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!

Thanks! I'm actually quite enjoying it, but I can see how the line they are traipsing between new and original startrek would have many up in arms. I think when it was on TV I was very busy and just never got to it. I'll look forward to it getting even better. :D

I quietly loved DS9 and watched it religiously before I had internet access to put me in contact with other like-mnded geeks. By the time Voyager was on, I still didn't have internet, but I had crazy friends with "contacts" at the video store, so we got to watch it as it came out on video. Some of the girls regularly threw popcorn at characters they disliked. Good times! :)
