first of all, let me explain something.(to you who are NOT finding the 1 * review helpful at the bottom of this page) If you watched the original series closely(or at all for that matter) you'd find that thier is an insecurity aboard the enterprise(as in Kirk, McCOy and crew ect.) This is "New Fronteir" as stated by Kirk himself. Enterprise(as in the seires Archer) is a lackluster attempt for nostalgia without even knowing what the true concept is about! The crew is too comfortable, and worried more about how "irritating" the smell of human is to vulcan females, rather than how dangerous space travel can be. Thier is no sense of anxiety as in the kirk series. It does not feel as it took place before; but after. I am infiriated to the point of rage by one season in particular as it reflects 9/11 in a macho attempt to appease our war-hungery audiance. T'Pau(or whatever you spell it) is much of the time out of character for a vulcan. More than the music, most of these characters are sappy(particuallarly the male characters) and unfriendly. They have no respect for one another, and are not inspiring at all. I don't feel I could care weather they lived or died. I always routed for Spock, McCoy and Kirk(and crew) but not with the Archer Club.(as in Culture Club). After Next Generation the writers got soft from being in the tank too long and laid in thier money bins not worried about "New Frontiers". If you rate this anything other than one star, you odviously are too young to know better.
 Unbelievable, I cannot believe this series was cut short January 1, 2006

I have enjoyed watching TNG, Voyager, and Enterprise. I am now convinced that Star Trek is far more interesting than Star Wars thanks to Enterprise. Season 3 of Enterprise in undoubtedly some of the best story-telling, directing, acting I have ever seen on the small screen (5 stars!!). My compliments and thanks!! Perhaps if the Trek movies were made more along these lines of creativity and skill, they wouldn't have fallen way short of fan-expectations (ie. Insurrection, Nemesis, Star Trek 1,5). Perhaps instead of concentrating in North America, the producers should try reaching a more international/global audience (half of the income from Star Wars comes from outside N.America). Also, I don't think Trip died just yet, Hollywood has ways of resurrecting the dead (see Planet of the Apes original). He could have just missed the conference because of his condition. I certainly didn't see the rest of the bridge crew "miss-him-because-he-was-dead" while at the conference if he was really dead. I would also like to add, that I really liked Cmdr "Shran" the Andorian aside from the rest of the regular Enterprise crew. He has the best and funniest one-liners. Anyway, do give this series a chance, I for one will give DS9 a chance too (I have yet to see more than 10 episodes of DS9) and certainly try to watch the original Kirk series (have only seen less than a handful). I also wish the DVDs could be much more affordable ($$500++ for a 7 season Trek show is way too much even for a Trek fan like myself, the wife would never approve). The Enterprise introductory music isn't so bad, it's different and bold, but I got to like it after just few runs. Just let the franchise rest a little, fans will welcome it back again I'm sure, once they realize it's been missing from their lives. I get Star Trek only once a week, and only Enterprise at 10pm on a Saturday, and a re-run of the same at 2:30am on a Sunday. Some of you guys have all the luck and not know it.
 One of Trek's most underrated December 26, 2005

When I first heard of Star Trek Enterprise I did what most people did when DS9 came out.....dismissed it. I actually loved all of the previous series but in reading many reviews of this at first I didn't even give it a chance. BIG MISTAKE on my part. Reason I say this is because I ended up buying this DVD set because a few friends of mine who like me, dismissed this series said it was killer and that I had to get it. So I said....why not? Anyway I am very happy with this series, the first Episode in Season 1 is outstanding. The first season is sort of choppy, some GREAT episodes and some OK or boring ones. Season 2 is pretty good as I enjoyed most of it. Season 2 also gets better and better as you progress through it. However season 3 and 4 are both fantastic. This is a pretty good series and the plotlines in seasons 3 and 4 were killer.....a night and day difference from seasons 1 and 2. I recommend this to Trek fans!
False Expectations November 28, 2005

The biggest problem that I saw with Enterprise was that it took place after all the previous series. People's expectations and preconceived ideas as to what the show should be is the biggest downfall to this series. I can't tell how many times I heard people preface their comments with " I like the show but it's isn't like the original" or "it doesn't compare to TNG". Enterprise is a good show. The plots were fine but I think people didn't let go of previous series and judged it against them. Scott Bakula's character was great and the relationship between Trip and Tapal was fun. The ending to the series stank because there were so many potential story lines that could have been explored and weren't. Given that it still was pretty good.
Loss of Roddenberry's vision November 28, 2005

I am an avid Star Trek fan, having watched the original series as a young teen. I have found two of the series, DS9 and Enterprise, to be hack writing that seemed intended to slap a "Star Trek" label on swill and sell it to the public.
Enterprise was doomed by bad writing with none of the original thought or vision that the original series or TNG had, and, to some extent, Voyager (Voyager's strength was good writing, good adventure, character development and maturation of the Borg).
I can't tell if the actors on Enterprise were very good or not because I think they were given such corny, cheezy material to use by the writers. The writers were usually, I believe, the producers, and I wonder if they were "double dipping" to supplement their paycheck (getting income from the script writing) rather than trying to produce an excellent SciFi series with radical, ground-breaking new ideas.
While there were a few clique shows intending to oppose gay bashing, support HIV research, etc., all this has been over done (and done better) by others. Star Trek is supposed to original, not "me, too."
In short, this series (and I kept hopefully watching every episode) is, in my opinion, a disgrace to Gene Roddenberry, his family, and the vision of Star Trek. It has the distinction of being the only Star Trek series, since the original, to be canceled before seven years, and the planned finale (the original seies from the 60s was canceled due to a total lack of vision of the management, from what I can tell, not due to lack of quality).
I hope that, should the Star Trek genre be salvagable at this point, an honest, thorough critique of what went wrong with Enterprise (and DS9, in my opinion, for that matter) will be done to prevent these mistakes in future work and to return to the original creativity and vision intended by Roddenberry.
