Enterprise: Stardate 2005.04.22
Okay, I know that at least Harley and King Sip watched it, and maybe a few of the rest of you. What'd you think?
I obviously loved the costumes on Jolene Blalock and Linda Park. Unfortunately, the goofy leather gear on the male actors does the same thing that the similar gear did in the TNG episode Yesterday's Enterprise: it made them look goofy.
They've got a mere handful of episodes before they tank the series, and I question their decision to use several of the final episodes as an opportunity to explore the Mirror universe. It was somewhat interesting when they did it every so often on Deep Space Nine. I don't have a big problem with it, but it seems like an easy way out of writing something original.
I realize that this episode was scripted, and probably filmed, maybe even edited and finished, before they announced that Enterprise was going to be cancelled. Even so, it seems sort of asinine that they're not using the last six or seven episodes to really do a strong, cinematic wrap-up to the series.
Even so, I enjoyed it so far. Beyond the female costuming, it was nice to see a real Tholian for the first time. A lot of this begs the question: Why weren't they doing this kind of stuff the first three seasons? Why were they so damned preachy and political when they could have been action packed? Enterprise had a lot of potential, and if they'd done action episodes like this during the first couple of seasons, instead of some of the tripe they actually did, they could have easily made it to the customary seven seasons of the preceding incarnations.
Anyway, enough about what I think. What did you think?
