Comment Good First Episode that harkens to The Original (Score 2, Insightful) 1689
I really liked this first episode. Humans acting like humans again, instead of sanitized puritanical boring bastards that we've gotten used to in TNG and Voyager. I think Scott Bakula is a great actor and is perfect for this part. I loved seeing him tell those Vulcan assholes to piss off. It's about time someone did. The whole episode I was thinking "Yes! This is so like old-school Star Trek."
I watched most of the episodes of TOS and TNG, some Voyager (everyone knows it sucked in the beginning but got a lot better in the end), and almost no DS9. DS9 was just pathetic.
Anyway - my point is, some of you ultra trekkie people need to take a step back. Did you watch Galaxy Quest? Did you see the guys with the plans and how they were nit picking one little inconsistancy? I thought that was an exaggeration, I guess I was wrong. Drop the whole stupid-ass Klingon thing. THEY CHANGED THE MAKEUP. That's all. Warf's comment was a fucking inside joke! Get over it!
The shower scene and the hottie vulcan part was stolen directly from 7 of 9 because it was so successful in making Voyager more liked. Deal with it. Why the fuck are you complaining that they're putting hot women in our Sci-Fi shows? And who was the idiot who said this would make Roddenbury flip over in his grave? Did you WATCH the original episode? Kirk did the nasty with every hot alien chick in the universe. They just couldn't show more back then because the censors were stricter.
Personally, I think a little sexual/romantic tension is a GOOD thing. It gives the show dimension and a more realistic feel.
This was the best pilot for a Star Trek show ever, and you're talking like it's total trash. You know it's not, so stop finding excuses to trash it and watch it or don't watch it.
If you like Star Trek, you'll watch it and like it. If you don't, you won't. We all knew which camp we were in before we even saw the opening credits.
Now, about the theme music.... was I deaf during that part? I totally don't remember the singing at all, but I recognize some of the images. Wierd. Anyway, the singing I heard off the version linked to online was terrible, and I agree that it should be thrown out for some old-school orchestra music.
