Enterprise was a great concept but poorly executed. i really liked the idea of pre-Federation Starfleet and the lower level of technology after the constant advancements seen in TNG-DS9-Voyager.
But the producers fucked up most of it. The last year was pretty good though, especially for longterm Trek fans who get to see prequel stories to a lot of unanswered concepts and stories.
But in the end it was like the Star Wars episodes 1-3, it couldn't ever stand on its own, it was always a prequel that required an appreciation of the other series.



I liked Enterprise for the same reasons. And it got back to the concept of man exploring space and how it affects him. Lot of weird writing that hurt some of the first season. Not top notch stuff, but show me anything better from the first three seasons of TNG. I think that when they finally found their niche, Paramount pulled the plug. Trek fans were too anal about things to let it be a success. I think Enterprise paid off on a lot of promises that Voyager didn't. You had a ship that got fucked up and stayed fucked up from episode to episode, and the captain had to bargain with those he met out in space to stay alive or finish a mission. Could have been the best Trek in a while had they let it alone.


yeah, I think Voyager really damaged Enterprise before it even premiered. It had terrible ratings by its last year and the producers created a lot of bad feelings amongst fans that probably scared them off of Enterprise.
I think the last season of Enterprise had some very creative and enjoyable storylines. If you look at the timetable for Star Trek then the 5th and 6th years would've been the Earth-Romulan war which would've been incredible.

Bow ties are coool.
