Quote:Originally posted by gruesome: Ack... Funny how subjective things are... Thats EXACTLY the sort of tripe that I felt killed NextGen. Typical week for my wife and I after the 5th season or so of NextGen: "Oh, look honey, its a "troy" episode." "I see... Ummm... Wanna watch cspan?" "Sure." Why not just put some lawyers on the enterprise while you are at it. Throw in a little crime and just turn it into EVERY OTHER SHOW ON TV!! Character episodes? Bleh... Anomoly! Anomoly! Anomoly! Anomoly! Anomoly! YEAH!!!

Quote:Originally posted by Micronaut: Let me clarify the "character issues" bit... character issues like "Jayne gets greedy and betrays Simon and River" or "Mal defends Inara's honor and ends up in a swordfight" or perhaps "Jayne finds he is the unlikely hero of a work town" or even "Inara convinces the crew to help an old friend, then has problems dealing with Mal's attraction to her...". Those issues Trek needs... not "Malcom tunes the phaser cannons" or "Trip screws up the engines" or "Archer goes nuts" type issues... those are plot device shows, not "character issue" shows... big difference.

Ohhhhh! Ok, you meant character issues with people like Tim Minnear and Joss Whedon writing them... Ok, sure! I am all for THAT!

Quote:Originally posted by outlander: I've always felt that the problem with Enterprise, Voyager and DS9 is that the writers come up with a potentially interesting concept for a series, but they never seem to follow through with the quality writing to make the concept work. To me this is the big difference between the writers on Star Trek and Joss Whedon and his team of writers. Joss Whedon comes up with and interesting concept (Buffy, Angel & Firefly), and he and his team of writers make it work incredibly well.

But....didn't the captain on Enterprise have a beagle - Porthos, or somesuch - and didn't Firefly talk about smuggling some black market beagles?? Now that's some kind of funny! **** I know your name, jackass.
