started rewatching Enterprise this week. Those early episodes are much better than I remember. And Phlox is far less annoying than I thought. Jolene Blaylock is every bit as hawt as I recall.

The theme song is still stupid.

Ive found this to be very true.  we've been slowly going through the series recently and generally enjoy the shot.
the theme song is the worst.  every time I hear it I imagine its Gus's pump up song before running.
Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.


BanzaiCat

Gus can easily be imagined as a cheesy 80s movie montage with appropriate leg warmer music, can't he?

Martok

I will always imagine Gus like this.  :smitten:

Agreed. Except for the theme song I've grown to like "Enterprise". Like any of the series it has its good and bad moments but I think some of the best are the ones with the Andorians. The Xindi story arcs are pretty good, too.

Sir Slash

Gus would never spill his beer like in the pic above. And he usually cuddles his Battle Axe.
"Take a look at that". Sgt. Wilkerson-- CMBN. His last words after spotting a German tank on the other side of a hedgerow.

Martok

Hey now, you don't know how much beer he's had.  ^-^  And he ain't gonna cuddle the axe while posing for the picture!  Sheesh.  :P

Jonathan Frakes Drops Major Star Trek: Discovery Spoiler!

Yeah, it's not really a spoiler. It's another sign of how bad this show is going to be. Let's start off the season by already copying ideas that have been done to death.
The show premieres this Sunday night here in the US. Me and vomit guy have our buckets ready.

IIRC ST:NG had that issue in its first couple of seasons, which they were roasted for - copying old ideas and re-doing them. Then they brought in new writers and even had open submissions for scripts, and their storylines really took off. If they go this route I'm not sure people are going to have the patience for it to take root.

CBS isn't going to pull the plug right away on this thing. It's the cornerstone of their paid streaming service.

Which will be watched by thousands on "those other sites" where you can watch any first-run movie or TV show for free. It's only a matter of time before it shows up, I'm sure.

I expect it will be on those sites a couple of hours after it airs.

Trek showrunner essentially confirms that the new Klingons are meant to reflect Trump supporters, and that their cultural split represents the electoral divide of the US 2016 election.

:o :2funny: L:-)

Okay, that's... not automatically a bad idea, in theory. But my desire to see the show has never dropped lower.

Oh, and Jason Isaacs (whom I generally like in his film roles), has essentially dared Trek fans not to watch the show.

...challenge accepted!  :bd:

ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!
