Is Star Trek Week over? I don’t remember when it started...

No. That makes no sense and is dumb. Ergo: no.

(I also found it unecessary when the same thing happened on DS9, but at least the new visuals represented the in-universe development of

So thanks io9 folks—particularly Katharine for not only leading the charge, but also

Even at its very best, Enterprise was mediocre television, but I love it anyway. The “gee-whiz” enthusiasm of the first two seasons evokes an essential element of Trek that VOY and DS9 never consistently did. And in spite of the fact that most of the main characters are horribly underdeveloped, collectively they’re
