Kathie Huddelson has reviewed the ENTERPRISE premiere episode, "Broken Bow", for Science Fiction Weekly at the Sci-Fi Channel's web site, saying it may be the best 'Trek' yet and giving the episode an A-. Here are some excerpts:
Right from the opening credits we know this is something different. The song plays "It's been a long time, getting from here to there," as a mix of images through the ages show how far exploration has taken the human race. When the series starts, it's in black and white as a father talks to his son, Jonathan Archer, about space travel. Years later, a Klingon shows up in living color to remind us we're not in Kansas anymore. No, we're in Oklahoma, where he has crash-landed.
"Broken Bow" is a wonderful beginning for Enterprise, as it lays out the long-standing disagreement about human space exploration between the hot-headed and temperamental humans and the logical and condescending Vulcans. Like eager teen-agers, the humans have more confidence in themselves than the parental Vulcans.
Enterprise does a terrific job at bridging the gap between the present day and Kirk's universe. Bakula wears a baseball cap and has a dog, the humans are quite likely to eat a nice thick steak, and there are modern-day references thrown around to make us feel at home. And there's also plenty of Star Trek-ian elements to remind us that we're in Gene Roddenberry's universe.
However, what really makes the Enterprise universe unique is that the characters feel more human. They get nervous, they make bad judgments, they're funny, and some of the time they don't know what the heck they're doing. That's a refreshing change of pace from the jaded travelers of other Star Treks, where exploring the universe became old hat. If this Enterprise breaks down, they are all alone with little experience and no convenient Federation to save their butts. As T'Pol reminds Archer, "Space is very big."
Huddleson goes on to say it's not necessarily perfect, but is a great start for the series. To read the rest of the review, check out this page.
