Season 2 improved naturally. As before in many shows the actors and directors know better how to use the characters, get the interactions right and know what works and what to avoid. The response from fans also helps. Season 1 main problem was that there were not enough excellent episodesSeason 2 improved naturally. As before in many shows the actors and directors know better how to use the characters, get the interactions right and know what works and what to avoid. The response from fans also helps. Season 1 main problem was that there were not enough excellent episodes and too much average ones. Season 2 improves a lot and there are many of my favorites but I must also admit that it has also a few unremarkable episodes with some I had forgotten. There are also continuity problems with the episode “Regeneration”. It is the ultimate dividing episode. It is excellent but also something that should not be done as it is destroying continuity and the menace is brain dead stupid. They could have easily won and there is nothing the good guys could do against it. When they would noticed the menace it would be far to late to do anything. Think of the immense advantages the menace had (I am vague because of spoilers) and what humanity would do to be ready for a thread like this with this knowledge (= New timeline / continuity). Overall this season has proven the value of the show for me. It improves a lot and has many recommendations. My recommendations are: “Shockwave part 2” for the continuation of the season 2 final episode. It delivers with a good story and conclusion. “Carbon Creek” for the interesting story told by T’Pol and the mystery what parts were true. Has immersion and works well. One of the best episodes of the show. “Dead Stop” I cant tell anything as any description is either too vague or too far in spoiler territory. Would like to see a continuation as its story and concept / idea had great potential. “Marauders” for it is magnificent ;-). Bad pun but you will know what I am aiming at. “The Communicator” for this whole serious situation and conclusion. A small mistake leads to this entertaining mess. One of my favorite episodes and you should wear tin foil heads for this episode;-). “The Catwalk” for the concept, threat, and twists. Another easy favorite. I am divided with “Stigma”. It is a great episode but it makes me uncomfortable and it should be this way. “Cease Fire” for the continuation of the Vulcans and Andorians conflicts, motives and resolve. “Future Tense” has excellent concept, twists and cat and mouse games as the story progresses. The conclusion is excellent but slightly misses the downer ending trope for me (= Could be a disappointment for others). Again I am divided by “The Crossing” which I like in general but also see as disappointment and missed opportunity to get an even better story. “The Breach” for Dr. Plox and the compelling moral dilemma. A lot to learn for real live and this makes it a remarkable episode for the whole show. “Regeneration” is great but also a failure continuation and storywise as described above. “First Flight” is an excellent flashback story and I think it has a great story, character interactions and a conclusion that delivers. Again one of my favorites. “The Expanse” starts the overarching story arc for season 3. It hits hard and is a game changer as a new unseen menace emerges and even a dire former enemy helps Archer out.… Expand

A very big disappointment, but not for the reasons I had ignored watching it the first time around.

Enterprise has good actors, and the occasional great performance, especially from my favorite, Jeffrey Coombs who played the Andorian Shran with an occasional recurrent role). The sets IA very big disappointment, but not for the reasons I had ignored watching it the first time around.

Enterprise has good actors, and the occasional great performance, especially from my favorite, Jeffrey Coombs who played the Andorian Shran with an occasional recurrent role). The sets I thought were great, along with the costuming for everyone except T'Pol (which this comes into the problems I have).

The problem comes down to the writing. It is the laziest, sexist, unimaginative writing that I have seen in the Star Trek universe, overall more so then even the first season of ST:NG. The number of rape/assaults that occurred randomly on the show (mostly using mind-melds as the stand in) were fairly common. They even had T'Pol who seems to be the constant recipient of this do it back to someone else. That bothered me a lot.

Then we get into the sexist treatment of T'Pol in general, constant forcing her into those situations, combined with that stupid body fitting outfit she wore, instead of the normal uniform. The ramrod writing of trying to shoehorn her into scenes such as the decon room where they have her sweating and posing sexually while waiting for the decontamination happens.

I also need to point out that there were very few original ideas in the series as well. Instead of taking this opportunity to maybe do something more gritty (maybe on a Babylon 5 level) they instead reworked a lot of episodes (well sometimes not even reworking) from the original series. They also tended to not tell stories linearly, instead starting from the end and going back which is not their strength (stay in your lane).

In addition there was no actual character progression, any progress in a character that was learned in a story disappeared within two more episodes. Not even counting the fact that the behavior of the characters would sometimes be 180 degrees from what they said in other episodes. I wonder if they even had a plot bible, which is a book or data store that records all the personality traits of each character and things that happen to change them, this way multiple writers have the same base character for each of their stories and it allows them to slowly change a character.

Overall the sad writing is what made this show sink for me. I can't blame the actors at all, they did what they could. It was a chore to finish Season 4.

Pros: The actors worked hard on this and did make it more watchable (especially Jeffrey Coombs).

Cons: The writing was a mess, no permanent progression, no real original ideas, just rehashing old subjects.… Expand
