36. "RE: GA: Enterprise"

I was inspired to watch the series for the first time by this post (having never watched more than TNG and the first few episodes of DS9 for various reasons, before). I'm enjoying it immensely, but I'm a little amused/disappointed by the fact that they seem to be very specifically revisiting certain ubiquitous plots in the space opera genre. There's a 'Magnificant Seven' plot, and in the case of 'Dawn' in season two, there's a depressingly obvious 'Enemy Mine' subtext.

In short, I feel like Enterprise really wants to be a great semi-hard-SF show, but its plots are simply recapitulating well-known ideas.

(It does so enjoyably! I'm just trying to say it's not <i>new</i>.)
