[@SwingingInTheHood]

Isn't it amazing how much more we all appreciate Enterprise after the past 14 or so years of Star Trek?

[@richard77231]

I appreciated it right at the beginning. I remember having a pit in my stomach at end of Azati Prime, probably the best Star Trek cliffhanger in my mind other than Best of Both Worlds.

[@DavidEvans1983]

Its amazing. At the time I didnt really like S1+2 of Enterprise but compared to any Trek since 2005 its a masterpiece. Unless something drastic happens I doubt we'll see such writing in Trek again.

[@RezValla]

Hating trek while it’s on because it’s not what came before is an important part of trek fandom. Enterprise is great now

[@SwingingInTheHood]

@@RezValla Me, for one, I always liked Enterprise. It is my favorite Trek after TOS. I will admit that it took a while for my favorite characters to grow on me: Trip, Tpol and Flox But when they did, I absolutely loved the series. I was never a big fan of TNG, although I watched it off and on and went to all of the movies. I gave Discovery almost 2 years -- I never grew to like anything about it. In fact, I grew to despise it.

[@CST247]

I always like Enterprise, I even bought the strangely shaped DVD box sets of it. It’s a shame it only had 4 seasons and was the point that I realised that TV / movies I would want don’t have mass appeal. So just happy to have had what I have. Like others have said I don’t even consider new trek post STE Star Trek. It’s someone else’s interpretation on the genre. One I don’t like

[@chungkingexpress94]

Trip and T'pol's relationship becomes the heart of the entire show. When they hold hands at the end of season 4 (forget the final-final episode, it's not real) while mourning their daughter it's an amazing contrast to their first meeting when T'pol wouldnt even shake Trip's hand. Enterprise in so many ways proved to be a show about people from different worlds finding themselves in situations where they needed to trust each other to achieve a common good and I think the show, for all of the issues in the first two seasons, really stuck the landing on that theme in seasons 3 and 4. Trip and T'pol forever ❤

[@dougsmith6262]

Just went through the series again for the first time in a year or so, and watching that episode while our youngest is about the same age as their daughter was hard to watch. Such a powerful and impactful episode with masterful performances.

[@mikavirtanen7029]

Star Trek has not done romantic relationships usually very well, but Trip and T' Pol was handled beautifully. Props to Manny Coto who did see the chemistry between actors/characters, but never let it overwhelm the storylines.

[@mikavirtanen7029]

@Dominik Holewinski Nope, that was T'Pau. Younger version of T'Pau did make an appearance in Enterprise season 4 episode "The Forge".

[@AzraelThanatos]

@@mikavirtanen7029 I could see a T'pol cameo in SNW though that could be done rather easily

[@DoomFan2010]

What's nicer is in the books they eventually have a family. They bring back Trip and he works undercover for Starfleet Intelligence during the first war with the Romulans, and the book series ends with a flash forward to T'Pol with several children on Vulcan, and there is an elderly human male with them revealed to be Trip.

[@admiraltiberius1989]

Enterprise could have been something really special. With more support, money and time it could have been absolutely amazing. It was still really good and I frequently find myself watching my favorite episodes. Additional thoughts edit- With more money and effort the space battles could have gone from really good to properly great. Also the cast selection, acting never disappointed me. I love the idea of the MACOs and Earth torn between peaceful exploration and still wanting to be warlike. Lastly I have zero issues in the established lore of Phase Cannons, Hull plating etc.

[@drewg4261]

Exactly!

[@Anthyrion]

The sad thing is, that the series ended right before the Earth-Romulan war. That could've been a really interesting story, because it would be the first time, Vulcans, Andorians and Tellarites would be working together for a common goal

[@admiraltiberius1989]

@@Anthyrion that would have been a fantastic thing to see spread over 2 seasons or so.

[@Anthyrion]

@@admiraltiberius1989 Yes. Back then, some Fans hated ENT and said, that this isn't Trek. But i liked it. It showed us a time, where the Federation isn't the biggest player in the Quadrant and the Enterprise of Archer has to make pioneer work. The writers even included a "Prime Directive" Episode, even if the Prime Directive didn't exist at that time

[@mikavirtanen7029]

@@Anthyrion It was mostly butthurt TNG fanatics, who had big time delusions that if Enterprise got canned TNG would make a comeback in television. Hope the asswipes are now happy with Picard.

[@cpob2013]

Damage has one of my favorite moments. The aliens have refused to trade and archer is contemplating in his dark quarters. Phlox makes a report. Archer stands up and steps into the dark. "How long have you been a doctor?" 'Nearly forty years' "In your time as a doctor, have you ever had to do something you felt was unethical?" Phlox steps forward joining him in the dark. 'Twice... why?' "I'm about to cross a line I never thought I would. And given the nature of our mission, it probably won't be the last time" 'Probably not. May I ask what you're planning to do?' "There could be casulties" 'I'll be ready'

[@stevekitt52]

Probably my favourite as it really pushed the characters, especially Archer.

[@Zimionz]

Well... he nearly spaced and suffocated an alien prisoner for his ship's command codes. He crossed that line before. An act of piracy isn't any worse than that.

[@jpc347]

​@@Zimionz It's not just an act of piracy though. It was made clear that the loss of that warp coil would strand the aliens for years in a hostile region and with few supplies. Archer knew that he was in all likelihood condemning the entire crew to death.

[@BerndFelsche]

We do these things because they are necessary, with regret because they are no longer in our nature.

[@londonbobby]

Bringing Many Coto on to the production team really made a difference. Last two seasons of Enterprise are definitely among my favourites.

[@MrSpike320]

I wasn't a huge fan of Enterprise when it first started, but gave it a second chance once I heard that they were going to do a Babylon 5 like season long story arc; and I'm glad that I did! Season 4 will always be my favorite, but the Xindi arc was fantastic and made me wish that we had gotten that season long Year Of Hell arc that was originally planned for Voyager. Interesting fact about Carpenter Street: I remember reading an interview about star Jeffery Dean Morgan and he apparently HATED working on that episode so much that he almost quit acting all together because of it.

[@jonathanhallberg3009]

One relationship I absolutely loved in this season was the rivalry between Reed and Hayes. Having two military minded officers butting heads throughout the season only to gain a mutual respect for eachother is great to watch, not to mention Hayes death being one of the most heartbreaking ones of the entire season, if not the entire show. Also, the two episodes with Commander Shran are of course amazing, though he's one of my favourite characters in the entire series so I may be a bit biased.

[@AzraelThanatos]

Season 3 is also where the show seemed to get its footing and started feeling like it actually was a Star Trek series

[@balrighty3523]

1:40 I get why that may have been a concern at the beginning of the season, but not once it had all aired. The expanse was a region of space characterized by the weird effects caused by the spheres, and those were dealt with by the end. It seemed perfectly plausible that in a hundred years or so, no one would bother with continuing to call it "the former Delphic Expanse".

[@Sgtklark]

This was my favorite ST series. It was more realistic, I felt. No stupid Q episodes, no weekly transporter mishaps, no stupid holodeck malfunctions.

[@Sgtklark]

@Captain Reason Yeah, he had that going for him. But he offered to help in some episodes, and could have sent Voyager back home, but they were too proud to ask for his help.

[@qui-gonrick7002]

It's my favorite too. It's the only Trek show that made me feel like I'd really like to be on that ship. It felt like a more realistic adventure.

[@Sgtklark]

@@qui-gonrick7002 Yeah, the ship had sort of a retro feel, like the inside of a submarine. I think that is how the early star ships would look like, not like a hotel lobby like the later ships. I particularly liked the episode, Carbon Creek.

[@cinemike8207]

I completely agree! I had stopped watching Enterprise at a certain point but then I began to see some buzz online that I had to jump back in for season 3. I loved it for all of the reasons mentioned. While there is a fan base for it, I think that it’s way too under appreciated. Enterprise was really finding it’s place and I think we missed out not seeing where it could have gone if it wasn’t canceled.

[@TheWillHadcroft]

When originally broadcast, I gave up on Enterprise about half way through Season One. I'd had enough of Rick Berman and Jeri Taylor's take on the whole thing. During the Covid lockdowns, however, I watched *all* of the Berman incarnations of Star Trek and loved them all. Now I adore Enterprise and I'm angered that it was ended the way it was.

[@ParameterGrenze]

I nearly forgot how good ENT S3 was. Thanks for reminding me.

[@jamescraig3598]

Vulcan zombies. The horror trek that we didn't know we needed. Season three had a little of everything. A real treat.

[@crowsbridge]

Enterprise is my favorite, actually. Some of my favorite episodes are in the first season, though. Also, I enjoyed the intro song.

[@burnzy3210]

I wrote off enterprise when it came out because I didn't like it going backwards in the star trek timeline but to be honest it now seems much more attractive.

[@chrisbullard5901]

Regarding “Similitude”, I wish they just did a reverse Tuvix, and blended the two Trips in the transporter. It would’ve been an amazing acting opportunity for Trineer to try and play a character that’s wrestling with his identity as two variations of Trip.

[@steveleeart]

Wish they had been greenlit for a season five.

[@janeenschultz8502]

I don't remember a whole lot about Enterprise besides the seemingly incessant time travel when it canonically was supposed to be nigh-impossible and the 'huh' feeling I had at the ending revelation. I'm glad there's more to the show than the vague memories I have.

[@saucyduckglobalomnihyperme7510]

Enterprise was great. I hope we get an animated series.

[@michaeldemarco9950]

As for the Xindi Arc breaking canon, because “they never mentioned it before!” We’ll, Picard or Sisko never mentioned the black and white guys in “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield”, either.

[@LittleMikeStarCraft]

I really liked Enterprise. I didn't like the fact they made a prequel-- but once you get into it, it feels more like Trek.

[@erorpro]

My favorite Star trek is Enterprise.

[@Kaseyberg]

The whole series is extremely underrated but the first time i watched enterprise i definitely felt season 3 was the best trek ive seen

[@justanotherlikeyou]

Just finished watching all of Enterprise again for the second time. Definitely my favorite Trek show to date. I really liked seasons 1 & 2, but the finale of season 2 and all of seasons 3 & 4 were bangers. Great show. I skipped _These Are the Voyages_ as I hated that Enterprise was relegated to a holodeck program, instead considering _Terra Prime_ to be the true Enterprise finale. I thought that it works well for that purpose and leaves it open so that I can imagine the crew of Enterprise still doing their thing with T'Pol and Trip developing their relationship more.

[@pwgdeathhawk8146]

Damage is my absolute favourite episode ever, it shows humanity especially archer at his worst and his best self in one show.

[@MDLi0n]

I didn't like enterprise at first. When the Borderlands episodes aired, it started to be absolutely brilliant and it just got better and better

[@amateurcrastinator9523]

Enterprise is legit one of my favorite Trek series. I really wish it had gotten a 5th season. It got canceled right when it found solid footing.

[@Ickabodxx]

The biggest compliment I can give this season, My wife was excited to watch this season, and she does not like sci-fi at all, like at all.

[@thomasbarca9297]

I agree I loved the Xindi arc

[@YooTubeSlave]

"A nice throwback to the Westerns of the original series." I've never been able to get through the one with Captain Kirk at the OK Corral. It's the ONE episode I've still never been able to get through with the exception of most of Lower Decks.

[@greebo7857]

Like you, I will binge this every year. I'm always saddened, as my late wife was an avid Trek fan, but refused to watch Enterprise when it aired as it was a "prequel", so I didn't either. Saddened, because I know she would have loved it, and I wish I could share it with her. Well, apart from the hideous theme song, that is.

[@GeorgesChannel]

Totally love the whole Series! Two episodes which are my favourites: The "waking-up-the-frozen-Borgs" episode and the "Zombie-Vulcan-Ship" episode! And many other like "E=mc²"...

[@mmadmuor7149]

Back in the days I thought Enterprise to be a big dissapointment, but after season three I fell in love with the series.

[@deletebilderberg]

Superb show, and I bloody love the theme tune. Only thing that bugged me was when they started leaning on TNG and the time travel guff. It was strong enough without any of that.

[@DrGeorgePBurdell-USN1701]

Wish they had been able to do the Romulan War

[@jimjam51075]

Akiva Goldsman has made rumblings about using Enterprise cast on SNW. Another piece of Star Trek he hasn't wiped his...posterior on yet, I guess.

[@Erik_Swiger]

The intro music in seasons 1 & 2 was magical. They ruined it when they changed it.

[@zekelerossignol7590]

Sounds like a time war!

[@baelischthebard682]

I have all four seasons on DVD, never watched the last episode.

[@nealsterling8151]

I really liked Season 3, in a certain sense even more than season 4 to be honest. It was a ongoing quest to a certain goal and a mystery to uncover that made it so adventureous and interesting to me. It's like the series went into adulthood, after the mixed quality season one and two. In some way, i wish they had gone that part even further and had the series detached from the main timelin of Star Trek as we know it. Sure Archer did some questionable decision, which Picard had never made, but he didn't have the experience and luxury to be as morally lofty. I really wish they had seperated both timelines and contined the Enterprise Timeline and give Star Trek a new face. (get rid of the morally "ambiguous" Prime directive. Get rid of Transporter Tech (It kills the user). No Replicator technology (too powerful). Give stellar politics a different dynamic (Maybe no all powerful federation).) I guess the american audience back then only saw the 9/11 connections, while the rest of the world saw a interesting adventure plot. We saw Archer struggle and make hard decisions, which was great and i wish we had seen more like this.

[@cha02psc]

I loved Enterprise the first time around. I didn’t think I was going to, but the first season was, I thought, generally good. The second season not so much. Season 3 was great, but I really have to be in the mood to re-watch it. And (controversial I know) season 4 was where they hit their stride and it’s a crying shame the show was cancelled and we got “tHeSe aRe tHe VoyAgEs” as the finale 🤪 I just wish they’d left the NX-01 out of PIC s3, since they’re clearly in an alternate quantum reality in ENT compared to TOS. The interiors of the ship looked ok but the outside (despite the fact that I like the NX-01 design) never really looked like a retrograde step from the Constitution class to me. Anyway, yes, ENT has always been great (in parts)

[@PA5150]

Have you watched SF Debris’ takes on this season?

[@mmytacist]

how did that kill 7 million people? They missed Miami. Pissed off some 'gators. And cut Cuba in half, but missed Havana.

[@jaxkommish]

I liked Enterprise from the beginning, all the seasons, although the time travelling trope is always once of my least favorite ones. STE did it about as well as could be expected

[@rockys201]

Season 3 was essential viewing for any Star Trek fan. The entire season was about Archer and his crew stopping the Xindi from destroying Earth and you had to stay tuned in from beginning to end

@TheDaveCullenShow >>> 👍👍

[@AmigaWolf]

A pity you forgot the Borg episode (Regeneration), in Star Trek: Enterprise, was a good episode.

[@m_hub3957]

[@Grandtemplar1191]

Almost, season 3 was damn solid, but season 4 was the best season

[@YabusameUK]

Enterprise is still my favourite Trek. I grew up with TOS and TNG aired as a teenager but Enterprise just seemed more raw and consequential. Its been a decade or two since I last watched it but the stealing from an ally episode really stuck with me to this day. I liked the fact that there wasn't always a perfect, moral, solution and Archer sometimes made tough decisions that no other captain seems to have faced. Edit to add - loved the MACOs too.

[@napoleonfeanor]

Sisko also had to do such decisions. Because of the existential threat from the dominion, federation is forced to do desperate things. Section 31 does the most questionable things like genociding the founders and assassinating a romulan upcoming leader in order to get a corrupt one into power who can be controlled but who is outwardly hostile to the federation while the killed obe was for the alliance but Sloan thinks she is too much of a patriot. But also normal federation does questionable things like putting earth under military control to weed out the changelings

[@stephenshelton4267]

Enterprise was a vastly underrated show.

[@Panzer4F2]

As is true of many other shows, largely ignored in their time, that only later gained a following because of their excellent quality. And, yes, I'm thinking of Firefly.

[@kyonsuzumiya445]

[@mikavirtanen7029]

@@kyonsuzumiya445 Yeah, start of the Earth-Romulan war, Shran would have joined the main cast, more Mirror Universe with empress Hoshi Sato and Coto was also really trying to get William Shatner for undisclosed role.

[@davidm4566]

I think the show had actually hit its stride in S4 but was cancelled anyway. TNG, DS9, and Voyager also all hit their strides around S4 so it was a shame. What amazing stories and adventures did we miss out on in those remaining 3 seasons plus possible movies?

[@felipeignacioavilapizarro3698]

I always loved how intimate the show felt, the submarine like interior design, the pioneering spirit, and how in S3 explorers had to become soldiers in an almost kamikaze mission. S4 felt like the starting point for 6 more seasons, such a shame. I still watch it from time to time

[@stevew8513]

I always found Enterprise to be my favorite Star Trek. There's real character evolution happening over the course of those four years - Archer started as a wide-eyed captain, was really turned inside-out by the grueling events of the Xindi story, and by season 4's end he became more hopeful as the local spacefaring races ceased hostility and allied together, effecting real change thanks to him. T'pol's constantly looking down her nose on the human crew at first and loosening up as time goes on, becoming a solid cornerstone of the team, was great to see (although I would have liked her to wear Vulcan robes rather than catsuits). Most of the main cast went through a lot of development (other than poor Mayweather), and Season 3 was a huge contributor of that development. I think one of the greatest robberies foisted upon mankind is the fact that we never saw a Season 5 where Captain Shran joined the crew. Damn, that would have been epic.

[@bensneb360]

Season 3 & 4 of Enterprise are some PEAK Star Trek to me, I love it so much, I wish the show had gotten three more seasons

[@reneelorraine]

Enterprise I just enjoyed, should not have killed off Tripp. Thank you for this post.

[@BerndFelsche]

Tripp was an important character and it spoke loudly to the underlying ethics when he died. He was far from a Red Shirt of TOS so the audience was all the more engaged and distressed. Yes, it really sucks to lose someone with whom an emotional bond has been formed. Even a fictional character. We are strange beings. Fortunately.

[@jporter504]

Because it broke new ground, TOS stands above all the rest. TNG has to be admired if for no other reason it reintroduced a new generation of people to a live action Star Trek series. But to me, the much maligned Star Trek Enterprise is the best of the bunch other than TOS. Maybe it was the writing, or the actors, or a combo of the two.

[@jasonschlierman412]

My favorite Star Trek is TOS and Enterprise. Both have a sense of wonder the 24th century shows lack that I feel is a core part of Star Trek.

[@JanelleWaz]

I do like Seasons 1-2 of Enterprise. They're a little slow at times, but they're not bad. Season 3 was when Enterprise started finding its footing, and by Season 4, the show was very solid with a hybrid serialized/episodic format (ie: standalone two or three parters). It's a shame the show never got a fifth season.

[@mikavirtanen7029]

Every Star Trek show after TOS has been slow at their start, but for some reason only Enterprise gets usually singled out for that.

[@BishopWalters12]

People are pretty tough on Enterprise and Voyager but I'll take the first 2 seasons of those shows over the first 2 seasons of DS9 and especially TNG which starts off really rough.

[@snake56]

The events of this season also had a huge emotional impact on Archer. Exploring the Expanse nearly broke him, as we saw in season 4, where he gets his own version of the TNG episode "Family".

[@HybridMindThoughts]

I just recently, like last night, finished re-watching Enterprise, and it is one of my favorite Star Trek TV shows. It's miles better than Voyager and is true SciFi while being respectful to the established lore while showing the growth of humanity and road to the formation of the federation.

Enterprise has totally grown on me over the years

[@3dtrekker182]

I recently watched the entire series for the first time. I've always been a Star Trek fan but never bothered to pay much attention to this particular series. I've seen all the other Trek shows but just never got around to this one until a few weeks ago. When I finished watching it, I couldn't believe that I overlooked it all these years. I'm 53 and it took me this long to realize that this series is one of my favorites, just behind TNG with my favorite being the original series. After finishing the series, I found a KZbin show called 'Shuttlepod' hosted by Connor Trinear and Dominic Keating from Enterprise and it is very good. They interview members of the show as well as other Star Trek series', as well as interviewing each other. It's definitely worth watching and gives a lot of insight on Enterprise as a series and how they all felt about being part of it. Great video here, Dave! Thank you.

[@richardhalligan7900]

I felt that season 3 was very good. It had the same arc structure as DS9. Plus it felt realistic story telling as the ship stayed damaged throughout multiple episodes unlike in Voyager where there was the reset button at the end of the episode. Just wished Enterprise had more seasons

[@michaelhart2618]

Show really found it’s footing this season, absolutely banger and thought provoking 👍

[@keegobricks9734]

As far as I'm concerned, if ENT had gotten another 1 or 2 seasons of the same quality as 3+4 were, it would have been hands down my favorite star trek series, including the theme song. As it stands, DS9 takes that spot because of how much world building and deep character development it gave us. Special love for TOS though.

[@satsadarkpath2094]

I absolutely love Enterprise! It was disappointing to me when they tweaked the main theme song in the (best season ever) 3rd season because I loved the original opening theme. I honestly don’t know where any of the hate comes in, it’s mama totally underrated and terrific show.

[@martindice5424]

‘Stratagem’ is a brilliant episode. But I remember the original Mission Impossible TV series where they did this sort of stuff quite a lot. Great homage though!

Enterprise seasons 3 and 4 were pretty great!

[@joegee2815]

I loved Enterprise. I've watched the box set at least 3 times including once with the commentary sound tracks. They were really careful about the Trek timeline and even explained why Klingons looked different in TOS. I really appreciated the writing, acting, overall production.

[@mikedignum1868]

It was just getting into the swing of it all when it was canceled. I was hoping for the Romulan war and Enterprise refit.

[@noeticjustice1535]

Because of your reviews, my wife and I decided to give Enterprise a shot recently. We quickly realized two things once season 3 got underway: the writing was much better, and they sucked the life out of an already uninspired theme song.

[@implodinggoat]

Its a damned shame it got cancelled. Enterprise was finally starting to come into its own.

[@rsquared5156]

Another outstanding review Dave. I agree that it's one of the best overall seasons of Trek in general. Very well put together. Writing was sensible, acting was great, pace of the show was on point and the fact that the Enterprise gets an absolute pounding towards the end of the season and keeps on going.

[@SumDumGy]

I maintain Enterprise is the most underrated of all Trek. The entire series gets an annual rewatch by me.

[@DelphicRachel]

Ah yes, season 3 of Enterprise; I'm not going to stop myself from admitting that it was my favourite production of Star Trek - ever. Just clicked with how the writers wrote the story, and the Xindi. Love from the Delphic Expanse, lol

[@knowur10sand18s]

Enterprise is such a great Trek show, I think too many people just had franchise fatigue at this point. The Cogenitor episode not only one of the best ever Trek episodes but is very relevant today. Thanks for helping expose this excellent show to more people!

[@cmedtheuniverseofcmed8775]

I do agree that Season 3 of Enterprise was a bit controversial in being completely serialized. It's more forgivable today because you can just binge-watch it, and even then, it still delivers the story far better when compared to the depressing STD and Picard's "To be continued" franchise. And yes, Season 4 (with the exception of the series finale) is amazing for Enterprise. At least Season 3 of Picard does give a nod that the NX-01 did get its deflector dish.

[@JoshuaKnight]

Season 3 is what hooked me on Enterprise. I went back and did another watch through it maybe 3-4 years ago. There was so much about Enterprise I loved. Trip was my favorite character.

YES Dave! Enterprise Season 3 is one of the best things about all of Star Trek! Stratagem and Azati Prime are amongst my favourite episodes. Serialisation done right. Although it would’ve made more sense that the initial attack was a failed one…

Once upon a time, being the IP holder gave absolute power over a franchise. That day is done. If the IP holder insists on not bringing out new content or bringing out garbage content, we can now make our own. I invite all my fellow Trekkers to enjoy another unauthorized novel completely free. Just google Star Trek Lost Destiny Race.

I pretty much agree with everything you said. This season is my favorite. Ive never seen Archer so intense…almost desperate. Enterprise when it first aired was vanilla to me. So-so. Didn’t make it to 7 seasons. After viewing a bit of Discovery, Picard seasons1 and 2, and now SNW, the bar is so low now, that Enterprise looks like a fantastic show compared to them. Its kinda my new favorite. Its better than I remember, and its because of season 3 that I got back into it.

Trip and T-pol and Archer are the heart of the show, with Phlox there also for good support. The other 2 main characters also had their moments. Definitely worth watching again! I did, last year!

despite missing that je ne sais quoi from previous series, and having a shitty finale, and too much relying on xindi not much else, it was Trek through and through unlike the woke garbage of nowadays

While it has its problems, I love Enterprise and in particular season 3. Some great Star Trek episodes in there. It has been a while since I rewatched them, might be time to go back for a look, and maybe share them with my teenage boys

[@Huron-ds4lj]

Season 3 of Enterprise definitely reset the shows tone and I personally go back and forth with weather I like it or not. I wished they would have introduced the Xindi like DS9 introduced the Dominion, subtly and ominously. But sadly such things are rare with all shows these days, Discovery very much included. Thanks for the review!

I purchased the Enterprise box set because of your videos on the show. Now it's a matter of finding time to watch them.

[@PudgeDredd]

Enterprise wasn't perfect but it' is without a doubt the last time Star Trek was Star Trek.

[@robertvoelker4490]

Star Trek Enterprise was the last real Star Trek. Rest in peace Enterprise, we hardly new you.

[@claudeyaz]

I am almost convinced that the writers just wanted to bomb Florida

[@jeffsnyder7290]

I think if Enterprise had been given a few more seasons it would go down as the finest St of them all.

[@ChrisBrown-jp1hi]

Thanks for recognizing the genius that is Enterprise Season 3!
