My problems with Enterprise spring up when they tried to tie it in to the rest of Star Trek. Example: The Borg episode from season 2. Not only were the Borg unnecessary in Enterprise, but they try to tie into both First Contact, with these Borg having been frozen in the arctic for almost 100 years, and then into TNG, with the comment that they may have just postponed the invasion for a couple hundred years (basically until we first see then in TNG). Or in the first season when the Captain hoped stat, someday, someone would write "a directive" as to what they can and can't do, obvioulsy refering to the Prime Directive.

The show was alright, and it was fun, but it screwed up a lot.

I don't think ricar forgot that scene, but there's a wonderful example. Star Wars was a wonderful fluke for GL, and he did the right thing -- he let someoen better than himself take the reins for sequels. But somewhere down the line, it all got too big for him. He figured we'd eat it up no matter what, and that, hey, if he did it all, he doesn't have to pay someoen else to do it. Well, he was right. People still eat it up, but he disenfranchised so many fans in the process. Someday Star Wars will finally die (or GL will), and I think we'll all be better for it.

I enjoyed Enterprise, but I tried to keep it out of the rest of my Star Trek. It's fun, but it tried too hard sometimes. I only wish I could own all the Star Trek on DVD.

I'd love to have a discussion on Kubrick's films, but I do agree that perhaps the Off-Topic forum would be a better place for it. I agree with Cassidy, for the most part. I mean, Kubrick is dead. Hard to argue that.

Now, let me get this straight. Gaffer says two different things -- contradicting things, at that (that there should be an epilogue scene ending the war, and that the war goes on for years afterwards) and Adam agrees with both. Why not contradict the first point the first time?

This goes back to "the fool or the fool who follows..." except that I don't think Gaffer a fool.

You're right, too. When it was just the three films, you could make your own reasons for why things happened, and couldn't be told you were wrong. Now, GL has told us why things happened, but makes even less sense than we did.

I hate the University football season. My U of S Huskies play the Laval Rouge et Or (who beat them in last year's Vanier Cup, the top prize in the country) Saturday to determine who goes to the Vanier Cup, and there's currently a foot of snow on the ground and a forecast temperature of, well, actually, not as cold as I thought, but it'll still be cold.

In my experience, a little grain makes it feel like a real film. It gives it some character. That's why, as amazing as the new transfer of Wizard of Oz is, if they'd got rid of the grain feel entirely, it'd just be too soft.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that film grain could have saved TPM, even.

Adam, s0ometimes I really don't get you. One minute, you're bashing "Luca$" and "McCashum," the next, you turn around and say that you'll love anything GL puts out. And when someone calls your bluff and insults you, you agree with them! What's up with that?

Film grain, I believe he means. Make it look more like a film and less like a cartoon.
