ACA s1e6 “Come, Let’s Away”
It doesn’t happen every cycle.
It’s a fact that TV shows have changed over the years. Most of them today are made for people with no focus, to be watched while scrolling the phone, needing everything characters do to be stated very explicitly, everything that happens explained as it happens, filled with cliches,… Not all of them, so there is still a contrast. It is still possible to distinguish between the good stuff and the bad stuff, it’s not old people yelling at the moon.
I still think everyone hates Enterprise because of the theme song. I’m currently doing a rewatch of it, and it’s good.
The theme did throw me at first but I feel like the show didn’t fully come into its own until seasons 3-4. The season 3 Xindi arc has aged beautifully. And the Vulcan arc where the high command is abolished was also very good.
Also in the mirror episodes Hoshi in the crop top made me feel things.
Season 3 was where it got it’s beard.
It grows on you as a lichen that’s difficult to remove. Not the season 3-4 upbeat theme, though.
The Prequel trilogy was once the worse Star Wars trilogy. It didn’t get better in hindsight, it’s just now comparatively less worse.
They have provided us a great fountain of memes, though.
Enterprise was not bad at all. It’s theme was bad. But the show was decent.
Enterprise was not bad at all.
Phlox, rub some decontamination gel on this revisionist history! The worst part was absolutely all the oily creeper shots.
That theme was the shit and I will die in this hill. The first version anyways
The intro for In a Mirror Darkly being the exception.
Always loved the theme. The ship and set design are aces, too. But I’ve never been able to get through more than a handful of episodes of the show itself.
As a stinkin’ casual, I never watched Enterprise, but I’m glad y’all brought it up. I think I’ll go back and watch it now. I’ve been short on things to watch. I’m watching You’re the Worst because Stormfront is in it, for instance (not bad, btw).
I never got the dislike for Enterprise anyway. It sure wasn’t as good as DS9 or peak TNG, but it sure was a hell of a lot better than Voyager.
From this juncture, I can only recommend giving Voyager another chance. Starting with s2e16 “Meld” onward, there’s a wealth of worthwhile episodes.
As with every post TOS Trek, they must all “grow the beard.”
I went through all of Voyager and I don’t think it gets better in the later seasons. Most characters don’t develope that much, the most interesting storylines were dropped super early, and I really don’t like how often consequences are just ignored and the show kind of “resets the status quo”.
Until that whole shitshow of a temporal war really started.
I didn’t find it that unbearable. But I really liked the Xindi Arc and the shenanigans in the Delphic expanse. Also, the andorian episodes were jusz gold. Granted, those also were Jeffrey Combs episodes, but I generally liked the andorian-vulcan conflict and the approavh to vulcans generally.
Does he have a game of Tic Tac Toe shaved into the side of his head?
Uh, yeah. He’s “edgy” like that.
Get you someone in your life who looks at you like THAT.
