"Star Trek: Enterprise" abandons subtlety
The repeat of this week's episode is on right now here and the writers have completely abandoned subtlety with their so-obvious-it-slaps-you-in-the-face-like-a-halibut digs at a certain world leader. The episode started out with the Vulcan leader asking if it was logical to wait for the Andorians to use a massively destructive weapon they are thought to have. Later, the Vulcan leader talks about "insurgents" who are opposing him. Then a Vulcan who is working against the Vulcan leader talks with an Andorian who is saying that they don't have the weapon because they were unable to gather data on the original version (which belonged to another race that was attacking Earth) that was destroyed. The Vulcan responds by saying that that information was "conveniently" left out by the Vulcans. Could they be any more obvious?
Just yet another reason not to watch the show. (I unfortunately happened upon it when flipping through the channels and the initial dig against President Bush made me curious at how far they'd take it.)
