Turn on the Stupo-Meter

Tonight we get the season finale of "24" - and the only think on TV that's been consistently stupider than "24" is "Enterprise". At least on "24", the CTU guys seem convinced that the bad guys are bad, and that something needs to be done. They are riven by all of the stock TV personal problems - spouses in danger, silly second story line (at least we no longer have to see Sherry Palmer though) - and so on. Over on "Enterprise", the stupidity never stops. Wait, Earth was attacked and millions died - so command sent a ship under non-military command to deal with it? And can someone explain to me why the phasers are never set on kill? Send in O'Neill from SG-1, please. Or even Red from "That 70's Show". Heck, send in Donna for goodness sakes...
