Enterprise: random rambles

[starrylizard]

I've never watched Startrek Enterprise before, but I realised the other day that at some point (likely several years ago) I bought the first 3 seasons on DVD. I started watching some today.

Does anyone else find it weird that Enterprise was part of an Earth collaboration, Starfleet, etc. And yet. the opening theme only shows American achievements in flight and space travel? Why not stick some Russian, Japanese, British etc. achievements in there? It's so very small-minded given what Startrek is all about. *sigh*

Anyhoo, the theme song is stupidly catchy. Might see if it's available to download on iTunes or something. I'm liking the slightly stuffy security guy and the medical officer. It's a nice cross of new and original startrek series so far, but I bet the die-hard fans struggled with it being a little inconsistent with original trek. Luckily I'm a fan, not a die-hard fan. Ha!

Hehe! He's growing on me, but he's not my type. ;)
Actually quite liking the line they're traipsing between original and new startrek. I bet they annoyed everyone with it though and that's why it didn't go as long as the other series.

I wish they'd start a new one. Watching DS9 got me through some stuff as a kid. And my whole family used to watch Generations when we were living in Holland. It was one of the few English shows we all seemed to like. *sigh*

They are starting a new show - but it's going to be on CBS's new subscription-only channel. The showrunner is going to be Bryan Fuller who did Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies etc and was a writer on DS9 and Voyager.

Oooh! Yay! I wonder what they'll do and whether we can access the show! I hope it's good!
