Someone please bring me up to date on Enterprise
 
I'm going to start watching Enterprise again, since there are new people in charge and they're finishing up the Xindi-Time War storyline.

I didn't watch last seasons at all, and only about half of the season before that.

Can someone give me the basics (or point me to a site that has a summary) of the story to date?

I would go to tvtome.com where they have episode guides or perhaps trekweb.com.

You're not asking for much, are you? ;)

I would agree: go and read the episode descriptions at http://www.tvtome.com

I am talking to the real Bandoman, right? :lol:

Last season was when it finally seemed a little better. Prior to last season I only watched maybe a handful of episodes.

Spoiler:
Xindi arc was wrapped up. Enterprise ended up befriending several species of Xindi. They trusted them enough to listen to evidence as why humans were not trying to exterminate Xindi. Large sphere objects were mapped all throughout The Expanse. It was learned that these were beings from another dimension, manipulating Xindi into believing the humans were against Xindi. Weapon to destroy humans was launched anyway by rogue faction of Xindi species. Enterprise ended up blowing up one sphere which caused chain reaction, and destroyed them all. Archer got to weapon, and destroyed it, but appeared that he was killed. The last scene was the Enterprise returning to Earth, but it was in the past, and Nazis were in control


That was very vague, and I suggest you read TVTome for more in depth info.

Bandoman 09-27-04 01:56 PM
Thanks, Def, that actually made sense. I'll piece together the details from tvtome.

I thought Enterprise improved a lot in the last 4-6 episodes last season. Hopefully they can build on that momentum.

I may watch the first episode to see if it's improved any... morbid curiosity, I guess.

When does the new season start, anyhow?

According to the short review in TVGuide, don't get your hopes up: first episode got a 4 out of 10.

Granted they don't "get" Trek for the most part anyway, but make of that what you will. :)

This is a sign things could be really bad - because TV Guide always seemed to give this show decent ratings - even when it was god-awful. Apparantly, the TV Guide reviewer thought the premiere was full of stereotypes and cliches.

4 out of 10? Yikes. They better do something drastic like get Brent spiner or Silliam Shatner to come on to get people to watch.


Oh wait, they already did that.

Look for Nichelle Nichols by years end. :)

Do NOT forget that the first few episodes of the season are probably hold-over from last seasons plans. You need to give Manny Coto some time before he can clean up the mess that he was left.

Give it at least until ep 7 or 8 of the season. THEN start making judgements.

waiting for this one to start up
 
i just started watching enterprise recently and i like it. I have seen and like voyager but never really liked any of the rest. I am waiting for enterprise new season to kick off.

Last season's enterprise was better merely because it lent itself to more jokes while watching. I kept asking my wife if Enterprise was supposed to be a comedy;)

I really couldn't stand the overused aspect of starting <I>in media res </I> and then going back to the beginning. Seemed at least 3 or 4 episodes used that technique. Someone had been watching too much Alias.

I just hope that this coming season's rumored Vulcan conflict will eliminate the un-Vulcan Vulcans we've had since the beginning and bring on the real Vulcans we've been missing.
