And as for "Mirror Darkly, Part 2", I... um... kinda... liked it...
well, I officially hate my Tivo. Apparently, it forgot to record IaMD pt 1 from last week when i was at the beach, and i had to reset it so it could record this weeks installment (which I liked though i did feel it was too drawn out). However, the thing that set me off the most was really my fault, though i don't want to admit it. I set it to record Improbable Cause and the Die is Cast as this is the only major DS9 two-parted I;ve never seen. I start watching the Cause at about 12 at night, and I am tired, though the episode is great and i can;t wait to se the next one. as I am calling it up, i quickly flash through a seies of menus and commands on my tv to load the next ep. Unfortunantly it was the set of commands for deleting an ep. Without knowing it, i just totally screwed myself over. 
Now I have to wait till the next run through to catch it.

Listen to the BigFoot. The BigFoot is wise.
BigFoot, I must say that Sin City av of yours is still the coolness 
I may have to go back to Gail while I plan my next one. What movie will we promote next anyway??
No, I'm not trying to bump the thread up. Of course not!!

Hmmm...good question. Well, Episode 3 is coming out this month, so we could do that. I might also make myself an Appleseed (anime that's coming out on DVD in 8 days, I've never seen it, but it looks cool) av sometime soon.
Well of course not. None of us would even dream of it.
I'd agree here, it was a LOT like TOS (especially season 1) and did get creamed for it, and deservedly so. Of course, at the time, there was nothing else, so it was an easy comparison to make. I'm glad that happened, though, it forced them to give TNG its own identity, which led to it being a much better series, IMO.
I never really heard that much, but at that point there weren't many communities like this, I was just talking to a few friends. I didn't care that much for DS9 originally, but I got into it later, about the third season.
I'd beg to differ here. Voyager is getting crapped on because its premise was flawed, a lot of the stories were just as badly written as Enterprise, and it had nothing new to offer. It certainly never reached anything close to TNG.
Well.... TNG had its own unique characters, sure, but I think great writing made it good sci-fi, though episodic. There were few recurring plots, and even those were only occasionally dealt with (things like Data's heritage and family, Troi's mother, etc). DS9 broke the mold from Star Trek and created a storyline, a drama, with recurring storylines that you saw every week, or at least every couple of weeks. That's what made it so great, and so unique.
It was compared to Voyager, I think, because of the "eye candy" that became prominent in the last seasons of Voyager and in the first couple of seasons of Enterprise. Also, the writing of Enterprise was reminiscent of Voyager, to me. Taking after the original isn't a bad thing, and an upgrade in comparison, at least.
I think Enterprise had its chance to be its own series, but failed due to poor writing, not due to comparisons to other series. All of the other series were compared, as you just said, and yet somehow overcame in their second or third season (except Voyager, I'd argue, but I'm a wee bit anti-Voyager, can you tell?). Enterprise doesn't have much of an excuse at this point. I've heard numerous times that season four was better, but I'd have to say too little, too late.
As for the crossover with TNG, I don't believe it's appropriate at all, and I feel for the Enterprise fans on that. I'm not going to say I like the show, but the people who do watch the show deserve an ending with the characters they've loved for four years, not with TNG characters at the center of the plot. If they wanted to do a crossover, they should've done it some other time than the season finale, IMO.
But then, that's just me.
Yep, I feel her comingPosted by BigFoot:

I'll probably put her back up today.I haven't heard of Appleseed before. I really haven't watched much anime lately other than a few eps of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.
Ep3 was my thought, but I couldn't remember if anything else special was coming out before then. I'll have to find something cool for it and go from there. Till then, the lovliness of Gail will have to do

If Vash was still in yellow rather than green I might - might - be concerned. As it is...
Absolutely no respect, I get around here.
