As a Matt Smith hater I have to report that he’s even more irritating in comic book form. It’s like the artists were only allowed to use reference shots where he’s flailing that twiggy little index finger like he's casting a spell. Putting him next to Picard is a war crime.

hahaha holy shit that looks like some Deep Baked Meme crap but I'm quite easily convinced that was a commercial product

This looks like PilotRedSun drew it.
 
wait now I'm confused is that really George Droid in a shitpost or is this a shitty comic that just happens to look like George Of Droid

Fans weren’t nearly as autistic as Braga made us out to be. We’d already gotten our fill of holograms and time travel and were just bracing for this new show to repeat those mistakes.

I'd say the Temporal Cold War was what really doomed Enterprise.

The whole premise of the show was that we'd get to see Starfleet in its infancy and how the Federation came to be. Instead, most of the show's primary story arc focused on Enterprise being dragged into a war too vague to really understand. Usually, they'd just say "This isn't how things are supposed to go!", but we don't know how things are supposed to go.

The crew we follow can easily be replaced with any other show's crew and nothing would change. The only time they really take advantage of the show's status as a prequel for this arc is in late Season 3, where a time traveler struggles to explain why Captain Archer, essentially the George Washington of the Federation, can't go on a suicide mission.

The Temporal Cold War was a cheap gimmick to drum up new viewers and it ended up overshadowing the main premise of the show. By the time the writing team got its shit together in Season 4 by actually focusing on the journey to the Federation being established, the show was cancelled and ended with hands down one of the worst finales in TV history.

His finger is reminding me of this scene from Scary Movie 3.

I love the forced perspective making Kevin Hart look shorter in close-ups. These movies were so great. Also, Camryn Manheim's hat getting bigger and bigger in each shot was a fantastic gag. "Send love to their bitches and hoes" is also a great line and Tom Kenny doing the alien voice is perfect.

>be me
>on my way from Starbase 39 to Earth for Raider training aboard the USS William Henry Harrison
>almost there when engineers decide to try some new modifications to the tractor beam
>turns it into a really powerful graviton emitter
>dumbass in engineering forgets to turn it off before the ship goes to warp for final leg of journey
>tractor beam gobbles a ton of chroniton particles in subspace that accumulates in the ship's warp field
>arrive at Earth but get thrown around different points in time for about a day while the crew tries to figure out what the fuck happened, how to fix it
>one of the away teams goes to Earth for intelligence, accompanied by some mouthbreathing ensign in communications
>they come back later than expected, everyone is pissed at Ensign Mouthbreather who is rushed to sick bay
>turns out Ensign Mouthbreather tried to warn people about the death of some random dude in the early 21st century which caused a new timeline that started WWIII much sooner
>Ensign Mouthbreather had to pretend to be the guy who got killed in order to fix the timeline
>pretending to be dead is still pretty hazardous
>crew figures out how to discharge all the chroniton particles and then return to our proper timeline
>only knock-on effect of it is a single panel in a shitty comic book, crew decides that's good enough, pray Temporal Investigations doesn't get involved
>Temporal Investigations gets involved anyway
>for some reason the investigators keep asking me questions like I know anything
>basically spent the whole time twiddling my thumbs because this shit ain't my bag
>tell investigators it was a pre-destination paradox just to fuck with them
>Ensign Mouthbreather is kicked out of Starfleet at warp speed
at least it only took a few extra days but man that was weird
 
Is there a post in the thread or somewhere that is a guide to Star Trek watching for first-timers? I watched TOS a few years back, might give it another go-around. Upon hearing that the time war is a major plot point in ENT, I don't really want to continue it. I've seen bits of Voyager, and bits of TNG, but I stopped with Wesley doing the simulations.

EDIT: I understand that the OP and first few pages talk about it, but maybe that's changed in the last 12 years

Watch DS9.

Note that DS9 can be... weird in the "what the hell were they thinking"-sense.

The only two episodes that made me go "WHAT THE FUCK, MAN?" were "Family Business" (specifically the part when Rom asks his mother to get naked) and "Profit and Lace" (when Quark troons out for a minute).
