Could TNG Stunt Casting Save 'Enterprise'? 785
Tycoon Guy writes "It seems Star Trek: Enterprise isn't about to go down without a fight. TrekToday is reporting that Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis will guest-star on the season finale of Star Trek: Enterprise, to reprise their Next Generation roles of William T. Riker and Deanna Troi. Hello stunt casting! The news has been confirmed on Sirtis' official fan site."

But truth be told, I wouldn't want to see Kirk giving Spock naked backrubs.
Enterprise is ok overall, they just too revisionist and reliant and tech babble for my tastes...and I get the feeling that they are making things up as they go along. Sorry, think I've been spoiled by JMS and B5 in my expectations from a "serious" sci-fi show.

Please compare to DS9: a bleak war movie in space, with an emphasis on fighting an implacable, deadly enemy (the Dominion); dark and gritty. For my money, this was the most entertaining of the Star Treks, but for what-if sci-fi and Utopian morality plays, TNG is better.
They really lost me with Voyager, though: after reading Greg Egan's Permutation City, I was very excited about the prospect of a digital character, but it was very poorly executed. The Dr. was unable to fork/copy himself, and could only move his program to a "mobile emitter" and back. The computer memory had to be extensively modded to handle binary data! Arbitrary and ridiculous restrictions were placed on the tech because the writers didn't understand their subject matter, and were intent on telling their story, rather than exploring actual ramifications presented by the setting and characters.
Here are some new ST series ideas for Paramount:
