Musical Nomination

I dont know about anyone else, but I think Brian Tyler deserved the nod for best Musical Score in "Regeneration" more than anything, as that show stands out in my mind as the best this year in terms of music.

I'm told, sci-fi series aren't nominated beyond technical merit, usually. I have no problem with the nominations for Enterprise, I just think they're given randomly. The awarded episodes seems no better than the rest.

Better than a mediocre show deserves?

TNG and DS9 getting snubbed for 'better' Emmys for episodes like 'The Inner Light' and 'The Visitor' and performances from Patrick Stewart or Rene Auberjonois (once they took roles not associated with Trek, the nominations came flooding in) - that's unjust. I daresay even Jeri Ryan or Robert Picardo might have deserved a nod during Voyager's run. But as with the Academy award voters, Emmy pickers tend to lock in on a few high profile standouts and shower them with every nomination imaginable, even when a bit of that wealth deserves to be spread. That said, 'Enterprise' is damned lucky to have the production crew and art department it has, because unlike TOS, TNG or DS9 it deserves no nominations that -aren't- technical. Even Connor Trinneer can only do so much with a role not nearly as well written as it needs to be to get the right attention - being the best written character on Enterprise is basically akin to winning a race by default. Technical or no, 5 Emmy nods is damned good, especially when you see the effect a show's just being on UPN has (in syndication, DS9 rarely was so honored in one year for production values that were of proportional quality on top of a better written product). Emmy bias against Trek used to be unfair, but now it seems downright charitable.

Technical awards, so what

I think the first two seasons brainwashed any other thing about the episodes, music etc, same old stuff, bad scripts, Enteprise don't deserve any awards.

I hate whats happened with the fanchise, someone needs to save the fanchise, Paramount sometime will have to place blame, Rick Berman and Bragga out out!!!

Chris Carter/Joss Wheadon in in in!!
at least try to get fresh talent, a total revamp
