Thanks buddy. Though for me, season four is definitely Buy-Worthy. ;-)
1. Is there any reason the 1st and 2nd Orion attack couldn't be combined into the same event, thus skipping the entire annoying kidnapping subplot? It's ridiculous and feels out of place, and although it provides an explanation for the crew's mistrust of Soong and for the Augments knowing where to find him, these things don't actually need much explaining.
Yep it could have been all cut and I did consider it. But as a Treknerd, I love the Orions, and after decades of talking/hinting about them, this is our real first look at their society, so for me it had to stay.
2. Soong's talk of his cybernetics work taking generations to complete was a little too ham-fisted, even for Enterprise. Could've done without it. We all already understood that this guy's descendant would create Data.
I whole heartedly agree. It is a very awkward scene. I have tons of problems with it. But the story needed some sort of closure and any trimming of that last scene just felt off. It would have been so much better if they had gone with their original plan and instead of Soong, gone with Colonel Green.... sigh... what might have been....
3. I think I'm the only person in the world who appreciated Enterprise's original intro sequence. I wouldn't say that I liked it, exactly, but I appreciated that they were trying to do something different and distinctive from the orchestral scores we were all accustomed to. It's one of the only things about Enterprise that even tried to be original. That said, I like Bob's reworked intro; it looks professional, as if it's supposed to be that way.
I actually don't mind the season one and two version of Faith of the Heart. But I had lots of fun making this alternate, more traditional, version.
