Well, I liked it
By Anus Moses

I must say I generally disagree with the review. (I'm late - I just watched it tonight via Tivo).

This was pretty much a nice re-launch of the show, right down to them..... well, launching again. (The ship, I mean.)

Wasn't that Hetzler playing the Klingon commander at the opening? I forgot to check the credits.

Yes, the young 'augments' did look like an old Ratt video - and the dialogue among them was a bit boring, predictable and silly. However, it could have been worse. Think Khan in ST II, deliciously employing Shakespeare at many a turn. Then think ST VI and Kang, spewing the Bard like a malfunctioning lawn sprinkler. If they had uttered one single Shakespeare phrase, I might have gagged. So they quote Nietzsche instead....... eh. Ok. I give up. They were kinda corny.

But everything else was quite a bit of fun. There was light comedy and lots of action and it was fun. Something that I have to admit has been missing from Trek for a while.

And the wrestler guy - Big Show - didn't know who he was til I read here. I liked that guy. He was neat.

But hey, Ted Cassidy was on TOS once. And everybody knew him as Lurch by that time.

Perhaps a by-product of genetic engineering is hammy acting. Khan Noonian Singh certainly left that impression. Who better from the TNG era to pick up the gauntlet of Ham than Spiner.

Last disassociative thought and I'll wrap it up - have you ever noticed that Spiner's most non-Spiner character is Data? Every other time I've seen him play someone else on Trek - he comes across like, well, like Soong here.

Maybe the guy is just naturally creepy.

:)

All in all, a fun episode. The show has a different feel. And as for the T'pol - Tucker thing, well they just can't DROP it now can they? I mean, if they did, ya'll would be bitching that they did so (Yet another forgotten plot thread! etc)
