O.Deus, are you mad? 7/10!!! What’s all that about? Overstuffed? Have you ever seen Babylon 5? I'd say Azati Prime was like one of those amazingly cool B5 eps, that loads off into onto you, there’s nothing wrong or unintelligent about that. I had to admit, I found myself backing up some scenes to re-listen to them, such as the future scene, but other than that it was beautifully paced, amazingly constructed and simply breathtaking. Are you watching Ent on a 14" black and white TV Deus? How could you rate the VFX and Production design only 7.5? I would place a healthy bet that 'Prime' will be an Emmy nominee for best FX, they were, frankly, the best ever effects you could expect out of a TV screen. The detail in the ocean, the whole ship being torn apart, the insides collapsing, the bridge, engineering and corridors smashed, burned and crumbled. IMO, Ent, like all the Trek series' before it, has televisions best CGI and technical work, and 'Prime' certainly raised the bar a good few notches more.

My only complaint; I am gonna have to watch it a second time (no bad thing but its 4am now and I can’t wait until tomorrow until I see it again) :)

Seriously thought, Season 3 for Ent has been an amazing treat, and these last few eps are really gearing to something special (hopefully). I know this is a long shot, but those who have slated the show in the past I think really need to re-think it all. Think about it. If you compare Ent seasons 1 and 2, to JUST the first two seasons of TNG, DS9 and VOY, I know its hard, possibly even impossible to strip them down to JUST those seasons, but truthfully compare ENT's first two, to their first two, and there really isn’t that much difference. The way I see it, ENT had no brothers to depend on when it came out, unlike DS9 resting on the shoulders of TNG and VOY resting on DS9's. Yes, ENT has its shortcomings, but let’s give it chance, huh? DS9 didn’t take off until its third year, nor did TNG and it took Voyager until its fourth, IMO. The thing about DS9 and VOY though, was that they both had diversions until they took off, in the form of the shows that they overlapped with, Ent doesn’t have this luxury, but if we bear with it, then the payoff is likely to be worth it, hopefully. If season three is any indication, then I cannot see why ENT wont travel down the same road TNG and DS9 did.

I would rate Azati Prime a solid, 9/10.
