Tholians, buttons and bellies - oh my!
5.11.2005 9:35 PM \| Link	The latest two-part episode of Enterprise, In a Mirror, Darkly, was simply bizarre and amazing on so many levels. (Yep, this was broadcast a few weeks ago, but I'm behind on TiVo!) I guess they just wanted to go crazy since they've been cancelled, and taking a new spin on the classic Mirror, Mirror from the old show probably seemed like a dream come true to the writers. I had a ton of fun watching the show, but there were definitely some bad decisions made. Even though it was awesome seeing exact duplicates of the old show sets (since they were on the USS Defiant, they even created the same hallways and the captain's quarters), it was just a little silly seeing them go from the "past", with realistic looking devices, to the "future", with flashing lights and unlabeled control panels! The story was worth it, though, just to see Hoshi and T'Pol with their incredible bare bellies exposed - Hoshi was especially amazing as the captain's cortesan! Yowza! I thought the temporary "empire" intro was a nice touch (much better than the usual crappy theme song), and seeing the Tholians make their web with modern special effects was nice, but why, oh why did they have to bring back the Gorn? I guess he looked OK in CG, but that definitely seemed like a goofy stretch to me! Labels: life, star trek
