/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I will stand up for ENT.
Sure it has issues, but the idea of having this prototype ship and going out there into the unknown is super cool. It has solid enough acting, especially by Scott Bacula and Connor Trinneer, with good support from John Billingsly and Linda Park. The rest of the main cast can be hit or miss, although the writing can also be blamed for that a lot of the time, you can only work with what you got. As usual Jeffrey Combs is all over this, making it a true Star Trek show. The stories can be very much hit or miss as well, but it has some excellent stuff in there.
I feel like ENT has a lot of good with the bad and is worth a watch for sure.
ENT was better than Voyager, but the self-sabotaging theme song really hurt it.
All of Berman's sex-obsessed decontamination scenes get looked down on, but if Roddenberry was still alive and finally had his way, there would probably have been much more gratuitous scenes than applying gell to each other. ๐คช
Dr Phlox was a fantastic character who regularly faced character development.
T'Pol had tons of difficult struggles and she never let her beliefs be compromised even if it meant punishment for not selling out others. She went through a lot of trauma and found herself deep in drug addiction in S3
Travis and Hoshi were great characters too. They could have used more character development opportunities IMHO but they were pretty badass at what they did.
The pre-kirk/spock bond between archer and T'pol was heartwarming. They really came to trust each other by being there for each other.
But some of the most unique and special elements of ENT were :
Extremely well put. Congratulations. I don't think I can agree more with any of this. Also the whole Xindi arc was awesome in my opinion.
Fuck that opening song though. I hope I never hear it again.
Enterprise is my favorite and I don't care what anyone thinks.
Jonathan Archer boldly ignores the best advice of his entire senior staff, then learns why he should have listened. He's not a glistening golden Starfleet captain, he's a napo navy baby in space and it shows. It's fuckin well done goddamnit.
Trip and Phlox are delightful characters and are among the most flushed out in Trek. Also Porthos is there. Who else had pets? Data. And no one else. And we love Data.
It's my wife's favorite Star Trek (she loves T'Pol), largely because it was a re-watch of this that got her into Star Trek. She and I were both NASA nerds as kids (both having attended Space Camp) and ENT does a great job of bridging the space program we know with the Star Trek we know.
It was much better than I expected ngl
It's been a looooong road
