simply a good show
By neshama

O. deus (too aptly named) is again being too hard on Enterprise. He (or she) reminds me too much of the parents of a kid who are angry and disappointed when he brings home only an A minus on an exam or makes second violin in the school orchestra or JV in soccer - unless it it exactly what he is looking for, he is angry and ready to turn his back on the whole enterprise, so to speak. This show is good, and The Forge was really good. There was mystery, adventure, surprise, interesting characters and yes continuity too. Was it Hamlet? No. But it was quite simply better and more intriguing than anything else you could have seen on TV that night. For the younger generation, who aren't as focused on 40 years of continuity and simply want to be excited and introduced to the wonders of good SF, this show is the best thing out there. Apparently, for reasons that elude me, the actors, writers and producers of Enterprise seem to read these notes, and because O.Deus is your lead reviewer, his negative and depressing reviews get the most attnetion. He is killing something wonderful. Look at the audience votes and you will see a truer picture of what people think - Enterprise is (most of the time, and especially under Manny Coto) excellent TV. Because of the nature of SF, requiring invention and surprise and novelty, it isn't as easy to create a top-notch show week after week - you can't rely on stock jokes and stock situations. Enterprise does a good job of exciting and entertaining. Please let it thrive by letting it be what it is - good SF - and condemning it for what it is not, some impossible ideal combination of theatre/literature. Be a little forgiving and appreciate what you have.
