okay, mister... you get minus brownie points for dissing enterprise...

Actually, I *like* the "slowness", which I call "drama".  Did I ever tell
anyone my favorite genre of shows is Sci-fi Drama?  There aren't enough of
'em so I generally watch either Sci-fi or Drama, but Enterprise has come
pretty close to a Sci-fi Drama so I like it.  Now, the previous Star Treks
weren't so Drama-ish.  I like this new turn of style...

I see this series as a story about the first explorers of space, not as
another Star Trek series.  Another Star Trek series would have been lame
and old.  This is new and exciting :)

I recorded tonight's episode (thank you for not giving away spoilers,
btw.)  I'll watch out for the commercial.
