Black Holes don't work that way and even if they did the Romulans wouldn't need any help from Spock to fix their Sun. Because unlike the Federation which relies on antimatter reactors, Romulan Warbirds are powered by artificial quantum singularities, so they're already experts on black holes.

That was the response I was looking for. ^_^

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Is Enterprise really that awful?  I saw maybe 2 or 3 episodes and it looked decent from what I remember.  I think that was the first season or two though.The concept seemed kind of cool, and Scott Bakula is still the man for Quantum Leap and cheers-ing Utica Club in the opening credits of the new show he's in.

I thought it was good. But I think I may have been the only person. There were some crap episodes here and there, but all the series had those.
:p

I remember thinking the concept of Enterprise was dumb, and by the time it came on I didn't watch much live TV anymore.  The couple of episodes I've seen in syndication seemed allright though.

Once you get over the stupid song & other inane concepts Enterprise is Ok.

The problem with Star Trek is that it's been beaten to death and back.  They can't seem to let it lie.  And no the reboot movie didn't breathe any new life in it IMO.

Star Wars on the other hand has enormous potential.  When Lucas finally croaks and the rights to these movies are sold by his heirs, somebody with talent can have a go at a remake.

Are you kidding?  They can't remake Star Wars.  That would be an attrocity so great that the new trilogy would pale in comparison.

I think ST did get over-exposed about a decade ago, the concept itself is hardly dead.  How can it be - it's ultimately a story of space exploration.  The possibilities are limitless.   There are nearly endless possible prosthetic foreheads they can still use. :P

It would work if they made Han a woman.

If it has such enormous potential why remake an already existing brilliant movie?  Make something new that is actually good in the Star Wars universe.

Don't be absurd - they just need to call Ron Moore for the remake - something dark and gritty.  :cool:
