And for Sci-fi I think that unless the show is based upon a time travel concept (like quantum leap, a favorite of your family if I remember) I think it’s a mistake to include it at all, especially something with as complex and developed a continuity as Star Trek. There’s enough crap that needs be kept track of already without mucking about with time travel.

From what I have read about Enterprise a lot of the decisions were based on things other than a “let’s make a good program” mindset. Even some of the actors (Blalock in particular) disagreed with a lot of the decisions (I know she disagree with the romantic relationship her character apparently gets into in later seasons).

I think that is what is bothering me the most about Enterprise at this point. It has a lot of potential (sorry, had) to be a really good show, but I can already see where it’s going to go wrong in the first two episodes and that’s disappointing. It makes me wonder if it’s worthwhile investing my time in it at all, and there is a good chance I will quit watching it part way through.

Still better off than Voyager though, I couldn’t stand that heap of crap from the start. I’ve still never been able to sit through an entire episode of it.

Good lord this just turned into like a second post =P

But…you do have some deep rooted issues with time travel to begin with…Trying to cover something up, future-boy? ;) or was it a D&D game gone bad? :D

I think that in Enterprise, they made too many excuses for T’pol to act non-vulcan…and I think that Enterprise shouldn’t have focused on time travel as they did in the later episodes, but I did like the show’s approach.

Time travel is always a dicey issue in Sci-Fi. The problem, in my opinion, is that we all have different preconceived notions about time travel and what would be possible.

PS… and knowing you, you -won’t- like the episodes when they get involved in the time travel. The first season was the best overall.
