Tachyon

I'm starting to like the hiatus idea as well. I think that they should put off making a movie, but if they decide to do a DS9 one then they should do it within the next five years. Otherwise, I'd love to see an Enterprise movie in another few years. I was hoping that if Enterprise got cancelled then Star Trek would plan for a new series but still take a hiatus for at least a year. Now that Enterprise is renewed, something I'm happy about, we don't need a movie anytime soon.

I've seen the arguments for and against. I didn't like season three all that much, because it felt out of place. I followed the first two seasons, and saw Enterprise moseying along through the galaxy. That was great, I loved it. Then--BAM! We're suddenly knee-deep in vengeance and crazy Vulcans. It was sort of unexpected, we weren't prepared for it, and it caught us off guard. Was that a good thing? Sometimes it is. But a radical departure from the format of a show is just that--radical. Enterprise does have a storyline, all of this Temporal Cold War stuff that we've glimpsed at. So it's got two choices: become DS9, or become Voyager. Both had storylines. DS9's was more prominent, especially towards the last season. I have no problem with DS9, but it's tough to watch just any episode. Voyager, on the other hand, had a more casual storyline: get home. It was more comfortable, and that's why I prefer Voyager's storyline to DS9's. I just thought that they overdid it on the whole Xindi-revenge thing. But I don't hate them for it. I haven't seen Zero Hour yet (I missed it!) but I'll catch it on Sunday. And then we'll see. I'm all for a fourth season, I'm ready to give Enterprise another chance. But they really need to focus, because Paramount has put the Fear of God voice into Star Trek. They gave Star Trek: Enterprise the Death Slot.

I'm a new member, Saek, but I fully intend to participate in your 5 PM sims, being an easterner and all. School letting out is a big help, because of course that means no more late night studies interfering. More long-term however: school will eventually reconvene. And then . . . .

I'm up for it. Tuesday night Academies are the only ones at reasonable hours for my time zone, but Tuesday night is Dark Angel night. So I have to either find my remote and program a VCR (the horrors) or log on at midnight on Saturdays to get blown up by other cadets like me. I understand right now the GMs don't have the time to start up a Friday night Academy. But maybe somebody else will think of doing a later unofficial one like the ones at five.

Oh yeah. Well then, Tuesday I guess. That's okay because Tuesday's time is better anyway.

Thanks for the recommendation about branching out. I fully intend to, as I enjoy this RP enough that I find I like the other positions. So I hope to see all of you around.

Thanks for the tips. I've already read Moose's Tips and found them greatly helpful. And I played an informal sim late tonight. I'll be sure to look out for those 5 PM ones, and I'm probably going to start attending the Academy tomorrow. If not, ASAP.

Thanks, that does help.
