Keep on Trekkin’?

Filed under: Television — Jim Murphy @ 9:42 am

Soon Enterprise will be over. I never really found interest in the show, watched the first season. Thought it was ok, nothing to make time for really. Then I started watching random episodes of season two and it turned into Quantum Trek. Where Archer would go back and forth in time… didn’t they have Kirk and his crew do this and it was UNHEARD of in the movie where whales save the day? Then why can the VERY FIRST star ship do it so easily? And how is it that the first ship discovers the borg, yet Picard and his boys have never heard of them? Do they not believe in recording anything they do? I was a huge fan of Next Generation, I even liked the last movie that bombed. But this is pure crap.

I would have liked this show more if they made it sometime after Next Generation. I guess they were afraid of that with the Voyager bomb they just had. They also need to get off this hot officer kick they’ve had recently. They pay too much attention to the skimpy outfits. No one will watch a series on Bikini clad airheads performing Shakespire for more than just a few espisodes. Next Generation didn’t really have a hot officer, maybe Troy and she did nothing for me. But the stories were interesting, so I watched. I know, an amazing concept.

Maybe it is best that trek goes away for a bit. Let technology advance some more then come out with a newer Star Trek. I don’t think the series should vanish, but I don’t think we should have Star Trek for a few years. Until then we’ll have to enjoy pages like this one: www.khaaan.com
