The show was great! It had good stories, good actors (and hot babes .... jolene blalock rawrrrr) and stunning fx. The years of spin offs have caused star trek fatigue in us all but still Enterprise is in my favourite top 3 of all the series. I dont get why nobody liked Enterprise. The show was great!

Despite the bad effects I was still able to enjoy the movie. I liked Wolverine…except for the special effects. Despite the bad effects I was still able to enjoy the movie.

I am sorry about mixing you two up :( Guess I was to deep into my nerd rage to realize. . I'm going to watch ST:XI another time on Saturday (last time I saw it dubbed, this time in the OV. Hope the actual voices will help me to into the movie more, the English trailer felt better to me than the dubbed trailer). . And I think I really might have a weird movie taste, actually had a lot of fun watching Wolverine. Oh, you’re right. I am sorry about mixing you two up :(

I never tell anybody to do their homework. I never did mine. Just don't tell my kids. @Lenny

Just don’t tell my kids.

But if you put too many of these things in a movie, the movie start making no sense, because all you did was putting scenes after another that you thought would be cool. Resulting in things like making a cadet Captain. Manning a whole ship with cadets fresh from the academy. Placing a red monster with an exoskeleton in a ice desert to be defeated by a guy who found material to create a torch in an ice cave w/o any visible vegetation nearby, Beaming scotty into a tube - in such a way that it's funny and allows Kirk to rescue him, etc. . Sure, each of these scenes taken for itself might be ok... but the amount of these scenes... . And it's not to tell a story. Most of these scenes are just there for the sake of it. The Enterprise had to enter warp later, so Sulu makes a fool of himself. Kirk needs to know that it's Nero, so a storm in space is mentioned. Nimoy needed a role, so that stupid ice planet scene was shot, also adding the transwarp beaming and the water tube incident. Scotty needed to have an iconic moment as well, so Kirk didn't just watch the ship getting destroyed but fires weapons that don't deal damage at it until it's too late, etc. . And after your "do your homework" comment earlier, I'd really like to know where you got that Warp shuttle idea from. I might be mistaken, but so far all my "research" seems to indicate I was right. . . Just found this one "Wow. Someone is trying to pick a trek fight with Rico. and not doing very well." Not sure here, TBH :) I totally agree.
