I see that if you put a period (.) in your signature, the grammer police in the forum software requires a space after it. (Like it was the end of a sentence)

Useless fact of the day.

and about your signature........ do you really think it possible? Ratings were down last season, and this season, at least in my market, they put it on opposite Stargate SG1...... NOT a wise move if you ask me....... course I watch one and record the other.

I believe like the two other remake shows, it took a couple of years to hit its stride. Its just unforunate its on a crap hole of a network. Take away Enterprise and take away UPN. (Please)

Enterprise is done, stick a fork in it. There is NOOO saving it. I have always been a big ST fan but had trouble warming up to it though it certainly was more watchable that DS9 but in the end it really never caught on with enough people and I don't think they (or I) saw any way that would change.

I remember when TNG first came on and I was soooo excited being a long time fan of the original. I watched religiously the first 6 or 7 episodes and was frankly disappointed. I took a break and then all of a sudden got back into it and loved it. To this day, I can't seem to stomach any episodes where Riker doesn't have a beard as they just didn't hit their stride that first season IMO. I really liked Voyager though that took a season to really get going. To this day I hate the Nelix character and think they play Janeway up as a bit too tough but I really got into it, maybe more than the average fan as I know to some that was so-so. I especially like any episode with Seven, grrrrrrr. It'll be interesting to see if Enterprise catches on much in syndication and maybe I too will warm up to it more.

AGREED! TYhat's only only show worth watching on UPN......... HOWEVER, you do have to give them credit for initially picking up Next Generation when no one else wanted it....... By the way, do you not consider Deep Space 9 a "remake"? I tend to, especially since O' Brien was a part of the Cast.

As far as hitting it's stride...... OMG Enterprise was AWFUL the first yeat. I think Bakula was reading his lines off a teleprompter. I think sometime durring the last season it really got good, and so far this season is fantastic.

Ifoyu're talking the James on that "other" board.... I traced the IP and it was rather interesting. Turns out it's on of 6 IP's assigned to a retail spa store(s).... 6 or 8 of them. I then did some checking and it turns out the owners husband is a retired DA...... interesting eh?

The San Mateo bridge is the longest bridge in the San Francisco bay area.... Dang low to the water too. 60 MPH on a jet ski at high tide, it's kinda spooky to ride under. Hayward to Redwood City I'd guess is about 15 miles.

I was born in Redwood city, but didn't go to Hayward till I was in college. So I guess it takes about 20 years to get from   Redwood city to Hayward.
;)

Keep tryin' to find that James guy. He deserves better than he got over there...

And your not?  ::)

;D

There is nothing wrong with being weird.  (No, I'm not a Trekkie, actually, at the risk of "alien"ating some of you, I never liked Star Trek.  Now Star Wars, that is a different story!)

Ha ha!

Bill is a Trekkie - Bill is a Trekkie!!

Relax, your secret is safe with us.

I haven't gotten a chance to see many of the 'Enterprise' eps, since we don't have TV. But I have purchased several seasons of TNG and Voyager, and we enjoy watching them. (We have a nice home theater but only view VHS/ DVD).

Is Enterprise available on dvd yet?

You mentioned that you thought that the lead guy "Captain Archer" seems to be reading from a teleprompter - did you know that on all of the other ST incarnations the cast was never allowed to ad lib? It was spoken as scripted or done over again. I always thought that was part of the problem with the characters not really 'growing' or developing as the seasons progressed. The writers had to notice a trend and then write it into the script - the individual actors couldn't expand the characters themselves.

How much do you want to bet he has Spock ears? He probably wears them when he wants to get the Mrs. in the mood.

I would let her kick your butt on that one!   I once attended a convention when my employer (CompuServe) was involved. The people there scared me. I did get to type for Jimmy Doohan (Scotty) in an online conference.

That is really sad.  I never knew that!  Being a degreed actress, what good is playing a character if you can't play around and have some fun?

I think that really shows in the case of TNG, and I think that was relaxed as the seasons went by.

BTW, someone else said that abou Bakula, but I'll agree he was shaky early and better recently.

Ps.  Tupol can give Seven a run for the money of best Star Trek body ever.

But Tupol has more underwear scences, I don't think Seven did. (Hard as I tried, I couldn't find one picture of that online)

Well, I saw an interview with Jerri Ryan, and she said they had her in a corset so tight she couldn't sit down from the time she came out of the dressing room until she was done for the day.

I would say that would preclude "underwear scenes" like the ones T'pol has been in....

Ah - suffering for your art.....

This topic came back alive because of a spammer.  So I'll add how about the guy 7 was married to taking her to swinger group parties?  Talk about a trophy wife!   I'll  bet they have hot tubs there.
