IMO Enterprise gets a bum rap. It was better than voyager, Mellencampish theme song and all.
[TV] Talk about the last TV you watched, the catchall thread
- Thread starter Frank
- Start date
It's later seasons were. But it's got a lot more just... god awful, really fucked up episodes than Voyager. Sure, Voyager had Threshold, but it doesn't have the sheer disposable savagery that is Dear Doctor.
Say what you will about the song, but it'spretty catchy.
It's actually even the reason why i stopped the channel hopping to see what the show was...
That being said, when the Klingon showed up is was still surprised, even tough i saw the name of the show already...
I was all like "Wait, this is the STAR TREK Enterprise after all, not just a name coincidence ?"
Yeah the ethics of Dear Doctor were...SHAKY to say the least(not to mention how it would've made more sense as an early Voyager episode).
But MAN...."A night in Sickbay" was so gross and boring that not even Phlox's anecdotes about home could legitimize it. The words "Dog funeral" and "Sex dream" should NEVER be put together in the same sentence.
Almost done season 2, and I'm just god damn reminded of how fucking insane the first two seasons of a Star Trek show can be!
"Here's a regular episode! Here's a dumb episode! Here's literally the worst episode you've ever seen! Here's an episode that has a HEART wrenching A-plot about the Stigma garnered towards assault victims, queer people, and people who have AIDS...WITH a B-plot where a polyamourous woman wants to bang her husband's co-worker!"
Its quite a ride and I'm glad to be on it.

And skipped over to Star Trek Discovery because I'm a weirdo who doesn't watch things in order and it BEGS the question...how many more secret siblings DOES Spock have? So far only two, but knowing how private he keeps his family life, for all we know there's a SCORE we don't know about.
Look, vulcan's live a long time, and sometimes you just have to pon farr*...
*coz, you know, you die otherwise...
AND just got to "Cogenitor" on Enterprise...really glad the next episode has the Borg in it, because I need...a pallet cleanser. Jesus Christ the first two seasons were beyond up and down, even more than early Voyager.
I finally got a chance to catch up with all current episodes of Daredevil: Born Again and will be joining the din of those shouting praises. I love the tense moments as it's really hard to tell what direction an M rated Marvel show will go. I did note that Episode 4, while a fun episode, has a jarring tonal change from the rest of the season.
What tonal shift would that be? I thought you meant episode 5 and I was going to say that it really just serves as a bottle episode and palate cleanser before diving back into the heavy, but I feel like 4 is pretty tonally even with the rest of them.
You’re right, it was 5, the bank episode.
