    Probably my all time favorite STNG episode. I think the main reason it was shown this way, i.e. slow ship movement), was simply to gain suspense for the impending attack. Episodes have been shown, most noticably, the later DS9 episodes and later VOY episodes, where the ship's move very fast. (The Defiant and all the other ships in "First Contact" to name just one scenario. I basically blame it on suspense and not enough budget to show alot of action, but mainly just to build tension, and nothing from the above choices. Just my opinion on am awesome episode that I could watch over and over.

    The King: The original opening theme was OK and it generally suited the premise of the show. I like Russell Watson, he's a very good singer. The show could have been good. The idea had promise, but it was poorly executed.

     

     

    At first, yes, I would say, poorly executed. But it really seemed like the integrity was on the rise, especially with this last season.

     

     

     

    The King: But special effects alone cannot save a show.

     

     

    Unfortunately, this is true.

     

     

     

    The King: Like I've said before, they had very weak characters and this was the problem.

     

     

    Again, I thought the quality in character choices and their acting had gone up. At least in my opinion.

     

     

     

    The King: Because Paramount lack strong and wise leadership and their decisions regarding Star Trek have been poor since 1994.

     

     

    Also, not much of an arguement concerning Berman or Braga. Thanks for your response King.

    With all due respect to The King and others who feel the same way about ENTERPRISE, why would you want Paramount to produce another STNG time line clone, like DS9 and Voyager? It's been done. Just because ENTERPRISE had a different opening theme, and premise, didnt make it a sorry outing. The special effects were top notch, the acting was great, and for the most part, the writing kept getting better and better. I just dont see the Lemon that others see. The Trek universe is vast, and should always have room for a little change. This idea took us to the past, which is something that most of the Trek fans that I've talked to wanted to see. Season 4 in particular has been great about showing bits and pieces that relate to the other timelines.

    ...and lastly, why would Paramount bother to hire and promote Manny Coto and Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens just for a season? What a waste of their immense talents! If they just wanted to get enough episodes for syndication, surely they wouldnt have been necessary to hire and tease the rest of the ENTERPRISE fandom with their entry into the show's crew.

    Not alot of genius over at Paramount nowadays. DS9 and Voyager were nothing spectacular themselves until the last half of their 7 year runs. This doesnt make sense. So many other ideas could've been brought up to save this series. What a waste and a slap in the face to Trek fans,

    because ENTERPRISE is and was canon Trek.

     

    Feel free to respond, I respect all opinions, always.

    I honestly dont think it would've been as successful. I think roddenberry learned some things that worked and that didnt work from the pilot, and it progressed from there. The show needed swagger and Shatner provided that. Hunter was too dry. The first Doctor, too old and no personality. He was better on The Twilight Zone and others in 50's and 60's. Majel Barrett, too harsh, they werent ready for that strong of woman back then. The Cage was good, but needed tweaking.

    According to www.memory-alpha.org

     

    Galileo (NCC-1701/7)

     

    The shuttle Galileo.[edit]

    Galileo (I)

     

    This Class F shuttlecraft was assigned to the USS Enterprise in the 2260s. In 2267, the Galileo was forced to crash-land on Taurus II and was unable to regain orbit. Lieutenant Commander Montgomery Scott was able to repair the shuttle by using hand phasers as a fuel source, and the shuttle flew long enough to get the attention of the Enterprise. Its crew was recovered, but the shuttle itself was lost. (TOS: "The Galileo Seven")

     

    The Galileo was the first shuttlecraft created for Star Trek, although a shuttle from Starbase 11, in TOS: "The Menagerie, Part I," was the first televised shuttle as that episode was aired before TOS: "The Galileo Seven."

     

     

    Galileo II (NCC-1701/7)

     

    A Class F shuttle named Galileo, this time with the addition of a "II" in its name, was present aboard the Enterprise in 2269. It was stolen from the ship by Dr. Sevrin and his followers during their quest for the mythological planet of Eden. The shuttle was later recovered. (TOS: "The Way to Eden")

     

    It is unknown whether or not this was actually the third Galileo, simply renamed. At any rate, this would still be the fourth and not second Galileo aboard the Enterprise.
