They kept insisting it was a “continuation."
It was transparently a reboot the second Bakula said no thanks. Well, he's there in spirit!
I’ve always thought of him as one of the all-time crybaby pussies, and the comparison to Eric Saward lives rent free in my head. Jockeying for jobs they were not qualified for, then fumbling the bag and blaming the network for tying their shoes together?
They rise to the top during a creative crisis which in practice means undermining anyone who might expose them. Berman was the same, you’d think he and Gene were like Lennon and McCartney! Nobody buys it. Yet he keeps repeating it.

I remember being disgusted when I first learned about that back in the day. Little did I know how degenerate society would become. A giantess fetish is positively wholesome compared to what's going on these days.

I should add that I am going to hunt down those Blu-ray interviews, even if I have to pirate them like a Ferengi, because I’m curious about what the cast says now. It was always funny to me how little Scott and John had to say about the episodes people actually like. Why defend the reviled episodes?
I’ll listen to Braga and nod politely but if the thesis is once again “we were tragically misunderstood storytellers".... You rolled out a convoluted time travel conspiracy in episode 1.

It's not just ENT. To me it feels like CBS/Paramount took over the wikis when I saw that Memory Alpha decided that the Kurtzman era would be added to the classic era.
I bet it's like Wookiepedia where only a selected few from Disney are allowed to create and maintain the entries (most of them are pretty much empty).

Some sicko uploaded the Enterprise reunion to YouTube and it’s been sitting there untouched by the Paramount Pinkertons, so of course I poured a drink and watched the whole thing. Anyone else seen it? Please correct me anytime I’m wrong.
First thing: Braga implies it took hardball negotiation to get Jolene Blalock to show up at all.
Jolene might as well have Facetimed in. She barely speaks, looks like she regrets ever acting, and when the Trip/T’Pol relationship comes up she meekly admits she objected to it.
John Billingsley, sensing the discomfort, starts firing off dad jokes. At one point he assures Braga he’s "not [trying] to ass-kiss,” which is the exact phrase that exits my mouth whenever I am absolutely ass-kissing at work.
Braga does the group therapy thing, Okay guys, safe space, nothing's off-limits.
And then Jolene immediately asks, “Do you LIKE Rick Berman?”
Right for the jugular!
Braga keens that Berman is like "a father" to him... Five seconds later he adds, "...But not really." More like an equal "partner."
Except two seconds after that, he’s like, Actually we were not partners at all. Berman ghosted him after the show got canceled. This is the only time I ever felt compassion for Braga.
Later: Billingsley asks Braga which storyline he is "most unhappy" with.
Jolene without blinking: "The finale." Kill shot! I did not expect Jolene to be this shady.
Braga spends the entire reunion rolling his eyes toward the heavens and blaming external factors. At one point he huffs, “Gunsmoke got canceled!” like that ends the discussion. Entropy goes brrr.
Keating and Montgomery are seated next to each other and clearly feeding off that “We were the Harry and Neelix and we know it" vibe. Linda Park: This was just a line on the résumé.
Billingsley dutifully backs Braga. But when Braga calls “Dear Doctor” one of his favorite episodes, Billingsley immediately blurts out, “Oh, really??” a half-second too quickly.
Jeff Combs shows up late. It’s like that Five(ish) Doctors joke where Paul McGann can't attend because he's in so much demand. Connor Trinneer conspicuously gives up his chair. Just a Trip-shaped hole in the stage.
Combs leans into the "pink skins” meme. He's worked on 800 bad sets and glazes Bakula for being a pro.
Bakula is the most interesting. He’s candid in a way that feels slightly dangerous. He brushes off praise in a Harrison Ford It's a job register.
When they mention he never directed an episode, he gives some vague answers, and Braga interjects that he’d be on camera 90% of the time while directing. Bakula instantly shoots back, “I’ve done that,” referencing Quantum Leap.
Braga reframes it as You’d be stuck in a trailer, away from your family, and Bakula just keeps repeating, “I’ve DONE that.” Translation: Do not speak for me.
He also makes it clear he didn’t sign up to do reheated TNG scripts. Season one was his least favorite. He only really perks up when talking about season two getting “grittier” and more human.
He tells a story about getting into it with "producers" (almost certainly Berman) who told him "Captains don’t bleed.” So of course Bakula would welcome anything that lets him out of the box.

It started life as one of those pitches he was shopping around: U.S., China, and Iran, all zapping each other back in time, which is where the “Cold War” comes from. Braga has always talked about the evil suits forcing it into Enterprise S1, but it was his baby to begin with.

Braga likes doing timetravel bullshit. Him telling you "ackshually, it was studio meddling" is him covering his ass in a hilariously bad way.

It could’ve been either one of them. Berman took credit for all the time travel and Nazis on Voyager because, what do you know, that's what he likes.
Braga seemed to suggest he expected more freedom on Enterprise and Berman not-so-kindly put Braga in his place.

Tilly so fat Captain Sulu catalogues her gaseous anomalies. In other news, I have declared a jihad on all theater kids. Inshallah, we shall throw them into the sea.

I used to hate Berman too until I saw what Trek without him was like.
He was an unheralded tard-wrangler. David Gerrold says that Berman was the one keeping fags off the bridge and for that alone I'm quite grateful.

>Tilly referencing Sisko's favorite drink
What a joke that Tilly gets assigned to the Beta Quadrant. The writers are like, We need her somewhere… just not someplace important.

Hey, Leftenant Fatass, yes, I got an issue with your nonsense. It's not the task of a Starfleet officer to be a politically scheming little cunt that manipulates and lies to the public. We have elections to determine who gets to be a lying, cheating, little cunt that subverts society to become a post-modernist libtard hellhole.

Wasn't Tilly an engineer, "I fucking love science" type of character on Discovery? So why the fuck is she teaching theatre? That whole scene screams of retarded theatre kids with no experience of anything writing the show.

Engineering is too complicated for those retards. So, they do what they know (which is badly hamfisted current year+11 political bullshit). Surprise, surprise, it will be done by Lieutenant Hamfist.
