Actually, it was the ships and the Captains voicing over that did it.
Mal: Then I call it a win. What's the problem? Inara: Should I start with the part where you're stranded in the middle of nowhere, or the part where you have no clothes?

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

The thing at the very end? With different ships and the different captains all giving us the "Space, the Final Frontier" speech ?
Also sad.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Huh. I thought it was really, really, really bad. What an insultingly stupid way for Trip to die, on top of everything else.

Did you guys think that the Rygelians (or whatever the kidnappers were) looked like the Wraith? Because I did.

Jessica, it would have been great had they been able to do a regular character death, you know during the series. Even a senseless one -- but Enterprise just wasn't that show.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I did, sumi. Also those ghosty things from Matrix 2.
It was not bad, but not great either. And in my heart I know it was just shite.
But, yeah, the voiceovers had me a little misty-eyed.
And I was pleased that I finally figured out that Archer's Enterprise just didn't have a registry number etc, and that was why Kirk's had no letter after it. only took me, what, four years?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
He really was fairly awful, even if some of his points were spot on. But then they do that on SG-1 anyway: they bring on a character and have them make some really good, compelling arguments pointing out the SGC's arrogance, stupidity, or blind luck. And then they undercut them completely because OMGSG-1isalwaysright11111!!!!11!
Yeah, it's not that Rodney's points are at all unreasonable in 48 Hours. It's just that he's such an asshole about how he goes about making them. (And then I get grumpy, because he gets the "oh, really under all that he's vulnerable!" fannish edit, which I only have patience for when it's my favorite characters getting it. So.)
Kinsey, anyone? Katoya? Wassname the Russian scientist? Hell, all the Russians, really.
The one truly wonderful thing about Politics is that Kinsey is completely right. They really would have been much better off never opening the Stargate in the first place.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I know they never talk in detail about the advances in technology and medicine they've made due to stargate travel, since that'd make their universe even more divergent from ours, but even not counting the whole "they'll get to us later rather than sooner, but they'll get to us" I think I disagree with you.
Or perhaps regard it as inevitable. I doubt if Kinsey had been put in charge at the git go that he wouldn't have opened it. Severely doubt.
