Other than that horrible "fuc* you" series ender B&B crafted, one of the worst single shows in all of Trek, up (or down) there with the clip show that ended season two of TNG.

That's followed by the movie "First Contact", and then by the premiere of "Caprica". I will say about "Enterprise" , it's a show that had its moments. Watching the Xindi storyline in big chunks, for example, I can appreciate the dramatic intensity of it better. There are some gems in that storyline: the "Memento" type ep (on now) where Archer's in a future where Earth's destroyed, and T'Pol must retell the story to him every single day...the ep where, desperate to continue the mission, Archer orders his reluctant crew to actually attack and steal supplies from a ship that had recently aided them.. A powerful study of morality vs. need, and rather radical for "Trek"...the various dealings with the Vulcans and Andorians--how cool to see the Andorians having had so significant a part in the early days of Starfleet, how cool to see Vulcan as a sometimes duplicitous, self-serving planet on the brink of rejecting Logic, how cool to see how Earth, as an outsider planet, helped broker deals that lead to the creation of the Federation. There was lots of good stuff that fleshed out and revealed new stories on the history of Starfleet. As the show entered it's last couple of seasons it hit its stride and became what I expected. Of course, one has to wade through the bad first couple of seasons, the juvenile attempts at titillation sprinkled throughout the series, and the B&B obsession with time travel stories, one of which ruined the whole Xindi storyline by ending with that stupid Nazi/alien occupied NYC. But overall, not a bad way to spend a day. Hotmail: Powerful Free email with security by Microsoft. Get it now.
