Rate ST:Ent Kir'shara Arc

[spshu]

One other thing that goes unmentioned most of the time, Enterprise is usually repeated at least once in most markets, in Pittesburg its on again at 6 on Staturday evenings. So many simply watch it at a more convinent time or tape the sucker. Not to mention that most shows on Friday work with a vcurve anyways considering the time and date. Therefore a simple glance at ratings is not I believe a realistic factor to determine if a show, especially Enterprise lives or dies. If I had to guess I would say Enterprise reaches double the audience of what the ratings say when you add in repeats, VCR's and etc...

It is repeated on Sunday at the Detroit UPN station. I watch and tape it.

Having had been a Nielsen rating household via diary, they do have you indicate what shows you tape. But of course I have no idea how they include that data.

Are you being facetious Ezri or is there truly such a show?

JMS says so.

Nifty! Now that is a show I would watch just to see what he developed. I was never a big fan of Dark Skies but I followed the original B5 dilligently and don't mind Jeremiah.

Thanks for providing the link.

Gave the arc a solid 9. Must have to do with the sum greater than the parts or something .

I really liked the arc. If possible, I thought it was a bit too concensual, giving the fans exactly what they wanted (explaining those strange Vulcan behaviours we've seen, inching towards the Federation and the Romulan wars, ...). Still, it was really nicely done, so thumbs up for this.

Actually, the only thing that could have been nicer would have been if they had scattered the episodes among a few others. If roleplaying has taught me anything, it's that it takes time to build such a story, and 3 episodes, while being a nice number, may be a bit short. Look at DS9 for instance, when the Dominion was holding the station. The arc lasted a real long time, but there were a few episodes inbetween that did not focus on the Dominion occupation. This gives the user time to get used to the ideas the episodes brought, to make them his. In the end, it gives the resolution of the arc all the more significance.
In the Kir'shara arc's case, this would have given us time to learn to know (and hate ) the Administrator, see Soval change and learn to cooperate with humans, and so on. Don't you hate it when you feel villains like the Administrator should have been given more time to devellop? Granted, he's not dead, and we probably haven't seen the end of him yet, but still ...
Really, one "relief" episode between part I and part II/III would have been nice for instance.

Still, I'm happy they brought Coto aboard .

Well some could say that the whole Augments arc was a break from this one as "Home" was more or less apart of this arc with T'Pol's wedding and introduction of her mother being an important part of it.

[Capt. K. Vaughn]

Well we are sure to see the former Administrator again and perhaps they will return to explore the aftermath of these events more. I may even get to see a competent Romulan nemesis that is actually fully of the blood after how many years since "Balance of Terror" or "The Enterprise Incident"?

Awesome story ark!

Vulcan city architecture looked a little Coruscantish

[REG]

I give it an 8. The story is pretty good, like finding the Vulcan equivalent of the Ark of the Covenant. But I wish they put more scene or material regarding Surak's philosophy and how the contemporary Vulcans have gotten off the beaten path. Hopefully, we will get into it more since this is setting the stage for the Romulans.

Of course, that final scene would have been better if they kept the face hidden but only bring the iconic Romulan uniform into the light.

[Silverstreak]

I give it a 1, I hated it, it totally destroyed what I had envisioned for the vulcans. The people who are in charge of this show should take some pointers from those who were responsible for the LUG material.
