I am a big Star Trek fan and watched all series and movies and read also a lot of books. ENT is clearly the worst Star Trek series but however there are some good episodes in the first two seasons.
It is the first season of ENT with Star Trek in the title but this season is a betrayal of Star Trek. Capt. Archer tortures a prisoner, steal a Warpcore from friendly Aliens and did a pre-emptive strike against other Aliens. This is not Star Trek!!!
Therefore spend your money and your time for TOS, TNG, DS9 or VOY but not for this scrap.

Enterprise is like the cousin nobody likes, until you get to know him/her. It's a consistantly well-written show with characters you actually get to know and care about; unlike Voyager which had none of those traits all seven of its seasons versus four with Enterprise. Season Three involves the Xindi arc, lasting the entire season, and it was a pretty good idea that pays off for the show, until of course it gets cancelled after the next one.

In my opinion Enterprise is the best and most engaging of all the Star Trek series but season three is it's masterpiece.
To fully appreciate season three the first two seasons should be watched first in it's natural order. Most fascinating was watching Capt. Archer (Scott Bakula) evolve from the naive explorer to hard core warrior who willstop at nothing to achieve his mission however just as he is on the brink of losing his soul he retreats as the series comes to a finish. The cast is brilliant but Bakula's performance really stands out.
It is truly sad that this series was cancelled as I totally enjoy the tying of lose ends between all Star Trek franchises and learning the origins of previous series episodes. Much Star Trek canon is validated in this series. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Season 2: Once again I couldn't stop watching til I finished, and I'm eagerly waiting for season 3 to arive in the mial. At times the story lines seem repetitive but ultimitaly the charactors keep me thoroughly entertained and hooked. Scott Bakula is a fantastic captian! I highly recommend this series.

I stumbled upon the original Star Trek series as a kid in it's initial run in 1966. The episode was "Devil In The Dark". A story about silicon based beings, and learning to appreciate and cohabitate with them. I've since seen every episode of every Star Trek incarnation, most of them multiple times. The point is, I have some credentials.
What made Star Trek soar, was that it was a show of IDEAS. And it was pretty much the first sci-fi space show where the aliens didn't come out blasting, in a bid to exterminate humanity for whatever fear-based goofy reason. People who were tired of the old warn out themes of good guys vrs bad guys, now had a place to turn. Gene Roddenberry was a thoughtful visionary, who humbly loved the fans, and genuinely believed in Star Trek, and the better angels of humanities hopes and dreams that it represented. He was hands on through every episode of the original Star Trek, and Next Generation. And he brought in a variety of top notch writers with great ideas.
When Gene became ill, Rick Berman took over. Gene never liked Rick due to his arrogange, and incredible disdain for the fans. Rick never shared in Gene's vision, and treated the audience as simpletons and sheep, churning out half-hearted off-handed scripts. After Gene died, Rick became increasingly disrespectful of the Trek tenets.
With Enterprise, Star Trek became yet another two-dimensional comic book good guys vrs bad guys show. Nowhere was this more evident, than with the Xindi saga. Ideas took a back seat. Further, imagination was undercut with the whole premise of Enterprise. With space exploration, people want to explore the frontiers, not go way back in time to the beginning. Who wrote Enterprise? Rick Berman, and his right hand yes-man Brannon Braga. Only at the end, with the shows ratings sinking like a stone, did they bring in some talent. Too little, too late.
I love Star Trek, but putting bias aside, and taking off the rose colored glasses, Enterprise was a bad show that sullied the great Star Trek name, and for the most part, you can pin that squarely on Rick Berman. I thank the lord he had nothing to do with the new Star Trek movie. Memorable quote. Rick and Gene are walking across the Paramount lot, and Rick says pompously waving his hand "See all these people, they all work for ME". And Gene replied "Funny, they all worked WITH me".
May a new series return, at the farthest edges of the future, with ideas not yet explored.
