ENT Forum Get To Know You Thread Pt 2

[jespah]

Hi. This is a little late. I’ve been lurking for a while, and now I’m posting. I’ve been a Star Trek fan as long as I can remember, and the first episode I remember seeing was The Menagerie (don’t remember which part). Talosians scare me to this day! I grew up on Trek reruns and TAS. Along came the movies and TNG. As adulthood became busier, I spent less time with Trek, and barely know DS9, VOY, and ENT as well. The Borg are my favorite bad guys, so I know VOY a little better.

I was in an accident last fall, and still recovering. I took a leave of absence from teaching, and to pass the time I’ve been re-watching Star Trek. I call myself a reborn Treker. Someone here had a viewing order of all Trek in their signature and it’s been my guide. I’m in the middle of season 3 of ENT. ENT could be my favorite incarnation of Trek.

I miss teaching. I love the Trek manuals, and recently read Federation: First 150 Years. I really enjoyed the textbook feel it had. I’m thinking of writing my own series of Starfleet Academy books.

Hit me up, I’d love to talk. Love meeting people, talking, laughing. Like I said, I’ve been around here a while. I’ve read a lot of comments. I really respect a lot of you. Some, though, rub me the wrong way; it’s like making out with a Suliban. I tend to shy away from those who like to overanalyze things, nitpick, or just possess a superior attitude. I avoid confrontations. Debates are fine as long as they’re contained. To quote my favorite TV series, “Just repeat to yourself "It's just a show, I should really just relax.”

Live long and prosper.

Hi Randy! Call me jes.

Can't go wrong when you quote MST3K.

Hope you're feeling better.

Welcome, allstar77! Yeah, if MST3K is your favorite television series then you'll fit in quite well with the folks around here. Quite a few Misties on this board, and I'm definitely one of 'em. Enjoy yourself!

You'll be fine. Just remember: Trip's not really dead. You'll go far.

Well, of course not. Where would anyone get a silly idea like that?

Hi guys...

Just found the Enterprise Blu Rays at stupidly low prices on Amazon UK and snapped them up!

Like most people here I've been a Trek fan pretty much my whole life. Grew up watching and immersing myself in the original show on the BBC in the 70's.

Then came TNG in the mid to late 80's which I loved. DS9 followed and I thought it was OK, Voyager past me by though. I just couldn't get into it. I'm guessing I was Trekked out by then...

Enterprise came along, and I think I missed it first time round. I watch Broken Bow on Sky when it premiered and I liked it, but it didn't grip me. I watched the first couple of episodes but my interest wained...

Enterprise then came out on DVD on year and they were on offer on Amazon, so I picked them up... And I was hooked again! I could not believe I missed it first time around. It's easily spin off show most like the original show...

Such a shame they killed the show off at the end of series four. I'd love to have seen how the show evolved...

Just working my way through the Series One blu ray extras now. Blimey! Brannon Braga is brutally honest about himself and the show in the To Boldly Go... Documentaries. Can't wait to see how this pans out over the box sets....

Welcome!

/sets out the good china/

What kind of pie would you like?

 

[cooleddie74]

Welcome! Hope you enjoy yourself and have fun posting!

 

[Steve White]

Cheers guys!

mmmm pie.....

Possibly a daft question but whats the consensus on the best Enterprise series?

I love Series Two, but for me it has to be Series Four. That was when the whole "Prequel" thing rally kicked in. I loved watching the way everything evolved over the course of the season, gradually shaping the things we all knew from the Original Series onwards.

The show died far too soon...

 

[jespah]

Best season? I'm guessing that most of us would say 3 or 4 (I go for the 3rd, m'self).

 

[cooleddie74]

Best: 4th.
Runner-up: 3rd (the yearlong Xindi story arc).

 

[eyeresist]

Possibly a daft question but whats the consensus on the best Enterprise series?

Opinion is divided between 3 and 4. I favour 3 myself, but it's all good.


Seasons greetings to all my fellow ENT fans! The nicest Trek fans are fans of ENT, VOY and TFF, because they are the least likely to repeatedly spew venom at people with different tastes. I love youse guys!
