Geeze, it was just a show!
TNG did suck from being PC however, however it did have its moments. It also was less chessy from a visual stand point that restricted budgets and technology caused the orginal show to suffer from. But, one wonders how captain picard went bald? Baldness is from testrone in the body, without any balls how did he suffer from hair loss?
I do belive the padding comment as the uniforms they came up with tended to make women look flat, so, make them bigger so you can tell they are women. This also would help to explain how in the future women do not have nipples.
I liked the new show "Enterprise" except for the story of the show! Geeze, what did they do re-write the "Voyager" first episode? It also suffered from the pervasive "magic" employed on all shows, but getting worse and worse as the franchised continued. On the premier episode it was "poof" transporters now work for people (gosh darn how many years did they lose before figuring that out?), and "poof" here's the phaser. They have also setup the hot babe as the magical source of knowledge. If there is any problem in a future show just say the Vulcan knew and just didn't tell anybody. (Then again, this amazing race started with Spock and very much the same thing) Then there was the whole "decon" scene. Oh, yea, that fit in. On the other hand the exotic dancers that caught butterflies with their tongues! That's something long over due here on earth!
What perhaps I disliked the most about the show was that it truly catered to trekiees. There was enough past show trivia to bury one and at the same time not enough explination as to what is going on. That is not a setup to encourage new viewers to this franchise. What the hell is "Star Fleet"? Would have been nice if that was explained. Star Fleet appears to be one space ship, yet there appears to be at least one admiral. No wonder Captain Archer wants to start his mission, he's probably way too supervised by a Fleet Admirtal that only has one ship in his fleet, that apparently was non-operational and the chief engineer keeps scrapping the paint off by bad flying. I bet that's one pissed off admiral.
On the other hand, I did very much enjoy the sets, lighting, special effects, and acting. The cast appears that it will really jell together.
Now, back to the boobs. With a 7 of 9 type as a central character it creates the age old problem of "Guest Stars shall not be prettier nor have boobs bigger than the leading character". This means that with a bodacious babe as a leading character the babe factor on the show may actually be low and relegated to the exotic dancer types that are just snippets of air time. So, while she is indeed hot, her presence may result in the show not having the full potential of babes as the first episode may have suggested.
