I loved Enterprise. People say it’s not different enough, but it actually is! It was a prequel, it explored the birth of the federation and alien races that were largely forgotten in later series (i.e. Andorians). It really picked up in later series and could have actually shown us the refit NX-01as well as the moment that possibly Archer, T’Pol, Shran and a Tellarite writing the Federation charter. It respects the canon and frankly, it’s better than Discovery! It had the potential to be incredible and was just picking up...

All of the above, as well as more in depth looks into the Andorian Mining Consortium. People hate on Enterprise but I loved it too. It's not the best Trek, but it did good at what it had. It also had to deal with Aliens and Technology that was reminiscent of Trek, while being vaguely new. Klingons still bug me, I wish they were shown to be a little more like TOS era. Like if they were shown as like Second class citizens in the Klingon homeworld due to weak genetics that spread to higher clans, as well as showing they were limited to like the Klingon Defence Force and kept away from major Battles. But anyway, good show, poor timing with the Network

Enterprise was a good show in retrospect. I think what killed it wasn't entirely the prequel idea, but rather a host of issues: a bit of franchise fatigue, the fact that it wanted to mirror the Next Generation instead of trying to be a unique series, being on a failing network (UPN as a whole had low ratings) and competition (and no, not Battlestar, but Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis, both of which became the first sci-fi shows to pass a Star Trek show in ratings ever. Their ratings were also much higher than BSG's). That's why when they changed up the format in the forth season, the ratings actually started to recover, but by that time Paramount was set to can UPN, and all of its content. According to an interview with the creative team, there must have been talk about a fifth season because they actually pitched the idea of the Romulan War. Its just that the CW, UPN's replacement went more Vampire stories than space opera and Sci-fi didn't pick it up.

Berman and Braga by this time have given up, so we start getting better stories. Then Manny Coto made Season 4 the realization of the concept of a prequel series. Now we were getting stories that dealt with elements of TOS. Then this great man, this would be savior of Enterprise, the creator of the great Odyssey 5....he goes on to be partially responsible for the worst seasons of 24 and Dexter ever made.

NX designation was for non-commissioned ships (experimental or pre shake down cruise) NCC was for commissioned ships, so the Excelsior eventually ended up with an NCC-2000

What killed Enterprise for me was the lack of focus in the seasons, I mean hell, a prequel of Star Trek where humanity is finally getting to explore space the way the want has almost zero first contact missions or diplomatic missions. Instead they focus on this BS "Temporal Cold War" Rule of Thumb: Don't start your show off with time travel UNLESS it's a show about time travel. I would have liked to see more of the Klingons, Romulans and Andorians in season one, maybe save that time shit for seasons 3 or 4 when they were REALLY struggling. I think, in retrospect, DS9 had one of the more compelling series arcs: Cardassians, Maquis, Dominion and then out. The story flowed so much better when there was a central threat that was recognizable. No one knew what the Xindi were, no one gave a shit about the Suliban. We knew the Cardassians from TNG, we got to know the Maquis because they were set up through the story and fleshed out in Voyager even more. The Dominion were kind of a "oh shit somethings out there" since season 2. Enterprise seemed like shit just got poured out all at once in one or two episodes then they had a few monster of the week episodes, then the finale. Just to clarify, IT WAS NOT A BAD SHOW, it just suffered from lack of focus and some poor writing. Also, RoboCop is kind of a dick in the Star Trek Universe.

Diving head first into Menchura class planets only to get poisoned by the local flora. Losing highly advanced technology on primitive worlds and almost starting planetary wide conflicts. But here's the thing... the crew learned, and got smarter, and in some cases very paranoid. They were all flawed people, some worked through their issues, some even got arguably worse. Time travel as an indicator of poor writing, is a tired trope. It can be handled really well, it can be handled poorly. How well you think Enterprise handled it is really up to you. I think the Dominion wars were okay in concept... but I think they wasted a lot of potential on having the Dominion basically rely on drug addicted super soldiers. They are species of shape shifters that could infiltrate any galactic power's executive functions and be nigh on undetectable. Especially if they don't reveal themselves as such. They could have been far more dangerous and chaotic if they got all the major powers to go to war on each other instead. I mean they tried a little but it was mostly out in the open, instead of being all Machiavellian.

If you try to actually quantify it, 75 thousand Starfleet capital ships is actually a pretty low number in the grand scheme of things. There are between 100 and 400 billion stars in the Milky Way. There are a variety of ships Starfleet needs to keep its scheme going. Even if you want to say that there are no military ships they need a lot of ships to keep the Federation going. Diplomatic ships, Science vessels, scouting vessels, repair ships, cargo vessels, colony vessels, Private ships, and more (I added more because combat vessels are not official for a while). If it takes 6 years to design and build a ship and for that number to make sense it would mean that some 600+ ships would have to be built, even that can make sense if you think about it. How many starship wharfs are under Starfleet control. If you think about all the member planets then having enough wharfs to have 3600 capital ships being built all year among thousands of planets is not an impossibility. I personally think the low number of ships is to help keep things in perspective, especially when you think that it could be appropriate to say "The number of capital ships in all of Starfleet matches the human population at the end of the 20th century."

When the registry NCC-1701 was made, the explanation was it was the 17th class of Federation starships, and the 1st of that class. By that logic, the Intrepid-class was the 746th class, which seems like a huge amount. Voyager would be the 56th Intrepid-class, which doesn't add up at all given how new the class was.

By the previously mentioned logic also other Enterprise ships shouldn't have NCC 1701 and a letter, instead increasing the 01 at the end, like the 1701A should be 1702, unless it's a refit of the original, which it surely isn't, since it's a different class. It's ok to bear the name Enterprise, but inherit the registry number with it and only a letter added seems pretty off, if you ask me.

I think Rick Berman is ultimately responsible for the show being cancelled. I had no real problem with Backula does not bother me at all really. Franchise fatigue is also a issue. If they had waited at least 5 years I think it would have been great. When Enterprise was announced I immediately thought "So soon?"" I'm a BIG Star Trek fan too. The interior only bothered me a little. I accept that you can't make the ship look that much more primitive that the TOS series (the captains chair was made of ply wood). I did have a problem with the concept of the tech being used so early. The transporters seemed to operate better than TOS. Imo they should not have had transporters at all. Phase pistols and photonic torpedoes were both cop outs to bad writing imo. The earlier pulse weapons and missiles made more sense in that era. Don't get me started on Romulan tech. Why did they have early phasers in that era while a century later they were using lasers and laser cannons (The Cage). Hmmm. Don't get me wrong I don't hate the show and did have some good episodes but a lot of things could have done better. With me it kind of a love hate thing when it comes to this show.

A few things in case it wasn't mentioned: 1. X designation is from the military and stands for experimental. So, the NX-01 was following that type of registration. 2. The ships were named after the Space Shuttles and in order of their naming. Columbia was bumped up in the list due to the Columbia disaster in 2003 and they did it to honor those who died. (So, no, the Prime Directive wasn't violated.) 3. A lot information from First Flight about the NX program would have been worth bringing up in this episode, especially with future Captain Jonathan Archer being part of the test pilot team along with Lt. Cmdr Trip Tucker figuring out the intermix that would allow them to crack the Warp 2.5 barrier. 4. The Vulcans held the NX program back so that's why it took us almost a century to go from Warp 1 to Warp 5. As for what killed the series - poor writing and an uneven tone. It also suffered from fans whining about the opening song (which I happened to love and feel inspired by). The show really hit its stride in Season 4 and that's how it should have gone into Season 3 - not with the Xindi arc. I know they wanted the crew to go into some situation where their morals were questioned and they had to things to add drama, but most of Season 3 isn't worth watching. They could have achieved the same drama with different situations and not always doing a wink to the audience about "this is where the Prime Directive comes from." Also, the Temporal Cold War was foggy at best and not well thought out. (I am happy Star Trek Online explained and fleshed this out in their story line).

+Chris Oliver DS9 was my favorite man! I like the whole "meet a new species and overcome an obstacle in every episode" of other Star Treks, but it was nice having a solid, continuous story line about war, death, betrayal and "life on the fringe".

This enterprise is my favourite. Just give it a better warp core and shields, best ship by far. So cool looking

"But like this transporter, took a few years to work out the bugs!". Awesome reference pun to The Fly.

Really like ur Star Trek stuff - hope there is more to come....

I thought the series enterprise was...okay, but the main positive aspect was the NX-01 enterprise, one of my favorite starships, due to the unique design and the nostalgic feeling you get when realising the fact that it was what inspired the enterprises which we all actually like! uss enterprise E for the win!

I actually enjoyed the first two seasons. It's a prequel so, their first few encounters would've been fairly simple. It had a little bit of everything from a simple road trip on an Earth-like planet that turned out to be a hallucinogenic trip to battling the Klingons and Romulans. The Xindi storyline was just too hasty and in your face desperation.

I don’t know what your talking about. Archer was an EXPLORER in those seasons, which was what he wanted to be. In the 3rd season he had to be a tough captain, who had to commit numerous war crimes, for the greater good, that destroyed who he was, and what he believed in. It was written well, and very good, but it’s not like he was a “Wuss” in the first 2 seasons

For it's time though, especially post xindi, it was a pretty capable vessel but it was always the underdog.

As someone that grew up watching TNG, DS9 and voyager I skipped enterprise in 2001. I was going through university and just didn't have time. I'm currently binge watching Enterprise on netflix now and I really really like it, as a matter of fact the episode where trip gets cloned is one of my all time favorite star trek episodes. To answer your question though; I don't know why I didn't watch enterprise at the time; maybe 9/11 had something to do with it? the internet was also taking off at the time too; there were a lot of time consuming games that nerds like myself were playing at that time as well. I don't really know why enterprise wasn't popular but I actually really like it so far (I'm almost done season 3 at the time of writing this).

I don't agree. The Xindi Arc is when Enterprise actually got good. Season 1 and 2 were extremely weak. The Xindi Arc gave the show purpose. In an idealistic world, the best episodes of seasons 1 and 2 should be combined together, tossing out all the utter crap, then season 2 be the Xindi arc, season 3 being what we got as season 4, and then a final season 4 doing all the stuff that was left on the table. Television is relentless and unforgiving. Many great shows don't last more than one season (I'm looking at you, Defying Gravity) yet Enterise got three seasons to figure its shit out. I do understand that some people thought the Xindi arc was too long, but it was really needed to make the show about something like DS9 was about the Dominion War, and Voyager was about getting home. Before Xindi, Enterprise was just about uhhh being a Star Trek prequel. That's it.

I actually thought the Xindi story arc added a sort of purpose to the show before they where just bumbling around getting into and out of trouble, now they had a mission, it gave the show direction, the problem was they stretched it out to far and that resulted in tons of filler episodes to make it last the whole season, it was at most a half season story line worth of content.

@Snotnarok

Isn't that the idea of Star Trek and the Enterprise? To bumble around and explore? Discover new things and find things while dealing with the consequences? The Xindi thing was a goofy War that pinned the focus on humanity and Earth vs what Star Trek should be about, new strange worlds. The early seasons were immensely interesting as they not only were finding new interesting things in space, the ship itself was new and interesting. Transporters were intimidating & scary, phasers weren't even online and the ship was meshing new species...lightly. To me, Star Trek should be far, far away from Earth, exploring and dealing with situations with diplomacy and firing only when that fails.

@fabianfeilcke7220

7 жыл бұрын

Actually i think they didn't stretch the story arc far enough. More or less the entire Season 3 was "We are in deep shit". They should have done it like in DS9 with the dominion. Introduce the Xindi slowly as a mysterious background force. Then bumble around in more light hearted way for the rest of the season. Then in the next Season BAM, wipe out Florida, spend a few episodes on figuring out that it was the Xindi and bring the story arc to a conclusion within 3-4 Episodes. Then you have 4-5 Episodes left to start the next cliffhanger-plot..

Can I pick "all of the above." Actually, I like Scott Bakula. He was just wrong for the role. He was a little too... nice... for a military captain. It would have been better if they went for a military hard ass who had a character arc that turned him into an explorer, than the other way around. Rick Berman and the way they made the ship (seemingly more advanced than TOS) were the big killers. Fatigue didn't help, but if the show tried to be different instead of more of the same, things would have been fine.

I didn't mind Season 3. As others have commented, it gave the show direction. Viewers are used to story arc TV series these days, and the old-fashioned style of show, where all of the episodes are discrete stories, with essentially no tie-in to other episodes just isn't as appealing to viewers anymore. I've come to prefer the story arc style myself. That said, the Xindi were pretty hokey as villians, and point to something that had become a major flaw with all of Star Trek: there are just way the hell too damn many alien species in the Federation's part of the galaxy and ALL of them look like human beings with weird protuberances on their foreheads. The problem this causes is you see them, and then you never see them again. Remember the Zakdorn from the TNG episode "Peak Performance"? They were supposed to be a race of tactical and strategic geniuses. Sure would have been useful to have some of those around during the Borg and Dominion wars, but they are conspicuous by their absence. The Xindi are an advanced alien species with technology ahead of Earth's in the 22nd century, who supposedly eventually joined the Federation. And we never even heard of them through all of TNG, DS9, or Voyager. Blame Berman and Braga. They were the primary showrunners for most of Star Trek since late in TNG's run, and they populated the alpha quadrant with a zillion aliens of the week, among their many, many other sins. With Enterprise, they also pissed all over the TOS continuity, because they never particularly liked TOS and refused to be constrained by its continuity. By contrast, with Enterprise's 4th season, when Manny Coto, a true fan of TOS took over creative control, the show got really good, and actively tried to tie into TOS continuity and mesh with it. I may be wrong, but I don't recall any new alien of the week species being introduced that season either. If Coto had been running things from the start, I suspect Enterprise might have made it 7 seasons like its predecessors did.

The only , ONLY, person that killed Enterprise was Les Mooves. When he bought UPN, and Enterprise, he wanted to make changes. Putting warp nacelles on DS9, having Jolene remove her pointed ears because "shes so much cuter without them" and having a band play every week in the Enterprise mess hall. Berman just threw them in the trash. Mooves didnt get what he wanted so he cancelled the show...hired a bunch of "yes" men and came out with Discovery. Not the ratings, not the fans, not the sponsors, just one spoiled brat of a man who just didnt get his way. Read about in "Star Trek: The Fifty Year Mission" book 2.

Waste processing was what Berman and Braga used to produce scripts for this show it seems. Berman should never have been involved in writing. Especially after insurrection. Braga should have kept a good relationship with Ron Moore during the voyager years and kept him onboard. BSG showed how totally awesome Voyager and Enterprise could have been. Both shows failed to reach their potential. Yes, Scott Backula was awful. He conveyed not authority as captain and was just as hammy as Shatner sometimes, but at least he had authority in the role. But fundamentally the character of Archer too was an idiot. Small minded, ignorant, self righteous, unbelievably stupid and a proponent of genocide. This is a man who was a trained diplomat (apparently) and thought it was a good idea to bring his dog to a crucial diplomatic meeting, and then gets angry at the aliens when the dog offends them. I mean please! Seriously?? Also the scripts relied too much on the incompetence of the crew to advance plots and create drama in the scripts. Epic fail.

my favorite ship and star trek series

Got to laugh at comments talking about "bad writing". Guys, Star Trek has NEVER been Shakespeare, it has always had campy bad writing. Yet people like it which is all that matters. I'm watching this series for the first time now and I'm really enjoying it because I'm not expecting it to be Shakespeare. It is what it is, just enjoy it as some light entertainment. P.S. I actually love this version of the ship, if it was a car it would be a 1990's Toyota - reliable, efficient, tough, and not enough safety features😂

Just started binge watching it. Not being a huge Star Trek fan I am enjoying it. And dare I say the NX01 is beautiful. Prefer it to any of the others.

The "toilet" remix was CLASSIC!

Your intros never disappoint

NCC = Naval Construction Contract is what i believe it stands for. And For Voyager its possible that 74656 Seeing as starfleet started with NX-01 which was between 2152-2155. Were Voyager was Commissioned around 2370 a good 218 years later. So its possible that many ships have been built for Starfleet. NX is used for Prototypes. NX-2000 USS Excelsior is the first Excelsior class ship and is a prototype. Same with the defiant NX-74205.

Junkball you should have dubbed over Bakula's bit 'Here we are again' to 'Oh Boy' from one of his Quantum Leap episodes. That would have been daring!

I would've LOVED to see that refit where they put that extra engineering bit on the bottom.
