My other issue with Enterprise (okay, one of my issues) is that it's actually not that bad a show. No worse than Andromeda or Mutant X.
No worse than Andromeda? Could you set a lower bar?

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, sure. Tracker comes to mind.

The microbes fail for me because they still use alien words for which there seems to be a direct English equivalent (Trek does this too, all the freaking time).
This has now twice made it into faculty summaries I'm typing up. I'm tempted to leave it, just to see if anyone reads the damn things.

I am realising this is me and language. Except in The 13th Warrior. That just makes me laugh.
Absolutely get the button thing. I'm sure I have some. Haven't seen 13th Warrior, but it's probably in the Netflix queue.
Heh. Emily funny.

I knew you'd say that, but I already had two posts in a row, and I didn't want to triple-cereal calling you out.
But now I have to admit that I think Andromeda is worse.

Worse than Adrian Paul trying to play a mysterious alien and ending up looking like someone mentally deficient? I have a hard time believing that.

See, Andromeda has previously interesting characters competing to see whose tongue can go the furthest up Dylan's (and by transparent extrapolation, Sorbo's) rectum. I can't say as I've seen comparable onscreen ego-gymnastics, ever.
Plus, it's nigh incomprehensible. I think that a worse crime than too simple.

Tracker was just bad -- Andromeda started out interesting and then fell apart.

Yeah, but that's why I'm comparing Enterprise to Mutant X and Andromeda. The potential is there. I know I liked Scott Bakula and thought he could act, once upon a time, and there are at least two or three other people on the show who definitely can act.
What I really need is good fic. But surprise, surprise, no one's writing it.

I never thought Mutant X had potential. But there were two eps I solidly liked this season, plus a couple more brought in the HoYay. So much more than I expected when I signed up.
I can't believe all my syndicated sff is going away!
