Star Trek Enterprise had only really hit its stride and become a solid addition to the franchise by the third season of the show. The Zindi arc was well written and packed full of action, intrigue, and a compelling seasonl long story. But it was season 4 that made Enterprise the prequel it really should have been from the beginning. At last, we got stories that tied into longtime Trek cannon. Some brilliant episodes and fantastic writing. But for most fans, the highlight of that season was the two-part mirror universe episode, In a Mirror Darkly, where we see mirror universe versions of the NX01 crew, and they encounter the USS Defiant from the original series episode, The Tholian Web. The ship was sent back in time and into the mirror universe, and we got a fun two-parter out of that show. Now, as fun as that two-parter was, it could have potentially been even better because William Shatner was originally supposed to appear in those two episodes playing Tiberius, the mirror universe version of Captain James T. Kirk.

I could never get into Enterprise. One of the local broadcast channels
in my area has star trek every night starting with the TOS through, I
think, Enterprise. The episodes are broadcast in order.
I TRIED to enjoy Enterprise. Just couldn't get into it. Acting was
fine. The cast seemed to have a good chemistry. Maybe I was treked out
at the time. Or maybe a bit of bias.
Discovery was a fucking waste. I feel bad too, because most of the
actors did a good job with what they had. Picard, I couldn't get through Season 1. It was soooooo lame. Though, I've heard the latest season was really good to those who suffered through the previous seasons.
If I could get an original VHS set of TOS it would be great. When 'they' added computer graphics to TOS for the modern era, it cheapened the show
to me. I prefer the original. I'm nostalgic for the imagination.

rCLRemasteredrCY TOS with its low end video game CGI replacement FX is a travesty. My Blu-ray set gives you the option of watching the crappy new version or the cleaned up live action with the original FX.

There's always the opposite approach, where humans are brought to Earth

Stargate history has never made much sense. Apparently the first iteration of humans came to earth from Pegasus and then were completely wiped out and then re-emerged on earth independently, which seems unlikely, and then the goauld came here in unas form and started culling slaves and spreading them across the galaxy?

Part of the reason is that there are actually two separate versions of Stargate franchise - the movie version and the TV version. Even now
there are two lots of plans for more in both versions, as well as a
third reboot plan. Hopefully they all get binned. :-\
There are similar issues with other franchises, such as Battlestar Galactica, Knight Rider, etc. thanks to the lazy idiots doing "reboots".

I find the mirror universe a great idea to give the audience a change, broaden the possibilities for the writers and for the actors to show
that they can do different than their normal role.
Very little scifi i can enjoy anymore.

enjoying?

I don't know that it ended, but the incredibly awful "Knight Rider
2010" movie was set in a dystopian Mad Max style world wherea lot of
things were gone ... including apparently the intelligence of the
people who made that utter garbage. It had *nothing* at all to do with
the TV series, so is easily ignored.

It seems we are simpatico about the lack of creativity in modern
media.
Today's mantra is, reboot something that worked in past, change the
genders and races of the heroes because no one will notice, then
complain about the lack of audience when it fails. Forgetting the notion
that the audience being targeted don't wish to be the subject of
pandering. Don't forget to kill off the heroes of the past and inject a purple haired woman to replace him.
While I did enjoy the Galactica reboot, I was only slightly irked that
they changed Starbuck's sex. I would have loved the reboot if they made it less predictable. The secret was revealed on the pilot, iirc. Haven't
seen the show in two decades, so I could be wrong.

Many of the characters (Maid

In a blaze of stupidity, which goes to show what a wretched program it was, they actually addressed that when the producers told the audience that the spines donrCOt actually glow and the other characters wouldnrCOt see it, but they just did it so the audience would know which Cylons were having
orgasms.
Of course, since everybody was a cylon, why did it possibly matter?
Except for star dough. I guess she wasnrCOt as cylon was she. But nobody wanted her to have an orgasm anyway.

The original series had Starbuck.
The reboot series had Starbuck but made him a girl. Hence Stardoe.
Spellcheck changes Stardoe into Star Dough. No matter how many times I change it back.
Oh, is there a good Battlestar Galactica newsgroup?
WouldnrCOt that require good Battlestar Galactica?

they just did it so the audience would know which Cylons were having
orgasms.
Of course, since everybody was a cylon, why did it possibly matter?

They mean "Stardoe", as opposed to Starbuck ... unless they think the
