What's the last TV show you watched?

[DemonGeminiX]

Arrow.

It took me a few episodes to really get into this one, but I am really digging this show now.

[revalea]

Comedy circus.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Hell's Kitchen

and

Enterprise - series premiere parts 1 and 2

Watched Enterprise because it was one of the few (new) Star Trek series I wanted to check out and then Hal gave it a thumbs up too. I liked it for the most part, but man I have a few major complaints after seeing the first episode

You gotta ride out the first season I'm afraid it's like a shakedown for the new ship

it really does hit it's stride in the second

[Hal-9000]

Supernatural

and

Survivor

[Teh One Who Knocks]

It was only the first episode (both parts) that I watched and like I said, I liked it for the most part but there were some huge flaws for me in it. You know I'm a TOS snob

First off....WTF is up with the opening theme song for the show?

And then the rest:

 

Now I realize that TOS was made in the 60's with production value and special effects that were era appropriate, but geez, this is supposed to be a prequel, you shouldn't have everything look waaaaaaaay more futuristic and advanced that the show you are "prequeling" especially when that show takes place nearly 100 years farther in the future.

And my other major complaint is the Klingons. In TOS the Klingons looked completely humanoid and then sometime post TOS they got that funky look to their heads. Well, the Klingons in the prequel look like the post TOS Klingons....how the hell does that work?

I hate continuity issues so much

If you watch all 4 seasons the continuity actually becomes quite good. What I couldn't stand was Archer's early Howdy Doody delivery in everything he said ...." Hello! I am Captain Archer and we're on a peaceful mission of exploration, can we help?"


*cut to cool Klingon ship blasting a huge hole into the Enterprise*

 

And the opening song changes tempo/style about halfway through the series. Same crap song tho...It's a crime because the opening montage of images is so good. If you google this series, the opening song comes up more often than not

The look...after you settle into the series, you'll realize how simplified things are. The warp engines, doors being opened with buttons, phase pistols, polarizing hull plating rather than putting shields up...They'll actually address most of the tech in future episodes and/or refer to newer tech (TOS time....) that's when this series gets really good.

Klingons - Well, in every series after TOS, Klingon's looks have changed...why stop there?

[Hal-9000]

The ships and CGI in Enterprise look great...there is an arc to both the characters and the ship, but you have to watch it unfold over 4 years. Things will change..

Explain to me the Klingon look from TOS versus Klingons in every other series....when TOS was first

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I did like how they gave a nod to TOS by attributing the TOS opening narrated by Kirk to Zefram Cochrane

Klingon look from TOS - No money, no bumps, just lots of Fu-Machu's and brown face paint
Every series (and movies) since then - More money and bumps

simple

Archer's Dad helped Cochrane design the first warp engine, I liked that tie in.

Eventually they go back to the day the Vulcans first arrived on Earth, so this series draws on everything from TOS to the movies.

Andorians, green Orion slave girls, Tholians....


if you're a true TOS aficionado, you gonna love it Willis!
