ent is bittersweet imo
for one it was the start of the edgy/grimdark theme which now prevails over all nu-trek, which was a mistake.
tho admittedly it wasnt nearly as bad as nu-trek.
but then it kinda sucked for the first half of its run, and RIGHT when it started to hit its stride:
CANCELLED
i mean cmon
TNG wasnt even really that good until near the end of 2nd season, and then it went on to be one of the most classic tv shows of its era
same thing with DS9 imo. 1st season kinda sucked and the acting was all over the place, but then they really got it together.
ent didnt hardly even get a chance, and the actors were all just starting to get into their roles, but muh tv studio dicks axed it anyways.
anyways, i remember being kinda let down with it as a kid, but last time i watched it the only thing that really rubbed me the wrong way was the post-911 era "we gotta go kill dem ebil terrorist muzzi-i-mean-aliens" iraq war agitprop that is littered across the whole xindi arc.
it was an alright show that imo was about to get great
but then they fucked us all and gave us blue balls for like a decade or so, only to come back with JJtrek and then, when we least expected it, tried to poz all our negholes with STD
now i hear theres yet another nu-trek series that im supposed to ignore and it all just makes me wanna start drinking again tbh
