Enterprise was great. Especially the last 2 seasons.

I dont understand why so many people don't like Enterprise I thought it was also great I mean it was before kirk and it was the very beginning of Earths space exploration thought that they did a great job, I wonder if it is an age thing I grew up with the original Star Trek when when STNG came out I never really liked it I did watch it seen every ep but I didn't like it that much to wimpy and Riker wow what a terrible actor and also bad character but I guess it was something like 100yrs in the future so I watched it I didn't mind Worf and Data the kind of took the Spock Idea and made it Klingon hehe

One of the complaints when Enterprise was first out, iirc, was that it broke canon and the timeline of Trek. Things like meeting species before they should have and stuff like that. I'm not a hardcore enough Star Trek guy to relay all the details but that hurt it viewer numbers amoung the hardcore fans as I understand, and I think that contributed to it not getting seven seasons like the others.

If you set that issue aside, I'm actually rewatching it as my exercise distraction show :) , I like it. It has some lame episodes for sure in the early seasons, but honestly every Star Trek show seems to suffer from that. I didn't think TNG was worth watching until about season 3. Its first season was painful to watch imo. Enterprise's first season is certainly less painful! I never really took to Bakula as Archer, but he was okay and I liked the rest of the cast. Even Phlox grew on me :)

I am still waiting for someone to make a really good show based on Starfleet Intelligence characters. It think they could do a lot of neat stuff with that.

I was hoping to see Michelle Yeoh in the intelligence part of Trek the rumors were all over the place but I doubt anything came of that.
 
Trying to figure out if the Crave app is streaming The House of Dragon in 4K.

I watched it this morning on demand from my Rogers set top box and I'm pretty sure that was only 1080p (it's listed as "HD"). I then turned to the Google TV Crave app (built into my new TV) and registered it but can't for the life of me figure out how to tell what quality stream it is from within the app.

I "think" it looks better streaming from the app, but that might be just wishful thinking. (I wasn't overly impressed with the quality of the STB stream).

This was something that frustrated me when I was trying to test 4K stuff on my new monitor. A lot of services just seem to say verbage like "4K on available devices" or "when/where available" or some such vagueness. It'd be really nice to be able to select it like you can on YouTube, or at least have an info button or something that shows you what is currently being streamed to your device.
 
I also signed up for my 6 free months of Disney+ yesterday. Pleasantly surprised at how much relatively high quality content there is. (Of course... I wasted my first viewing session catching up on the original season of Futurama.... :) ).

I don't think any HBO content airs @ 4K.

They basically had no idea what they were doing, tried to make it Melrose Place in Space with an actress that couldn't act her way out of a paper bag (a scene with bio disinfectant gel comes to mind among many others), then at the very end realized oh fudge we're hemorrhaging ratings, let's try to do a DS9 style war arc (Xindi goodness), but didn't quite pull it off.

It was such a waste for the exact reason they had so much material and some fine actors. I mean T'Pol was irredeemable, but as bad as Merryweather was he got a lot better, Phlox, Malcolm, and Yoshi were wonderful. Bakula hammed it up but he mostly was okay, and the greatest shame was they kept trying to make Connor Trinnear a freaking country bumpkin aw shucks guy when the man was money. The usual suspects of guest actors of course was also good...Shran haha.

Bannon Braga et al. just wasted so much. It was like watching the Oilers with ChiaPet, then with McDavid under Holland. It's passable, but you can be so much more.
