Comment Toss it in the Freezer (Score 0) 703

I can't say how much Enterprise sucks, I've been too busy watching the DS9 DVDs and forgetting to watch Enterprise... but from what I hear from friends rants, yes.

From what I've heard, They're just flailing in the script-room, pulling plotlines out of nowhere...and even plotlines that don't make sense. I'll admit, Voyager sure wasn't TNG-2nd season, but it wasn't the last season of TOS either. There were some good parts and some bad parts.

LaVar has probably got a pretty good idea that it should be shelved (or at least shoved in the frezer for a while). Let the hubub over "Berman killed Star Trek" die, spend that time fleshing out something more cereberal (or at least philosophic) if they even bother to make another series: they've almost run out of concepts!
  • TOS: Exploration in an (mostly) unknown Galaxy
  • TNG: More exploration, but a more stable location
  • DS9: Sitting in the middle of a Mexican Standoff, followed with Exploration of a new section of the Galaxy
  • VGR: Lost in Space, and all of the above
  • Ent: A rehash of the basic idea of TOS

I say Shelve it for 5 years and see if anyone's come up with anything interesting by then

Journal Journal: Bah... Blogging

I've been thinking recently, about this 'blog thing. All my friends are doing it (LiveJournal, their own personal webpages), and I considered it myself, but when you really think about it: what's the point? If I wanted to have a diary, I'd write a diary. 'Blogs are one of those 'new-fangled' things that the Internet is famous for making and breaking. The .coms were another thing like that, and look where they are. Filesharing is similar, but it's newer than 'blogs.

Journal Journal: What is it with...

... with clueless managers? I've got this job where my boss is admittedly techno-illiterate. She just knows how her computer is supposed to work, not how it actually does. I've got no problems with that mentality (it's condusive to me keeping my job), but when she refuses to listen to my explanation as to why her computer doesn't work (and how it requires a hardware replacement) this techno-illiteracy is frustrating.
