Calm down. I never said it was better that way, nor did I say it was to be expected based on "Trek precedent - I said it was to be expected from an American-produced TV show in general, and I said it without a positive value judgement.GrahamKennedy wrote:Oh, really? TOS wasn't America-centric at all. In fact I wouldn't call TNG, DS9 or VOY that either. Why do we suddenly expect ENT to be so?Mikey wrote:"meh" for me. I had no issue with the theme of the intro being different from typical 'Trek - I just thought the song was lousy on its own merits. Yes, the images were very "America-centric," but it's to be expected from an American-produced show.
I could very easily say that Fawlty Towers or 'Allo, 'Allo (even though it was based in France) are very Anglo-centric shows. But why would I bother? Of course they are! If your point is that there is a significant let-down in certain qualities from past 'Trek to ENT, then you'll certainly get no argument from me.
