OEEG Double Bill: Damage/Aquistion.
Posted: 2010-01-30 08:20pm
This week from Chuck, one good ENT and one bad:
I remember shaking my head at the concept of them doing a Ferengi episode two centuries before their own continuity said the Ferengi were contacted, with such a crappy way of "justifying" it in continuity, and it really does strengthen my resolve to see Enterprise completely and utterly stripped of any place in the Trek canon.
One of the funny things about all your jokes about ol' Catfish is that the actor actually managed to be a far more interesting character on Stargate Atlantis. Granted, he played an alien Dr. Mengele-style mad scientist bent upon conquering the galaxy with a genetically-engineered army of inter-race hybrids, but at least his character was, with the exception of Plot-Induced Stupidity incidents, generally intelligent and usually quite menacing. Especially the whole thing with his obsession with stealing Teyla's baby.
I suppose I did miss some good things when I skipped out on Enterprise early, as "Damage" has shown,, but frankly all the crap episodes you've reviewed have, 8 years after the fact, justified my decision when I basically dumped the show like 3 episodes in (I think the last episode I saw, before years checking out the Mirror Universe episodes and more recently watching a couple re-runs on Scifi, was the "we have Andorians!" ep in the Vulcan monastery).
