Review of Broken Bow, Part 1

So far, new Star Trek series take a season or two to get interesting. This one promises to be interesting already. Bakula makes a great Captain. I like the oddball doctor and look forward to fascinating revelations about him. It's great that there's at least one (human) crewmember who isn't sanguine about the dangerous situations; it'll be cool to see her develop a thick skin. Not crazy about the "babe" factor, with Jolene Blalock in a "cat suit" like Seven of Nine from Voyager; it's insulting to ST and SF fans, unnecessary to get attention for a potentially great show, and very much out-of-character for Vulcans. The Suliban and their associates are extremely intriguing -- what do they want? Looking forward to seeing how Berman et al insert stories into the ST saga that tie in but don't mess up the ST universe. (Will Capt. Archer wind up leaving really weird events out of his log? What happens to new aliens that don't seem to be around in Kirk's time? So many interesting questions.)
