Space Nazis!

[F. King Daniel]

When I saw the finale of the Xindi story, and we got that shot of the alien nazi, I laughed. I mean, it's Star Trek - of course time travelling aliens were involved in World War II! Silly stuff like that goes with the territory.

I didn't think "Storm Front" was a great two-parter, but it was enjoyable enough in a cheesy, goofy way. Enterprise flying low and taking on german planes armed with plasma cannons was like something from a warped comic book (and I mean that in a good way).

Also, Vosk starting the time war from a timeline created as a result of the time war makes no sense whatsoever. But that's to be expected of TCW stories.

Where does everyone stand on the Space Nazis?

Space Nazis are a time-honored Trek tradition, dating back to 1968 in TOS and used again in 1998 in VOY -- using Space Nazis in ENT in 2004 continued the tradition.

I was actually quite ticked off about the "cliffhanger." And really ticked off with Stormfront. I would have preferred a better episode about the crew's homecoming (perhaps even a two-parter).

Instead we got a really bad "wrap up" of the TCW.

eta: Adding insult to injury that this was Enterprise's last season and a truncated one at that.

Nothing wrong with the Space Nazis.

I think Space Nazis are awesome. And I’m Jewish!

The VOY Nazis were, if I recall correctly, neither "space" (being Earth-set holograms) nor Nazis, just Hirogen meanies dressed in SS duds.

Never seen the ep, but it sounds pretty juvenile and lame to me. There's something JiNX-01 and I can finally agree upon.

Sticking Aliens in SS duds is the standard recipe for "Space Nazi". Thats the way TOS did it and thats good enough for me.

Didn't Voyager also have space nazis in another episode where Janeway hid the ship's telepaths in the transporter during inspections?

Not nazi uniforms, but still nazis.

Exactly. It was stupid, pointless and just plain silly. And those cliched secondary "resistance" characters. Oh, please. Space Nazis are every bit as terrible as Space Hippies, and I hate them from the bottom of my heart.

Weak. Laaaaame. Really, really unnecessary. Please, Powers that Be, never resort to Space Nazis/Hippies ever again. Ever.

I got the feeling that when we got the reveal at the end of 3 with the "Nazi" it was almost a ploy by the producers to save them from cancellation. There's no way they could have ended a series with that shocker.

 

[Mytran]

The ones in Ent were not just Space Nazis (like the ones in Patterns of Force, who actually had some interstellar capability as well) but the next step up in silliness -
ALIEN Space Nazis...Of The FUTURE!!!

 

[CommanderRaytas]

God dammit, I hadn't considered that!

Are the alien space nazis of the future responsible for the outbreak of sex addiction? They are, aren't they? The scientists were right, and we....didn't listen. WE DIDN'T LISTEN!

When I saw the finale of the Xindi story, and we got that shot of the alien nazi, I laughed.

Well, that was a far better response than I had. There I was, watching the season finale of what started to be a much better season of ENT than what had come before, the Xindi arc was finally concluded, and then the final scene shows some alien in an SS uniform? WTF??? I can truthfully say that I was extremely pissed off. I went to bed with all kinds of unhappiness that night.

I don't think Star Trek has given us enough space Nazis. They should be the secondary villains in the next movie. That would be good. Come to think of it, the romulan war movie dropped after they decided to go with Abram's reboot had Tiberious Chase getting a nuke from an Antarctic secret Nazi base. I now feel deprived. We could have had more space Nazis.

Being a Hirogen in a SS uniform makes one a Space Nazi.

 

[BillJ]

Loved it, also liked Storm Front.

 

[Jack Bauer]

I love Space Nazis...you can kill 'em all and not feel bad at all. I just wish that Manny Coto had gone wild and made Storm Front even more out there. His approach was too mild and laid back. I wanted more scenery chewing from my space Nazis...these dudes were too serious.

Even without the Nazi ideology?
Kirk and Spock also wore the uniforms, does that make them Space Nazis too?

When they showed a glimpse of the Space Nazi at the end of season three I was disappointed but the actual episodes were fun entertainment.
