Star Trek: Enterprise

I have just ordered the first season of Star Trek: Enterprise. Please reassure me this was not an error.

If you don't like Star Trek, then yes, it was.

RaidenGB · 4 Feb 2011 at 17:03

Seasons 1 and 2 and not so good but 3 and 4 Great

Destination · 4 Feb 2011 at 17:05

Yup, not a great deal to make me want to watch it again.
Jolene Blalock does make for a very good Vulcan.

Why didn't you seek reassurance before ordering?

stulid · 4 Feb 2011 at 17:51

He bought the box set just to watch t'pau

I thought it was a decent series, cant understand why it got so much stick tbh. Plus i still maintain that season 3 was probably the best season out of all the Treks there was.

Thank god for that.

Enterprise was ok, but never seemed to know how/where the hell it wanted to go, or even if it was a ST or what.

The real kick in the teeth is the ending though.

Give me DS9 any day.

Once the charaters developed a little it wasn't bad at all and season 3 was intense with the big story arc.

It did suffer greatly due to budget cuts and whatnot and was ended abruptly.

Shame, as I thought it had potential.

Amen to that.

Enterprise just didn't make sense most of the time.

DS9 is by far the best incarnation of ST to date.

I ordered the full set a while back when they were cheap. I personally enjoy them - just wish we had more trek on our screens these days!

james.miller · 4 Feb 2011 at 19:36

i love how star trek splits opinions so much

for example, i prefer voyager over ds9 as although voyager was mostly average, it was at least consistent where as ds9 was a pile of crap right up until the last few seasons.

It's always going to be TNG though. i mean, that just IS star trek.

Demoniser · 4 Feb 2011 at 19:43

I quite enjoyed Enterprise tbh, probably because the exploration and discovery of stuff seemed to have much more impact imo.

TNG/DS9/Voyager felt very routine, surveys, reports, investigations, away teams. The characters in these shows were academic scientists and researchers that documented and mapped everything for further study.

Enterprise on the other hand, felt more akin to a bunch of people who've just graduated, and went travelling to see the world and meet new people. Without the established universe of the Federation it just felt 'newer'.

Do agree that DS9 wins as the best incarnation though, by a long way.

DS9 was horrible, I can't stand anything about it, Sisko is so wooden and rubbish, I absolutely hate the Ferengi, the Bajoran religious stuff is tiresome and the storyline is weak

CaptainRAVE · 4 Feb 2011 at 19:56

DS9 was a strange one, it just couldn't decide what it wanted to be. On the one hand it was like a TV soap, on the other it had one of the best wars of any trek tv show or film.

Voyager was always fun and Janeway made a kickass captain. However, it always annoyed me how much of a beating they took and yet always looked as if they had just left spacedock.

rypt · 4 Feb 2011 at 19:57

TNG was the best
Followed by Enterprise
Followed by Voyager
Followed by the original series
Followed by DS9

it had cool wars though! but i agree i wasnt a sisqo fan and odo was crap to. quark was iritating , siskos son was a noob etc.

dominion wars rocked though

Season 4 has its moments, but most of the time I was staring at T'Pol's bottom.

Until the last line

eek

I was in full agreement with this. Even as a dreaful die hard TNG fanboy, I thought the ending was ill-judged.

The grand story arc in Season's 2 & 3 was a mistake, as I don't think that's the way Trek should be, or ever should if miracles happen and a new Trek comes to pass. Mini-arcs perhaps, but no multi season spanning affairs, that will always disappoint in the end.

As for DS9. Well that left me cold, but that's for another thread/argument.
