Watching Enterprise for the very first time

  Enterprise is a lot better if you assume the crew is supposed to be inept, inexperienced and kinda stupid.

  That makes zero sense considering humans have been exploring for centuries and already come up with protocols to handle the situations that seem to repeatedly cause issues for the NX-01 crew, but maybe thinking isn’t helpful for enjoying the show.

    Every day this world gets dumber and dumber and yet I’m still surprised by how completely incompetent and unstable the main ENT crew (sans T’Pol and Phlox) are. It is something that even by 2024 standards these people probably could probably not get through a week working at Walmart without fighting a stranger or sexually harassing their coworker.

    Yes! They are so fallible, and believably so most the time, that I really appreciated their missteps.

    The only time I didn’t appreciate thinking was when it decontamination time. I just pretend it is like watching an old b/w show with an embedded detergent ad: an unfortunate relic of its time that is just baked into it.

      Decontamination time is fucking stupid. Like, the idea of it is good because we literally did that with Apollo, but in practice it’s just a chance to have semi-erotic fanfic play out as canon.

      The horniess of the early 2000s makes Gene’s vision of the Original Series seem downright conservative.

    Getting from there to here 👌

    For the first two seasons I would listen to right up I til the title card disappeared, just long enough for the first two verses and that sweet whiff of a strings section.

  So you’re enjoying pro-slavery messages and zombie-apocalypse episodes in your star treks? Huh.

    I can’t tell if you’re joking or if you’re literally referring to Storm Front and Impulse lol. I don’t know too many Storm Front fans but I thought Impulse was generally considered a good episode by the fan base.
