Star Trek Enterprise Season Premiere Friday 10/8

[Garibaldi]

Have you seen the animated StarTrek show?

No, how is it?
Do you have any of the new box sets? I only have ds9 season 5. I have all of VGR on tape, some TNG, and I have seen most TNG and TOS episodes. I haven't seen too much of ds9 or any of the animated series. I own all of the movies except for the Motion Picture in either VHS or DVD format.

I thought the episode with Spinner was pretty good. I'm looking forward to the rest

I say just cancel Enterprise. They should have done it as a post TNG. Cast is good, but the timeframe is wrong. Maybe have Q grab the Enterprise crew and move them in to the future and place them on the TNG ship with some of the original characters and other main characters are captains or head engineers of other starfleet ships. Call it StarTrek: Federation Fleet. Make it a big war against some alien race or the final fights against the Borg. Here's an awesome quote in the beginning for it. "In Space....Man and alien races have had their differences in the galaxy. As they've com in contact with each other, many conflicts have broken out. A new enemy threatens to destroy all galactic life. A new pact is formed between several races, creating a powerful fleet that will boldly fight until the very end......and ensure all beings the right and will to live." Have an awesome StarTrek like theme and have the scenes similar to Battlestar Galactica. Even have a few main characters die off at points. Massive battles where the ships are separating the disc section for elite space combat and fighting. And ships that are captured are taken by the Borg and assimilated into their hive. Even have a few reoccurring roles of people thought to be dead, but coming back as Borg. That would be awesome.

Sounds like babylon 5. anyone remember the EEEEEVIL anna sheridan?

i couldn't stand that show. I saw half of 2 random episodes and shut it off.

The animated series was back in the 70's and had the voices of the original cast. I'll PM you some information on it. You'll know why when I PM you.

The reason that you probably didn't care for it at all was because you saw two random episodes. Babylon 5 is specifically designed to be one 5 year long (110 episodes) story, so if you only see a couple random episodes its not going to make any sense, its going to seem dumb, and you won't have any appreciating for the characters. But once you watch more if it and get into it, you start to really like the characters and the storylines really get good, especially in the 3rd and 4th seasons.

[Doramius]

I'll have to find someone with it on DVD then.

[Garibaldi]

You can find them pretty cheap on half.com. I bought the 1st, 4th, and 5th online. I have the 2nd on tape and haven't see the 3rd.

[Doramius]

I just need to borrow it and see how good it is.

If you want to see a free preview, download the Rickard Biggs Memorial video. It has clips mainly of Rick Biggs, who played Doctor Stephen Franklin on B5 (he recently died of complications with his aorta ):

Its not any real part of the series, but it gives a little idea of what its like.

Hello,

Part 2 of 3 of the Soong trilogy on Enterprise airs tonight!!!

There's another chance of bumping of Archer! The preview shows the augments threatening him with biotoxins!!!!!

Kevin

[yoda313]

Hello,

Well part 3 is Friday night. It should be pretty good.

Overall I've been pretty pleased with the "soong trilogy". Though the regulars are flat as always...

Thoughts????

Kevin

[stiltman]

I think it's all too strange

First Star Trek finds the mutants floating in space
Star tek 2 finds Data and later find Soon(sp?)
Star Trek Enterprise has Soon on their show too

Time lines don't work by a long shot. They'll have to fix that some how by Soon going into deep freeze or something

Hello,

He's a RELATIVE! (great great great grandfather - or one or two more greats).

It's a Star Trek fact that all the males in the Soong family look the same

Kevin

[Doramius]

Look at Lor, Data, and....what's the new one's name? They're all identical. :P

[babyboo]

B4

[Doramius]

You sunk my Battleship!

[babyboo]

[stiltman]

Lor and Data are machines built buy Soong

I was talking about Soong himself

[babyboo]

They always said that Lor, Data and I would imagine B4 were made in their creators image. As far as Dr, Soong looking like his great, great, great grandfather, that is just a little artistic license on Berman/Pillar's part. Most people who have posted to this thread were looking for a little action...things to be shaken up a bit with Enterprise...well here you have it. Can't you get past it?

[Doramius]

Rodenberry dies and everyone involved with the show's creation thinks they can make a new show like him. Rodenberry started Star Trek way out to make it more feasible. Back to the Future went gutsy with hover vehicles in 2015. You set it 250 years into the future, now you given way to a long time of technology advancement wether it will happen or not. It's more believable because you don't need the 250 year gap to be filled in. A broad assumtion that something took place to make the shows future happen and it's really of no relevance.

[yoda313]

Hello,

The last of the soong trilogy is tonight

I like the preview because it suggests someone may die (not mentioning who for those who have it delayed). PM me about it

Kevin

[yoda313]

Hello,

Well it looks like they're going with "trilogy fever" on Enterprise.

They just finished the soong trilogy last week (quite well wrapped up if I do say so myself ). Now they're doing an Archer/Tpal trilogy on Vulcan!

So much for a season long story line!

Kevin

[Doramius]

Did you know Tim Russ who plays TuVac in Voyager also had a role in a StarTrek Movie, but not as a Vulcan? He played an Earth Tactical Lieutenant on the older Enterprise in Generations.

[yoda313]

Hello,

No kidding, Of course I knew that!

Did you also know Odo (rene aubejonois) also had a bit role in Star Trek 6 before getting his job in DS9???? He was one of the coconsipirators in the assasination plot. He said "we'll clean their chronomoters" in the war plan of trying to extradite Kirk and McCoy

Kevin

[yoda313]

Hello,

So what do you guys think of the new "trilogy" approach they seem to be taking this season???

It seems to be a bit fresher. The year long story of the expanse last year seemed to drag a bit. These shorter stories seem to get more depth out of the writers/actors. Hopefully they'll keep this three-parter fever going so that it feels like a mini-movie every time. They just don't seem to do well on individual episodes without an overall story arc.

Thoughts???

He was also in the TNG episode "Starship Mine" where he played a member of a group of terrorists trying to procure trilithium. They hijack the Enterprise while it's in dock getting a baryon scan. Picard ends up smacking him with his saddle, IMS.

Hello,

Yep, looking for his "saddle"

Tim Russ also had a guest spot in Fresh Prince of bel air as a cop if I remember right.

------

Did you know a ton of the TNG cast had guest spots on CHIPS????

I'm not joking - go to www.imdb.com and search the TNG cast members and about half of them had a guest spot on CHIPS.

I must admit that I am getting a little tired of the rather lengthy fight scenes where Archer gets the s**t kicked out of him (Zero Hour and Cold Station 12). They are too similar to the ones in the original series [the one where Kirk fights Fin or Finey...(can't remember the name) where everyone including his daughter think he is dead but is actually hiding in engineering]

[Garibaldi]

There are quite a few things like that. For example, the actor that played Nelix (I feel ashamed that at the moment I can't remember his name) also played a ferengi in Menege a Troi. And Duncan McNeil, the guy that played Tom Paris was in the TNG episode where Wesely does the Starburst Manuever at the academy and gets a cadet killed.

I actually am really enjoying the latest Ent episodes about the vulcans, its nice to see a change going on that relates to the later series. For example, the creation of the Hall of Knowledge (I think its called) on Vulcan where they house the Katras.
