There's a bad T'pol joke in there

@@Josep_Hernandez_Lujan T'pol on T'pole ? 😜

Anyone else read that in Tucker's accent?

Llll

@@JosephDickson Obviously yes.

We don't count These Are The Voyages as an Enterprise episode. It's a TNG episode.

@@Doctors_TARDIS exactly!!

It also shows how the Vulcans did not trust the Humans with their best technologies because of their illogical hostilities with their Andoran neighbors and borderline explosive relationship with the Tellarites. I actually find it kinda' stupid that the Andorans and Tellarites did not form an alliance before the Humans discovered warp speed. The communication speed and time needed were already there. By that time, humans only needed to agree to start contact with them... but the Trekverse needed humans to become the dominant force in the Federation despite having 4 founding species members with Humans being the newest warp-capable species.

It relied too heavily on time travel, tried to sell too much sexuality. They also downgraded the tech they should have already had, like rubbing that stuff on them after every mission. They did a good job at making a scifi show with a star trek skin. I guess making a prequel will always have its problems, one reason they should stop making them, they all suck imo

@@jamesmeppler6375 All remakes suck? James Bond?

yeah indeed! People complained and I always thought "well...of course lets not forget its fucking hard!" like seriously how do you in the early 00's look futuristic but stay BELOW the future of the show but a future that was an IDEA of the future back then...lol

@@bsgtrekfan88 I'm not particularly a fan of Discovery for a multitude of reasons but I think they did a piss poor job with that ship. However I did like Discovery's take on the constitution class. Like a modernised version of the 60's aesthetic. EDIT: For clarity, the interior of Discovery is visually great as is most of the show, just doesn't fit with the era its meant to take place in the way they managed with Enterprise. Discovery's Constitution class was a good middle ground if they HAD to put the show where they did in the timeline.

@@fromthedumpstertothegrave3689 Exactly! I really REALLY appreciate and respect what they did to the overall design of the Enterprise in Discovery - and there uniforms. Its really hard to pull off "Future look from the past that cant look too old but also too new" bull -

@@bsgtrekfan88 Personally, I think Axanar did it brilliantly.

Yep I agree. The ship brought over the feeling of being a new thing, one of the first deep space vessels. Something we could build ourselves with current technology.

mine too

Same

I really want to like it I really do

@@patoren3gou653 it's ok, just a show don't pull your leg if you dont really like it

I love Enterprise. Close second to Ds9 for me. I love series long story arcs.

T'Pol on the pole, there's a show I would watch

@@derianvandalsen Indeed!

A fireman's pole? Fuck yeah!

@@joeywall4657 I envision an Orion slave girl episode in which T'Pol teaches the syndicate a trick or two during her Pon farr

Especially if they had T'pol and Hoshi on the pole.

Why have an ejection system at all? Just shove it out the back door!

@@joshmayne2853 They probably just had a big button marked "Eject Warp Core" that actually was another GNDN. That's why it was always off line.

That was actually not a thing until Insurection and Voyager.

No. Someone bypassed the authorization code, and locked him out. And transporters are down.

Mee to!

The ships getting cooler but the shows are plots where everyone is just starring at their belly buttons & pondering their navel buttons existence....BORING!

They really did the Andorians justice. :)

Imagine the camera shot from the base of the pole looking upwards. It would have never been allowed on TOS with all those miniskirts...shame.

I'm fairly sure T'Pol slid down AN 'Engneers pole' ... ...

@@berthulf Yea, but she Tripp'd when she got to the base of it.

as a former propulsion worker in a Nimitz class aircraft carrier engine room, I can tell you without any hesitation, you do not ever, ever put the engine room right below the bridge. That is almost as stupid as putting ammunition below the bridge.

They really could have used the pole in the decontamination room; you know, just to kill time. They could have given it a spin.

I had a huge crush on her

Massive crush on Hoshi. And Travis too, actually. But mostly Hoshi.

Yeah Hoshi just seemed more exotic than T'Pol for me. Since Linda Park is Japanese and I've always had a soft spot for Japanese ladies 💖

@@seajaye9540 Hoshi is Japanese, but Linda Park is Korean-American.

She was a pretty fair communications officer, but a truly monumental Empress of Humanity. All hail Her Supreme Magnificence!

Clearly they made this video just for you, Mr. K

I rewatched it and still not a fan. Like the ship though...

I’m watching ds9 for the first time after avoiding in for 20 years

Me too, having avoided it for a while but new year and all

@@sinicalypse And I appreciate it very much. :)

i stopped watching discovery after season 2... how it’s been doing after? anything good?

I’m with you there. I love the uniform because it feels like the logical next step from the flight suits used by NASA. I also loved how they showed actual crew loading actual torpedoes. Like , we’re not just pushing buttons and going “pew pew” here, there’s an actual greasy grimy crew at work inside this ship. I loved that, wanted more of it.

Big agree. This is one of the main reasons why I enjoy the series so much. It feels just close enough to what we do today

The actual ship design of Discovery was based on a model for Star Trek Phase 2 from the 70s, but, yeah, the spore drive was a little much. As for season 3, I think the show has had a consistent issue with the first few episodes of each season being great and then they kinda lose the pace and do a lot of nothing for half the season. On average, I think season 3 may be better than 2, but they both had great starts and then just go on stretching a secondary plot line for half the season and get nowhere with the main story until the last episode (happened with the search for Spock in season 2 and more unnecessary mirror universe stuff in season 3)

@@fisk0 I don't have a problem with the ship design externally, more the technology it has. They start out using holographic communication. Then they back peddle explaining that Pike prefers screens. So everyone from Kirk to Janeway just prefered screens?

It makes total sense; the idea was that the NX was just a step-and-a-half beyond being an engineering prototype ... so of course they'd be thinking "... but what if we need to make a substantial upgrade, and some significant parts just aren't compatible? We need to be able to have whole-sale swap-outs be feasible!" Tah-dah! There we have it!

all will be revealed!

Same.

D'jango is coming to kick your ass!

This. I wish they had stayed with the early "working out the bugs" narrative instead of zooming ahead into the Xindi arc. It was great seeing the origins of the Red Alert, food replicator quirks, transporter distrust, etc. Lore building at its best. But, apparently that was "too slow and boring" for most folks.

I think the idea of a first season set on Earth, putting together the crew and working out the bugs would have been great.

Hehehehe ride the pole, ride her.

@@sid2112 damn right it is! *slides down pole* **snap** it don't work...

I'm surprised he never got a cameo appearance

I think you mean "Ray Stanz"

You mean T'Pole?

@@biff322 I meant the ship itself and all it’s well thought features.

I'm not partial to ships with open areas in them.

I'll ask him about his B9.

I do like the show's version of the NX-01. Doug says it's like the 'ironclads' of the Civil war and I always felt it was more like the first submarines of the 40's vs the new modern subs. The hallways had their support struts visible, where the original Enterprise 1701 looked sleeker, more civilized on the inside, with fewer structural interruptions in the walls and such. The NX didn't have space for all the nice touches, conveniences or aesthetics. And the design did look rushed, as if the engineers hurried that 'First Warp 5 capable' engine and stuffed it into a hull as quickly as they could. Hell, they were still experimenting with transporter technology. They didn't have shields or tractor beams... That would have to be a scarier version of Trek because that ship felt so vulnerable compared to the Constellation class.

@@dog3y3 I wish they had spent more time in that "working out the kinks" phase instead of rushing off to war and time travel. It felt more authentic and historically accurate (as much as fictional history can be).

Kinda like how it had to feel those last 3 episodes of Enterprise, Two Mirror Universe episodes and one we don't talk about if we like the show...

True, but it was smaller, and I mean 01 has The Pole 🤷‍♀️

The NX didn't have a lot t of luxury or open space. That definitely felt correct given the era

@@sageoz9886 So, Skeeball?

Yes, this was how it was intended to be revealed since episode one.

Don't forget the twinkie

And La Sirena from the Picard series.

Ah, yes... The USS Doritos...

I grew up with War of the Worlds, the audio version in the 70s, so I remember Thunderchild.

I agree with this! It's so frustrating that they only had 4 seasons..I personally like ST Enterprise more than DS9

@@LostSoulOfMars I do as well in fact I prefer it to Voyager and TNG as well.

Sexiest woman in trek, and thats saying a lot. Also the least important thing she brought to Enterprise.

@@JB-ym4up agreed. She and Scott got me in as a reoccurring background Character for all 4 seasons.

You know Jolene Blalock, personally ?!?!

I've been watching SG-1 and she plays a minor character in a semi-recurring roll. She brings her fierceness to that character as well. Her hair is much more out of control too. What's funny is that I believe there are several actors/actresses that were also Star Trek extras who share screen time with her on SG-1 and I believe there are a few little side jokes that no one would catch if they' weren't avid Enterprise fans.

@@dog3y3 She plays the leader of the Amazonian like Hafta group, and another Teal'c groupie.

In a similar-ish vein I've just discovered I can set my Amazon Echo to respond to the word 'Computer' rather than 'Alexa'. Have been delighting in walking into the room and saying "Computer! lights on!" or "Computer! play jazz!"

Pretty much like the idea that the Enterprise refit was referred to in the FASA RPG as the Enterprise Class.

I imagine a storyline wherein the crew had to eject Engineering and the ship had to be towed back to the ship yard for a new one only to be surprised that they're not just getting a new Engineering section but a whole new half of the ship.

He stays fit, I'll give him that!

Though what?

So true!

They're popping Champagne now

They look more practical, for lack of a better term.
