Starting next Wednesday (February 20th), Channel 9 will be showing the latest Star Trek series, Enterprise in the 10:30pm - 11:30pm time slot. I've seen a few episodes of the new series as Internet downloads, and it's proving to be a very interesting and new approach to the whole Star Trek phenomenon. Set in the 22nd century, the show is about the very early days of human warp travel, 50 years or so before the United Federation of Planets even existed. The crew wear baseball caps, and have a very gung-ho attitude to most things. As usual, there's a couple of non-human crew on the ship, including the very luscious T'Pol, a female Vulcan played by model turned actress Jolene Blalock. It's definitely worth checking out, and I'm most impressed that an Australian free-to-air TV channel have taken up the show this early. In the past we've always been a couple of years behind the eight ball - this time it's only four months.
