Enterprise goes to Risa.

Reed and Tucker act like slimeballs and experiment with homoerotic bondage.
Hoshi will sleep with you on a first date.
Mayweather breaks a leg and in the most appropriate line ever spoken Phlox asks, "Ensign who?"
Archer meets an alien spy, gets knocked unconscious by a scratch (I'm not kidding), and doesn't really seem to care.

An hour of screen time that was boring and pointless. Words cannot describe how mind numbing this was.

One of the few episodes I watched. Probably why I didn't watch much of Ent.

And I was worried you wouldn't like the fact I didn't get into Ent.

I can't blame anyone for not watching Ent. It wasn't just bad Trek, it was flat out bad TV.

At least it established that Hoshi was easy.

which was very good news :Drool1:
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Show "Darmok" and "Bride of Chaotica" back to back for the ultimate WTF? expression on your guest's face...

Seriously, learn an alien language she doesn't know and start speaking it to her and BAM, you're in.

But really though, that episode was just awful from any standpoint. Bad Trek and bad TV. Dear Doctor was horrific but I wasn't ready to fall asleep half way through.

Good point. Like most here, I'm collecting all the series seasons, and I've got to say, I never even OPENED Enterprise Season 1

After watching it again on SciFi, I can't imagine why you would.

I own the Indian Jones trilogy, the original one, and I've never taken the wrapping off Temple of Doom.

Yeah, I bought the Triology purely because Raiders wasn't available on its own.

The 3rd one was ok, but it was a bit too self mocking.

What about the forth one with the supernova proof fridge!!! If Romulus had hidden in a lead fridge, we'd NEVER have needed the reboot :)

Rock "Threshold" that way, when the person doesn't like it, you can say "Hey, it only gets better!"
Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away, don't you hear me calling you?
