   I tend to agree about Phlox. He has done quite well with the character. I   
   don't really mind any of the characters on Enterprise... even like   
   Mayweather as the Checkov/Wesley stand-in. What really sucks about   
   Enterprise is that it's not *science-fiction* and not TREK. What really   
   really really sucks about Enterprise is how it rewrites so much TREK history   
   and lore (First Contact did this too). That's a pet-peeve of mine and one   
   that I just can't get over.   
      
   The Suliban aren't TREK. The Borg appearing in Enterprise isn't TREK. Xindi   
   aren't TREK. Next thing we're gonna see is Ship-to-ship communications with   
   Romulans... which would be ridiculous (will REAL ST Fans give an Amen on   
   that!). The show should be called "Voyager: Re-imagined."   
      
   What is TREK? I love the Andoria vs. Vulcan thing! That was genius! Though I   
   never heard of this conflict before it is extremely interesting. That HAS TO   
   BE expanded on in the show. Alas, it is not. I don't care about Future Guy   
   or Xindi or whatever crap B&B think is "original." Enterprise is about the   
   "ROOT" of TREK. At least it seemed to be at first.
