Anime Question
Time
Did any of you ever pic up that other Manga magazine over here in the states, Raijin comics?

It had much more mature stories and was, from my understanding, relatively untouched in the wording department compared to the original
(besides translating it).

Too bad they cancelled the publication around May of last year, just as I was getting into it.

Anyway, in reference to the *original* topic, I'm 17 and I grew up watching the SE's.

I had only seen the OOT a year before the SE's came out with the "faces" boxset, so I didn't have the 19+ years experience with them as some of you had, but after the "new car smell" so to speak faded from the SE's, I realized that they were just revisionist crap and that most of the scenes were redundant and pointless.

When the Prequels came along 3 years later they just didn't have the feel or the "soul" that I found in every movie of the OOT, I don't think they are the finest movies in the world but I am not a Prequel-hater.

Enterprise Finale
Time
Meh, I thought the Finale could have been great if only they had done some more editing and edited out the whole Riker/Troi subplot.

If I wanted to see Riker or Troi I could watch TNG.

When I want to see the story of Archer and the NX-01, I watch Enterprise.

For an earlier episode, the backstory may have been a nice touch, maybe, but for the finale? I wanted a totally 22nd century, NX-01 crew story for that.
