ST: Enterprise
They're showing Shockwave (Star Trek: Enterprise) and I begin to think this show is just insufferable. Do they use time travel to fix all their problems everywhere in the whole series? Someone else here watches it so I see it sort of automatically, but maybe I'll start going out of my way to avoid it. I've only seen a few episodes and it has some likeable elements but the whole Time Cop thing is bad juju for any sf story. Babylon 5 barely got away with it but ST seems nowhere near competent enough to even try. Thanks. 2601:648:8202:96B0:0:0:0:E118 (talk) 08:42, 1 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Time travel to solve problems has been used quite often in the history of the series. TOS - Tomorrow Is Yesterday, Assignment: Earth among others. The film Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Rather than type the rest just see Category:Star Trek time travel episodes. It should be noted that it is a long time trope in SciFi in general. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 22:26, 1 February 2020 (UTC)


 * But, to answer the specific question: No, "time travel to fix all their problems" is not what the show is about. Most of the time it's either willingness to negotiate with aliens, or technical ingenuity. On the other hand, there are quite a few time-travel episodes over the run of the series, including some that resolve major ongoing plot elements.  --142.112.159.101 (talk) 05:41, 2 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks both of you. Time travel in SF can work ok as a one-shot device, but ENT is an arc series, and imho it becomes a hopeless mess if there are characters travelling back and forth multiple times destroying causality in the story.  The blue jumpsuits also make the crew members look like janitors.  Oh well.  2601:648:8202:96B0:0:0:0:E118 (talk) 19:13, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah ENT is too contrived. Older series are better. 93.136.119.51 (talk) 09:44, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Technically, all works of fiction are contrived. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 11:40, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

Translation to Krakowiaczek
Does anyone have a translation to Krakowiaczek ? Krakowiaczek jeden mial koników siedem. Pojechal na wojnę, Zostal mu się jeden.

Krakowianka jedna miala chlopca z drewna i dziewczynke z wosku, wszystko po krakowsku. --- Krakowiaczek jeden Miał koników siedem Pojechał na wojnę Został mu się jeden

Siedem lat wojował Szabli nie wyjmował Szabla zardzewiała Wojny nie widziała

Krakowianka jedna Miała chłopca z drewna A buciki z wosku Wszystko po krakowsku

Krakowiaczek ci ja Krakowskiej natury Kto mi wejdzie w drogę Ja na niego z góry

Krakowiaczek ci ja Któż nie przyzna tego Siedemdziesiąt kółek U pasika mego

Krakowiaczek ci ja Z czerwona czapeczką Szyta kierezyja Bucik z podkóweczką

Gra mi wciąż muzyka A kółka trzepocą Jak małe księżyce W blasku się migocą

Krakowiaczek jeden Miał koników siedem Pojechał na wojnę Został mu się jeden

 * You want Reference desk/Language. This is the entertainment desk, which is mostly about movies and TV shows in English.  translate.google.com gives some intelligible output though.  I added &lt;poem> tags to put line breaks in the right places for you.  2601:648:8202:96B0:0:0:0:E118 (talk) 09:42, 1 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Mama Lisa has one (not sure if all the verses you posted are there, but there are quite a few): Krakowiaczek jeden. ---Sluzzelin talk  14:21, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
