Beyond The Rim Of The Starlight
I never got into Enterprise, aka Star Trek: Enterprise (they renamed it in the third season--if the fans hadn't figured it out by then, what's the point?), but now that it's being rerun on the Syfy channel, I thought I'd give it a second chance.
However, I started watching and ran into that awful theme song by Diane Warren. I know it shouldn't make a difference, but I find it such a terrible way to start on a Star Trek adventure that I can't continue from that point.

You should thank Diane. She's apparently saved you hours of excruciating "drama".
Boy are you right - the song isn't so terrible in its own right, but is the worst I could imagine to open a science fiction adventure story. Especially heard over rousing pictures of human advancement into space (Saturn rockets, Moon landings, and of course the first Warp drive test).
I watched faithfully the first season. The second season I missed some episdoes and never was able to catch up because they kept changing the show time and didn't run all the reruns. result, I never knew how the earth got attacked and how marines got posted on teh Enterprise. I also must have missed something about the guy from the future who was instructing the Suliban. Every episode relied so much on knowing every previous episode it became to frustrating to watch, and I gave up.
Sorry to be late to this- but apparently there are "webisodes" about Star Trek (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458122/) carrying on the plot of the original series with different actors playing the key roles- due to the technology I can't seem to be able to watch them- looked interesting because there was plenty of "blast from the past" type moments- I ran across this searching Imdb to see if William Windom was still alive- don't remember why but was surprised to see that the spry 80+ year had reprised his role as one of the typically difficult and inept Starfleet higherups sometime in 2004 (and yes he's still alive I think)
Has anyone seen these? Are there worth the brain damage necessary to figure out how to watch them?
They're worth watching for curiosity value only.
