Karl Marx led the start of The Terran Empire
I just saw Star Trek Enterprise Season 4 Episode 18: 'In A Mirror Darkly' and I noticed that someone that looks vaguely like Karl Marx leads the mob to raid the Vulcan ship.
Also on another note .... what the hell kind of fever dream did the writers drift into with this side story that lasted a few episodes? They just come out of left field for no apparent reason.
The mirror universe is a fever dream. A sexy sexy fever dream.
The mirror universe is a fever dream some consider to be... unnatural.
We'd all be looking more fondly on Enterprise if they had simply ended the series with this 2 parter.
They did end it there. Nothing else is after that. All crew members lived to be 140.
What about Demons and Terra Prime? Those were perfect endings to the series.
A solid unofficial 2 parter with racist Robocop. It's just the whole sad part with Trip and T'Pol's kid that gets me every time.
I just watched the last episode, which I can now say I've finished Enterprise ... why the hell did they have twist the knife into your gut at the very end with Trip? .... and also .... what the hell was that last episode? It's like they ran out of ideas, saw that the show wasn't renewed and everyone just ran and ended the series about three or four episodes before the end and called it a day.
That's more or less the story. Found out they'd been cancelled well into production and cobbled together the most beautifully orchestrated dumpster fire of a finale that sullies both itself and TNG in one fell swoop.
All in all ... I didn't feel like the same heart was in the series like in TOS, TNG, DS9 or VOY .... and it's a big pun because of the theme song they chose
It was a never ending tragedy, terror, war, conflict show that did it's best to pretend they were moral heroes in a universe full of people that wanted to kill them for no reason other than to hate them .... you'd almost think it was subtle propaganda for that weird period from 2001 to 2005 to just keep people thinking that the US is just hated for no reason and factions just want to kill them for merely existing.
I enjoyed it because it was Trek and there were moments I liked it but not very often. Overall, its probably my least liked Trek so far.
Just wait 'til you work through DISCO.
I have gone through DISCO and I liked it a bit better because at least there were a few characters there that I enjoyed and the special effects were great eye candy.
Enterprise never seemed to have any redeeming characters and there were never any spectacular effects to remember .... of the crew, my favourite was Phlox and with others one of my most favourite was Shran! which is funny because one of my most hated characters was Combs' character Weyoun in DS9
