Enterprise: "Awakening" (Spoilers)

Re: Enterprise: \"Awakening\" (Spoilers)

I'll bet its been even longer since we have had so many different opinions about things that took place in a Trek episode.

HEHE, yea, for quite some time before this season (some of last season was pretty good, but, it got old for me by the end of the season) you typically got, "it sucked" or "it didn't suck too bad this week", Voyager included.

I've boycotted Enterprise since the beginning of S2. Several people have told me that I MUST tune in as it's getting better. That's an understantement if this episode is an example of what is happening to the show.

I may actually watch then next one...first run instead of the second showing.

Here's a little preview of the upcoming episodes, courtesy of Ain't It Cool News... I'm pasting it here to spare you all being forced to endure its horrible color scheme:

4.8-4.9: In the conclusion of the Vulcan arc, T’Pau, Surak and Archer’s Andorian pal Shran turn up.

4.10: In “Daedalus,” co-written by Alan Brennert & Ken LaZebnik, we meet the inventor of the transporter. He is played by Bill Cobbs and not Jeff Goldblum, and he has a plan to eliminate starships entirely.

4.11: The Stevenses (“The Forge”) return with “Observer Effect,” an episode about a deadly crew virus.

4.12-4.14: An epic Andorian arc features Tellarites, Vulcans and (hey now!) the mysterious Romulans.

With 4.15, “Affliction,” it appears we get a kind-of prequel to the 1996 “Deep Space Nine” episode “Trials and Tribble-ations.” Remember how Worf, horrified at sorry state of Klingon visages in Kirk’s era, explains to his fellow Starfleet officers that the human-like appearance of the Klingon warriors was nothing to be discussed with non-Klingons?

It’s a question that’s been haunting fandom for a quarter century, since the bumpy heads made their debut in the opening minutes of “Star Trek: The Motion Picture.” When several TOS Klingons characters grew bumpy heads and visited DS9, I think Ira Behr explained it away to TV Guide by saying Klingons grow bumps as they get old. But I think I also think I read a Star Trek graphic novel or something that suggested there were actually TWO races of Klingons, one with bumpy heads, one without.

According to an article at TrekWeb.com, we will see Klingons inject green fluid into other Klingons - green fluid that may make many of them look like “comedian” and "Last Comic Standing" fixture Rich Vos!

I was about to start carrying on about the ridiculous Klingon bumpy-head thing, but then saw the source of this "scoop."

Seriously, they can't be that lame...

Heh. I'll let you go on believing that. Not that I'm necessarily saying the spoilers are true, but yes, I believe TIIC can be that lame.
