Correction: one of the best ideas for a two-parter ever. But the execution was one big ol' cheese & ham sandwich.

Brennan and Berman should be shot before they have anything to do with a Star Trek Franchise ever again.  The reason that last season was better than the prior seasons is because they were forced to step away from the show.  It should have been such a better show, with the crew going off and having first contact with the romulans and all that.  Instead those fuckers decided to break with canon and get the borg involved, or right stories about that stupid time war.

That series had such potential, such horrible writing and story ideas.  BSG is pretty much everything that show should have been.  Master and Commander in space.

I blame Scott Bakula.

Actually, I usually blame Scott Bakula. Bastard.

Berman was the problem with Voyager and Enterprise. I actually often step up and defend Braga because he's actually a really good writer who just should have never been put in the position of head of a show. As evidence:

Ode to Spot

Felis Cattus, is your taxonomic nomenclature,
an endothermic quadruped carnivorous by nature?
Your visual, olfactory and auditory senses
contribute to your hunting skills, and natural defenses.

I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
a singular development of cat communications
that obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
for a rhythmic stroking of your fur, to demonstrate affection.

A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;
you would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aide in locomotion,
it often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

O Spot, the complex levels of behaviour you display
connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

Hmm - Two actors, both stars of Quantum Leap . . . Enterprise has Scott Bakula being generally pretty crap . . . while B.S.G. has Dean Stockwell being five-star awesome . . .

By god, I think you're onto something!!

Gutter Monkey:
Meh, I always thought BSG is what Voyager should have been. They both have a very similar premise: a stranded crew trying to get home. If Voyager had featured a larger cast of supporting characters, and had focused on character instead of technobable, it could have been great. They could have even had a fleet, with fleet politics, as Voyager runs across other ships from the Alpha and Beta Quads that had been stranded by the Caretaker, and they form a little convoy heading back into charted space. They could have had the long, interesting story arcs of DS9, only now the main characters get to move around more. Basically, more DS9 would have been better.

Enterprise...well, Enterprise shouldn't have been, period.
