Fair enough. It was a big issue with it here in the US which is where most of the viewership was.

Naw he's right. Adding the backtrack and guitar to the DS9 intro also ruined it. The Season 1-3 intro was peak.

I disagree. The problem with it was really that it aired on UPN which had low viewership since it was exclusive and wasn't broadcast on syndication so most Trek fans couldn't even watch it, and that it played heavily off Bush-era politics and not in a good way.

Honestly, Enterprise is a great show and the fact we never got Season 5 is a Travesty.

I loved Season 2, Seasons 1 and 3 were ok, and Season 4 set a new tone that I wish they would have continued on. It's kind of why I wish Star Trek United will happen.

You have to account for repeat viewers either way, but yeah you're right.

This is why I tell people to become a hoplite reenactor, it's the cheapest one to get into. All you need is a shield and spear, everything else is optional!

Yes, *everything* else.

I think part of it is people don't understand how comparatively ergonomic and light weight properly fitting armor is.

Also a lot of those limb pieces were extremely thin too.

It's Seneca so I'm actually wondering if it refers to makeup, which could be seen as morally excessive.

Don't forget all the goddamn lawns.

A huge chunk of it is literally just fucking almond farming. Almond milk needs some kind of heavy restriction on it.

Oh yeah but I accidentally came across it in the urbanist space.

I hate that the Roman Helmet Guy dude actually has really nuanced and informed views on tax policy.
