I don’t think the old networks have figured out yet what an impact Youtube, Vimeo, and Netflix have had yet. They kind of had, because they’re starting to launch their own, but I don’t think they realise how late to market they are.

Been watching Enterprise. Despite it’s obvious flaws (detox gel) I’m finding it enjoyable and we’ve just started on the second season.
I find it interesting how much is meant to be familiar for the viewer - the clothes are more typical of our era, as are things like their embrace of sports. The uniforms are more like we’d expect for modern day soldiers, etc.

Thanks for this, I Meh-quit STD because I was just bored watching it, if I had watched this episode I would have for real rage-quit instead.
I am however less hopeful than the reviewer, this show is bad and there’s very little anyone involved can do to fix it. Unless they fire the current show-runner(s) and/or writers, I don’t care anymore.

Of all the nonsense in ST:D, Ash did the most damage to my suspension of disbelief. “Well, he USED TO BE KLINGON but we swapped out all his DNA. And his organs. And changed the shape of his skeleton. And we put a different personality in his” THAT’S ENOUGH WE GET IT WHATEVER

They transport all over the damn place and you’re telling me that the transporter never picked up on the alien DNA in a human? Not once? That is one hell of a loop hole!

Didn’t Lorca have a tribble in his office?

There was a Klingon spy passing for human in “The Trouble with Tribbles,” but in that particular episode the Klingon makeup was nothing but (ironically, now) extra facial hair, and even then the spy was busted instantly as soon as McCoy pointed his portable whatsit at him.

Yes he did!
Why didn’t they just beam the tribble on to Qu’onos?
(And why do they pronounce that with an R!)

I gave up on it. If it had been set in the future (after Voyager and all that), then I would have been interested. But instead they put it in the past with tech that we have never heard of.
Still, the space shots were nice.

Because TOS writers wanted to give all of the planets names from mythology?
Vulcan
Kronos
Romulus
Thasus
Orion
The trend doesn’t appear to be universal… I’m unable to find a mythological source for the Organians or Tellarians, and the Tholians appear to have been named after a kind of ancient Greek hat.
I think “Qo’nos” only became a thing after people started to turn Klingon into a coherent language.

From now on all the aliens should be named after hats.

“Captain, I’ve spotted a Trilby Katana class off the starboard bow. Its…its the Waifu Captain…”
“When will that basement dwelling troglodyte realize that just because I smiled at him at Space Station Epsilon, did not mean I wanted to be his conquest for the night.”
“Captain, he may be trying to hail us…but he is using an entirely wrong frequency and modulation…shall I initiate contact?”
“GOD, NO. I gave him a fake number on purpose to get him to go away. Just keep.
flighing straight and do NOT do a sensor sweep.”
