Rewatching The Measure of a Man.

This episode is so much less interesting or enjoyable after Kurtz Trek.

I always Lol@ the strange and really bad digitally-edited people they made for the Cold Station 12 episode of Enterprise, namely Smike's parents, Miklos Karlovassi and Irina Karlovassi:

No wonder they turned out weird, their parents were Command and Conquer villains!

Look at the list of actors and actresses...

Well...that's certainly odd. But then again sometimes you get this sort of thing: actors appear in something together, and then later on they will appear together again in the same series or genre, because someone on the production staff or the actors themselves namedrop the other person because of that earlier connection, and then lo and behold they too are asked to feature in it.

Nearing the end of watching every series of Enterprise, have probably watched it several times to completion over the years, and it always makes me sad that it ended after 4 seasons. I don't get that feeling with any other Star Trek series, as with the others I very much felt that they ended when they needed to end, but with Enterprise I feel that there was so much more to say and do.

I think they planned on doing the Romulan war in the fifth season from what i remember and then lead into the on screen foundation of the federation. Shame we never got to see them.

If they covered all that in another couple of seasons I would have happily settled for six seasons being the complete run.

Hm...

Indeed. I also noticed something like this in Stargate with several Star Trek actors/actresses, although I don't recall if they were directly alongside each other in the episodes.

Season 4 was definitely where the series was hitting its stride, and I liked the balance they struck between the serialized and episodic styles (maybe slightly more episodic but still good).

With Enterprise, it would've been nice if they swapped out the whole Temporal Cold War / Xindi Conflict thing in favor of a slow buildup to war with the Romulans, kept Berman's mitts off of it, minimized bringing in completely new aliens and focused on 'introducing' already-established ones, etc. I did like the balance of power politics they had between the Vulcans, Andorians, Tellerites, Romulans, Klingons, etc., especially the proxy conflicts they showed with places like Coridan and P'Jem.

Also, should've gone with the original intro theme instead of that...song.

Same. Would have liked another few seasons.

*Inhale*

It's been a long road
Getting from there to here
It's been a long time
But my time is finally near
And I can feel the change in the wind right now
Nothing's in my way
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No, they're not gonna hold me down

It is a pretty good song. I wouldn't say it fits as a theme song for a Star Trek show, but the song itself is pretty good.

Well originally they were gona use Archers theme which Stellar Colonies linked above, which is a pretty damn good ST theme song imo, but then someone higher up made them change it iirc

Is it just me that wants to see an entire multi-season spinoff series of Star Trek set in the mirror universe? Seeing humans being total asshats across the quadrant just seems so much more believable.

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2021 1:36 pm**

Oh yeah, I like the song itself. It's pretty good.

But not as a Star Trek intro

That would be interesting to see...although some would argue that it wouldn't feel very different from the other NuTrek series.

I haven't watched any of the new series yet, so I can't accurately or honestly say whether or not that would be true.

Eh. Mirror universe stories in general work best when done occasionally. A whole series of such stereotypically evil people would get tiresome. Like could you stand a whole series focusing on someone like Intendent Kira?

We already have that.

Sy-Fy has a show staring Alan Tudyk as an alien pretending to be a doctor. Why did no one tell me about this?

Probably only gonna last a season though.
