I hated Enterprise until Xindi. I thought killing off trip was a great way to mature the show. I recently saw the final episode and decided it wasn't as bad as I originally thought. Why? Because, as TNG episodes go...the third season of Enterprise is awesome. You can plug ENT season three in as a a holodeck program running in between bad TNG season 5 episodes, and all is well.
As far as a series reboot goes, I believe it should be in movies. 6 years of movies. Everyone (including Paramount) seems to have forgotten that these are also epic adventure stories. Let's see some space! Star bases! Tight tunics and miniskirts! Er, I mean, some new worlds where there's no air and the natives don't speak English! I think the best series directors (especially Dawson, Burton, and Frakes) should take the best stories and tell them. Nobody has cried at Star Trek since Spock died. It's really time, I think, to make these stories big again. And, it's time to follow the books. Even if it means doing "New Frontiers" stories...the books are so much better than anything that's been on screen in years, it's time to stop improvising and use the playbook.
