Enterprise and Three Parters

[lionel_pendergast_rocks]

Lately, Star Trek Enterprise has been airing three part episodes. does anyone know if theyll be doing this for the rest of the season? If they do, that only really gives us six distinct storylines. any info? thoughts? (personnally, i dont like the three-part deal. )

I hear there's gonna be like 2 stand-alone eps between a few 3-ep arcs.

After the Vulcan arc, there are 2 standalone stories, one dealing with the creator of the Transporter, and another dealing with aliens that take over people's bodies (hopefully, it won't feel TOO familiar...), and then another 3-part arc, and then a standalone Klingon episode.

So we've got at least 3 standalones on the way, as well as one more multi-parter.

I like this new format, although I would have liked a break between the Augment and the Vulcan Arc. Like maybe sticking the Transporter episode on before "The Forge." But that's just me...

Better than the crap they gave us the last three years.

Nah, I think they'll eventually go back to regular episodes after this Vulcan one ends. Personally, I think Enterprise went from an okay show to a crap-ass show to a great show! I totally love it now. The Space Nazis, Dr. Soong, and Vulcan episodes have been excellent. I can't wait till Fridays will include new SG-1 and SG-A epis too!

Hey, did humans create the transporters?

Hey, did humans create the transporters?

Yes.

Also, the episode that starts the Klingon arc is called 'Affliction'.

[shockwave]

there will also be a colonel green arc

[Janus]

there will also be a colonel green arc

Wasn't he part of Word War III in the ST-Universe ?

[DownFallAngel]

I think so. All we know right now is that Manny Coto wants him in and he is writing him in.

[emily_reich]

so this season we have arcs for:
augments
vulcans
andorians
klingons
colonel green

that's only 15 epsiodes...

we also know they started the season with a two parter
then we had a stand-alone
we're having two stand-alone's after this arc

so that's a total of: 20 episodes...

that leaves two episodes left, so my guess is it'll be two stand-alones (one prob'ly being the season finale)... so all-in-all, 15 out of 22 eps are arc-related... well, 17 if ya count the first two-parter as the END of last-season's arc...

but since they said going in that this was what they were gonna do, i personally don't mind... it's better than a whole ton of TWO-parters, and stand-alones just don't allow stories to get fleshed-out as well...

so personally i like this format... it fits for this season for them to do it this way... just like last season the xindi arc worked...

[DownFallAngel]

I don't like this format, because Manny Coto destroyed the Temporal Cold War arc, which he could have done a better job on. But other than that, I've seen to like this seaosn, but not as much as last.

[Slainte]

Aren't there only going to be 20 episodes this season? I thought I read that somewhere.

I like the three parters. They give more of an opportunity for indepth stories and character development to happen than with just stand alone episodes. Take DS9 and VOY for example. DS9 was basically one huge story arc. As a result of that it had IMO the most well developed star trek characters ever. VOY on the other hand did all stand alone episodes, with a few two parters spread out. Looking at the series as a whole, I can't say that Harry Kim or Chakotay did a whole lot of developing. They did some, but nowhere near the amount even the secondary characters did on DS9.
