I think Michelle that the reason for that scene is because of the two people responsible for the whole series. Remember it is the same creative team that came up with Voyager. One of the only reasons to add Jerry Ryan to the cast was for the "wow" factor. They wanted to boost the ratings and felt that adding a busty blonde would do the trick. They had repeated episodes that glorified this fact and had no real reason in the plot. I think you will see more instances of scenes like this and that has got me worried. Bakula is great and the cast seems well rounded. What I really like is that there is no United Federation of Planents and no prime directirve so they are almost like cowboys from the West searching out new places and taking charge. -- Enterprise and All Things Trek

[> [> I like those aspects too, Ian. Even though Kirk, Picard, Sisko, and Janeway violated the Prime Directive on MANY occasions, it will be interesting to see Enterprise operate without those constraints. I imagine thme getting into trouble and maybe that trouble is eventually the reason behind adopting the Prime Directive. Possible? LOL! We'll have to wait and see! -- MichelleB, 10:10:06 10/01/01 Mon

[> [> [> That is a good point Michelle. Maybe Bakula is the whole reason for the prime directives!! On another note, while I would agree that all of the above sometimes violated the prime directives Janeway just plane didnt use them at all. She did what she felt like doing and challenged anyone in her crew to say anything about it. It was one of the worst things about Voyager. Janeway said the heck with everything and you are doing what I say, the rules dont matter to me. -- Ian M, 17:00:34 10/01/01 Mon
