[color=#000000ost_uid0]3. Despite knowning better, you stick around to see what screwball thing is done next. Chances of irreversible insanity rise the longer you dare watch.

2. They offered four free pieces of pie to anyone willing to watch.

1. In a final act of desperation, they also offer seven bowls of chili too.

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Top 10 ways that Enterprise can be considered cruel and unusual punishment.

10. It was the seed for Chilli jokes.
9. Isnt watching a Vulcan in a catsuit a little wierd?
8. Mayweather fans will always be disappointed.
7. Hoshi reminds us of how inadaquate our translators are.
6. Hoshi reminds us of how fun it is to use Google translators, and therefore you spend three hours playing with them[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]5. Decon and neuro-pressure scenes physically painful to fans with IQ in double digits and over
4. Theme song remains a bane to human existance galaxy-wide
3. Destroys viewer's capability of linear continuous thought, particularly the episode where Q and the Borg invade Enterprise's holodeck
2. Reverses decades of advancement towards tolerence, understanding, and elimination of bigotry by portrayal of Vulcans as bunch of stuck-up a**holes

And the number one reason [iost_uid0]ENT[/iost_uid0] qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment:

1. Four words: "A Night in Sickbay".

[quoteost_uid0="Nic Corelli"][color=#000000ost_uid0]6. You keep watching Voyager looking for the lost continuity, but it doesn`t matter because you enjoy cheering "WHEEEEEE!" every time Janeway takes out phaser rifles or slams Voyager into other ships.[/colorost_uid0][/quoteost_uid0]

Don't need to have. I'm not talking about a specific game or ruleset here. But there are enough forumgoers who know roleplaying so they can picture it in a Trek setting. Anyone who [iost_uid0]doesn't[/iost_uid0] know what roleplaying is... well... um...

You know those old "Choose Your Own Adventure" books?
Kinda like that. Only at the end of each page/paragraph, you get to go [iost_uid0]anywhere you want[/iost_uid0].[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]9. If you like to play the part of Quark or a Romulan, you get used to not having much to do because the person playing the part of Worf is usually so into the character that he (or she) finds a way to kill you off just for the heck of it within the first few paragraphs

8. When the person playing Janeway's part gets sick and tired of all the coffee jokes and writes in a scene where Janeway goes berserk and Betsys all the worst offenders to atoms

7. Staying true to his or her traitorous personality, your character backstabs the character played by your best online friend in an absolutely helpless moment. Your friend refuses to communicate with you for several weeks afterward.

6. Getting stuck with the part of Porthos and being unable to do much more than bark and wag your tail.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]5. You get stuck being Mayweather, so you don't get any lines. All you do is report on where you are piloting the ship

4. Someone keeps returning everyone to the Train Station, where Josie the cow is.

3. Everyone keeps falling in love with your character and all you want is to be left alone in the ready room.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]2. Your character goes on an away mission with the entire senior staff. Unfortunately for you, you're part of the security detail.

and the final one...
1. Knowing better then to choose the role of anyone in security, you create a character that is an engineer. Unfortunately for you, you stand next to a console that runs on 50,000 volts during a battle, and it has no fuses...

10. Mayweather speaks, causing a time rift which takes him to see Jake. Jake explains that in seasons 6 and 7 he finally speaks. Mayweather returns to NX-01 hopeful, but no one notices.
9. Porthos meets Spot, and they join up to free the whales. Somehow, though, when they return, they find people saying, "I can speak whaaaaaalllleeeeeeeeeeee".[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]8. The NX-01 trips over a nebula and falls headfirst into a transient wormhole that timewarps it forward several centuries. Upon exiting the wormhole, the ship promptly collides with a passing Starfleet ship, which explodes. The NX-01 is equipped with superior deflector plotholes and so survives. Daniels promptly appears to berate them for destroying a ship that was to play a key role in an upcoming key battle. The NX-01's appearance is altered with a quickie paint job and a humongous funny-nose-and-glasses disguise and takes part in the battle, replacing the ship it rammed.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]7. In a strange transporter accident, the crew finds themselves in on a strange space station called DS9. The entire crew is confused by the lack of plotholes, the continuity, and the concept of clothing going OVER underwear.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]6. After months of deadly threats from anomalies, Xindi ships, and sweeps episodes, the Enterprise finally reaches the Xindi home planet and the crew marches into the Xindi Senate for a showdown...only to discover that that very morning, a group of small brightly-colored teddy bears with drawings on their stomachs had blipped into existence there, cleansed the Xindi of all hostile thoughts by a few mere brightly-colored energy beams, and then left in time to make it back home for tea.


5. "That's no Xindi Sphere...that's a space station!" [iost_uid0]*ZAP*[/iost_uid0] "[bost_uid0]AARRRGH![/bost_uid0]"[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]3. The NX-01 crew is brought to the 24th Century by the Prophets to help protect Bajor in the Dominion War. Sisko and T`Pol kiss passionately.

2. The temporal anomaly from "Yesterday`s Enterprise" sucks in the NX-01 too. The ship fights off the Romulans to save Enterprise C and Enterprise D. Picard and Hoshi kiss passionately.

1. While juggling timelines, Admiral Janeway drags the NX-01 along with her in the Delta Quadrant, 2377 AD. Archer and the crew destroy the Borg while Admiral Janeway brings Voyager safely home through the transwarp hub. Trip and Pari..um, B`Elanna kiss passionately.
