Riverside, Iowa

Yes, I went there. Yes, I took pictures. Yes, I am a Trek fan. Even cooler than being there – running into other fans from New York passing through, making the same impromptu unlikely pilgrimage.

Otherwise, I’m just having fun in Davenport, Iowa. Old music, easier times. Away from work. *breathe*

Star Trek: Enterprise . . . it really was cool.

I was watching ST:Enterprise last night, and got to see some of the gems of the series, Episodes 93-96. Season 4 was really good, in whole, actually.

The problem with Enterprise, is that it never found the nich that I believe would have been the best for it. What Enterpise did in seasons 1-3 was stupid. Season 1 was all about the Suliban and their time traveling crap. Season 2 was just a bunch of disconnected stories, kinda like TNG and TOS. Season 3 was the whole Xindi crap, in an effort to do the season long story arc like DS9, except it failed miserably.

Then season 4. The best of the seasons. Season 4 did what Enterprise should have done from the beginning, it examined the start of the Federation, Star Fleet, and all the cool history and backstory stuff you were expecting from episode 1 but didn’t get. Unfortunately, they got the formula right about 3 years too late.

Oh well. Its still good stuph. Now, if 2008 would only get here so we can watch some Battlestar Galactica and see some Star Trek XI….
