I’ve always liked Enterprise. Not perfect by any means, but I thought they did a good job overall of capturing the feel of early space exploration in the Star Trek universe. Underpowered, outgunned, no rules…they had to invent the concept of a red alert at one point.
They did almost lose me at the start of season 4. After the Xindi arc in season 3, they had those two episodes where it looked like another long story was being set up, and I was like, OH NO, I can’t commit to this. In fact, I didn’t watch them in their entirety until much more recently.
Of course, now, practically everything outside SNW is one storyline…but the seasons have far fewer episodes.

It’s not a problem anymore, because you don’t need to catch every single episode on the day and time your local TV would care to show them, if they cared enough to show them all and in order.
Now you can just go to Netflix and watch seasons 3 and 7 of a new show on any time you wish.
But seasons 1,2, and 4-6 won’t be on there until six months from now, and the subscription price will raise again, and you have to cope with the fact that episodes of certain seasons will just be missing because they don’t feel like it agrees with their company beliefs.
Yeah, but there are times when I just want a monster-of-the-week episode…I get tired of the longer storylines sometimes. And you can’t just go back and watch one of them and have it make sense.
I liked it because it wasn’t perfect. They were a bunch of goofs trying to figure it out. They weren’t loose with the rules because there were no rules— they just did the best that they could.
A lot of the writing was a bit rough, though. And that theme song was unforgivable.

Oh, it’s not one long story after? I stopped watching when they came back to that whole nazi thing on earth.
Yeah, it’s just the two episodes. Which were actually not bad episodes.
You missed Dr. Soong and the augments! A very good couple episodes
No, season 4 has a few multi episode arcs, but the Nazi thing is just 2.
I’m watching Enterprise for the first time now (s3) and this Xindi arc is… Something… Just not enjoyable for me.
