Interesting. I wonder if she will get smacked for going against the team.

Considering Robert Beltran complained very publicly for years (in a self professed attempt to get fired) and had no action taken against him, I doubt it.

Enterprise season four begins October 8th. The season premiere, "Storm Front Part 1," takes Archer and crew back in time to an alternate history where Nazi Germany is conquering the United States.
More time travel? Roddenbury help us, that card is so played out in Trek it's not even funny. Are they trying to be retro or something with this?

Even worse, the US is somehow invaded, alternate history or not; that sucks balls.
I wish more of the cast would have spoke against it as perhaps it will definitely make the situation look as bad as it really is.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Hmmmm, the Orions and the Gorn.

The Orions means green slave girls.


The Gorn means they'll probably ruin another TOS classic although I thought they did a good job with the Andorians and I liked the redone Romulan BOPs.

The Klingons and Vulcans have kind of sucked though.

He was trying to get fired? Why didn't he just quit? Or just not turn up to shooting?

They're trying to cash in on Sky Captain obviously. :D

I always thought the Chakotay/Seven rommance was Berman and Braga's way of getting back at Beltran.

Having to make out with Jeri Ryan as revenge?

Great, they even fuck that up.

Amazing. Is jolene Blalock just there to "soothe the fans", or is she saying this on her own?

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'?

I was speaking of Beltran's comments that pairing Seven and Chakotay was a horrible choice and that that proved to him that the writers were idiots.

But yes, they did fuck it up, didn't they? :twisted:

He was under contract or more likely he enjoyed the pay check and was just whining.

I am very impressed with the depth she expressed in that article. She nailed many key issues on the head and I didn't expect that from her.

And yes, while the Andorians were excellent, ENT's Vulcans and Klingons suck majorly.

Agreed. I was pleasantly surprised, I wasn't sure I was reading it correctly at first. :lol:

I think they handled the Tholians quite well, too.

. . . Granted, they didn't show them that much.

As it is typical of the PTB, they had already stated that while they wanted to bring the Gorn in for ENT, Arena made it clear that that was first contact.
