No radar, just a guy with a map who pukes all the time

When they gave the Brits the B-17 earlier in the war, they didn't give them the super secret bomb sight. THOSE bastards had it hard.

all caught up on strange new worlds, it's definitely finding its feet with time
the doctor serves more purpose than just t&a, the pilot is no longer just a lesbian haircut but an actual person - albeit one who is still largely window dressing - uhura is no longer featured in super whiny and annoying character arcs
really beginning to enjoy it and i'm all caught up now
i still the show is run by idiots who repeatedly go about things the wrong way
they keep on introducing these game changing technologies that is over the top absurd because we know that future generations will never even mention these things before, it feels like just a series of "holdo manuevers" where they don't think through the obvious consequences of introducing that knowing full well that multiple generations will never use it even though it's literlaly the best thing ever and only reason they can survive
i really get the idea that this happens because they don't think they owe any continuation to the audience, once something serves its purpose, it is deus ex machina'd away from the doctor's daughter to yet another random event that magically solves everything
like the romulans have their entire invastion fleet present and are intent on destroying the enterprise which can't escape - kirk shows up to save the day bringing with him an entire faux armada of his own of mining drones under the pretense that since this is first contact, the romulans won't be able to tell the difference and these are advanced warships for all they know - despite that literally the first thing that ever happens in all first contacts in star trek is they scan the other ships systems and immediately know what their shields and weaponry capabilities are - the romulans do not do this just this once so the stupid plan can work - but then - here's the best part - it never mattered at all - the romulans just say yolo and decide to attack anyway even though it's now facing an entire armada - they immediately figure out it was a ruse, but the enterprise still escapes somehow because now they just decide it's more fun to shoot at unarmed drones than the only actual ship that was too slow to escape earlier but now apparently can do it
they are also creating a massive gorn problem, how is it that kirk who's fought the gorn in combat in this show is unfamiliar with them a few a years later - also, how is it that the gorn are the greatest enemy they've ever faced who relentlessly attack all settlements to eat the colonists are then never mentioned again - you just know they're going to wrap it up with some stupid "and the gorn agreed to never enter federation space again type thing
this show also really makes me appreciate the holodecks due to the flexibility they offer writers - whenever these guys want to have some kind of wacky plotline it's no longer a holodeck malfunction but now some "unexplained phenomena" and that pushes it closer to x files than star trek at times because it's just very transparent and clear they wanted to have a musical episode so they'll find the flimsiest excuse to launch it
but still, it's getting much better and definitely in the "enjoyable but with warts" category
tng>ds9>original>voyager>snw>picard
so i thought i'd dabble in enterprise
casting a long time character actor who i've seen in a million small roles in low budget things is really off putting and it makes me feel like i'm watching some cheap syndicated scifi like babylon 5 or stargate that lack the star trek gravitas (interestingly enough i've never seen a single episode of quantum leap so that's not even the part that throws me off)
but mostly, i just think he's a terrible actor
you can tell someone involved in casting loves bolt on titties
this is how we introduce our first female character
she is of course dressed like that because she's teaching a class at starfleet academy at that very moment - yes that's typical starfleet atire, not to mention real world educators also wear skimpy spaghetti tops to teach class - perhaps they just hand wave it away as casual friday
that one on it's own is not even worth mentioning, but it's relevant but with the other female the step it up to 11
in the very next scene we have another woman with basically 7 of 9's dimensions as well
but she's wearing typical space leotard uniform so it fits so whatever
so then another thing that grinds my gears is they are literally the first human ship ever to go out into the cosmos and interact with other civilizations - but they treat it like a weekend in des moines - no first contact protocol, no pomp and circumstance nor deference to being the first human ship to arrive to a new planet, they just pull in and go to the bar and have a drink and say "oh geeze these people act different than we do"
it's like it's a spaceship of mortys
and of course it wouldn't be a visit to a new planet without stopping by the strip club
and of course there's a pimp saying "you want to bang these girls, tell me which one and i'll make it happen and they are like oh geeze yeah that'd be nice but we kind of got a mission to do, but we'd really like to, maybe we'll come back after the mission"
literally a spaceship full of mortys
this is not star trek, there's nothing about it which feels like star trek
as different as picard is from the typical formula, it's still very in the star trek universe, just a cool trippy civilian life take on it all
this, no, not at all, i don't feel like anyone involved in it has ever even seen any episodes of any star treks in their life
and the vulcan, doesn't even say "sen-soar" she says sensors, that's like their vulcan thing, ears and they pronounce sensor funny - this one says it normally
and of course for reasons that serve absolutely nothing to the plot, literally nothing, they put her in a decontamination chamber without a bra
even literally panning down and zooming in on her chest
and doing intimate close up shots of her rubbing her body
for balance they have a six packed guy without a shirt doing the same
but this entire thing is just softcore porn, it's absurd
like wtf is this?
zooming in on the guy rubbing the small of her back
like seriously, wtf is this show?
it goes on for 3.5 minutes
three and a half minutes of airtime are given to that, something which serves absolutely no purpose at all for the plot
surely some people have watched enterprise, does it ever get good or even star trek adjacent? i can't imagine enduring more than the 2 part pilot i watched, which was terrible
