Growing up on "Quantum Leap", we were super excited to hear the news that Scott Bakula would be playing the next captain in Star Trek: Enterprise, back in 2001. The show was slightly different from past Star Trek series, but Scott and the rest of the cast surely didn't disappoint. Enterprise can often be a dividing line among Trek fans. Wait, I take that back, other than TNG and The Original Series, just about everything in Trek can be a dividing line among fans. Anyway, we loved Enterprise and were surely sad to see it go in 2005. Apparently Scott was sad to see it go as well. According to a StarTrek.com interview Scott thinks that Archer could have grown up and lightened up a bit in the fifth season and that the series finale was a bit "odd". We completely agree with you Scott. Although, Archer was still The Man, even if he could have smiled a little more. Check out an excerpt from the interview below.

Five years on, how do you look back on Enterprise?

Catchy title, eh? We spent a good deal of our evening coming up with that little gem. We'll maybe not the whole evening... Anyway, since we've started re-watching "Enterprise" from the very beginning, we've fallen in love with Dr. Phlox, all over again. At the moment, and this could change at anytime, Phlox has become our favorite Trek doc. Not that we don't love Bones, The EMH, Dr. Bashir, & Dr. Crusher (well maybe not Crusher).

With the recent announcement of his retirement, Leonard Nimoy has been hitting the convention circuit pretty heavily.  Not that we're complaining.  We definitely want to see him before he buys a condo and moves to Florida.  With the retirement news though, we just assumed that Vegas Khhaaan! was going to be his last show.  Apparently not.  It looks like the 44th annual Chi-town convention could be our Vulcan friend's last show (maybe).  So, if you're looking for a chance to get a photo or autogarph with Mr. Nimoy beyond Vegas, you still have a chance.

One of the most underrated Star Trek series, in our book, "Star Trek: Enterprise" or just "Enterprise" is now available for viewing online.   CBS Studios has made all four seasons watchable for free on CBS.com.  Star Trek: The Original Series is also available for viewing through the CBS website.

From our understanding, Apple iPad users should also be able to view the series.  If not now, then soon since it appears that CBS is in the process of testing and slowly releasing all of it's streaming content using HTML 5 instead of Adobe Flash.

Convention season is quickly approaching. We're even getting in high gear already for Vegas Con, but there is one convention we would love to visit.  Shore Leave 32 is set for July 9-11, 2010 and is known to be one of the biggest fan run conventions on the giant blue marble.  This year's guest list is already starting to shape up.  Our buddy Miles McLoughlin from the SciFi Diner Podcast reminded us about the update.  Thanks Miles!
