We continue to be unimpressed with #StarTrek #Enterprise's *writing*.

I've loved the set design from the beginning. The delicate balance between having to look like a pre-cursor to a #tv show from the 60s while not looking cheesy can't have been easy. They not only did it, they make #design references to #STTOS sets. (I can't say enough about this. I made us pause and appreciate Kirk's quarters' desk vs Archer's.)

I complained previously about T'Pol's wooden acting. She seems to be growing into it. Now she makes little glances and eyebrow movements rather than stiffly staring.

The other characters are mostly ciphers ("secretly likes pineapple" is not a personality).

Archer is tortured by...nothing as far as I can tell.

Tucker could be neat if his accent and character didn't reinforce the "Star Trek for rednecks" vibe that the atrocious theme song creates.

I wondered if #TheDoomsdayMachine ever thought some planets tasted better than others? #StarTrek #STTOS #StonedThoughts

Trekking to the fridge

In light of the recent announcement of boxed sets of the original Star Trek (Region 2, but Region 1 sets are on their way next year), I found myself thinking of some of the fizzier nicknames for the shows.

Since Next Gen came out just a few years after the New Coke fiasco, the names Classic Trek and New Trek stuck. Early in DS9’s life I remember hearing someone refer to Diet Cherry Trek. Which leads to an obvious question:

What types of soft drink are Voyager and Enterprise?

Does anyone else feel this way? For all its emphasis on diversity, #StarTrek #STTOS seemed remarkably racist when it came to #Spock, with disparaging remarks about his pointed ears, green blood, etc. Nobody would've made remarks about Uhura's or Sulu's physical features, but somewhere it was okay to do it to Spock.

So glad #GreatestTrek has back to where it all started: #sttos #TOS!

I think my answer depends almost completely on whether or not that loud dramatic #STTOS fight music is playing loudly during the fight or not:

Can you update the poll to clarify this point?

Also, the conceit of the mirror universe is that it's *so* close to our own that the multiverse walls break down & the only real difference is more aggressive ppl are submissive & vice-versa.

So, I'm with @falken that this is mirror universe.
