This is a highly underrated member of the Star Trek franchise! I personally rate this as a tie for 2nd place behind Next Generation (and tied with Voyager).

Do yourself a favor and just tune out the last four episodes - especially the last one. And skip that horrible hippy folk music theme song that should never have been recorded, let alone put on a Star Trek show.

I think casting Scott Bakula as Archer was a mistake, he's such a terrible actor - but he's likable enough in this show to see around it.

[spoiler]I think the main problem with Enterprise is what has also plagued other Star Trek shows (but to a much lesser degree than Enterprise) is the silly and constant time traveling junk. Some of it is entertaining, but most of the time travel episodes are corny and formulaic. [/spoiler]

Star Trek always tries to bring the era that the show was made into the show itself and I've always found that silly. Every Star Trek has romantic references to 20th century pop culture (just how many pop culture references to the 1700's do YOU make?) and this show takes it a lot further with "Movie Night". I mean, come on already. That is like me talking about a play in 1705 fondly and naming the cast of it (hint: I can't).
