Can you rate these eps for me

[Luckyflux]

Hi,

I set my DVR to record all Star Trek shows that come on TV. I am not that familiar with Enterprise, so I was hoping you can rate these episodes and tell me if they are good, bad or ugly.

Babel One
Observer Effect
Proving Ground
Chosen Realm
Carpenter St
Similitude
North Star
Twilight

Along related lines, I know trek core has a synopsis of each episode, but is there a fan type rating system (maybe like a Rotton Tomatoes type meter) for each ep? That would help to determine which eps are worth seeing, but I guess everyone's opinion is subjective so that would be tough.

* ugly
** bad
*** good
**** great


Babel One ****
Observer Effect ****
Proving Ground ****
Chosen Realm *
Carpenter Street **1/2
Similitude *****
Twilight *****
North Star *** (but it's an odd placement for a filler episode that adds nothing to the arc when time is of the essence)

Skip Chosen Realm, enjoy the rest. I put Chosen Realm in my worst 5 episodes off all 4 seasons of Enterprise.

 

[SRFX]

If we're going by the four star system:

Babel One ****
Observer Effect ***
Proving Ground ****
Chosen Realm *
Carpenter St ***
Similitude ****
North Star ***
Twilight ****

Actually, I cheated. I gave Similitude and Twilight 5 stars.

 

[Hoshi's sis]

I would rate them as follows

Babel One ***
Observer Effect ****
Proving Ground ***
Chosen Realm *
Carpenter St *
Similitude ****
North Star **
Twilight **

 

[Middleman]

Babel One ***
Observer Effect ****
Proving Ground ***
Chosen Realm *
Carpenter St **
Similitude ****
North Star ***
Twilight 0* (Fugly)

 

[Admiral Shran]

* ugly
** bad
*** good
**** great
***** must see

Babel One *****
Observer Effect ***
Proving Ground ****
Chosen Realm *
Carpenter St ***
Similitude ***
North Star **
Twilight ****

 

[TripTucker19]

Out of five stars, I would say:

Babel One:****
Observer Effect:*****
Proving Ground:***
Chosen Realm:-*
Carpenter Street:***
Similitude:*****
North Star:**
Twilight:****
(I know negative one is how bad it is)

Another thing to consider is that Babel One is the first part of a three parter and Proving Ground/Chosen Realm/Carpenter Street/Similitude/Twilight all take place during a season long mission story-arc so you might be a little lost.

No matter now, I was so psyched to see these episodes since many people gave them such high marks....then when I got home and finally sat down to enjoy some Trek, it turns out the GF needed to make room on the DVR for some of her shows, so she promptly deleted all of those episodes.....The only one I saw was Babel One, which I really liked.

OMG, that is so bad.

I don't suppose you could turn to Netflix?
If not, you might check out the SciFi channel's schedule.

 

[Luckyflux]

Maybe Netflix? That could work.

I'll probably just wait for them on Sci Fi channel, too bad cause I was looking forward to seeing some good Enterprise episodes, since I missed all of it during it's first run.

At least you got to watch one of the very best the series had to offer.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

Not a bad list. My ratings out of 5

Babel One - 4
Observer Effect - 3.5
Proving Ground - 3.5
Chosen Realm - 2
Carpenter St - 1
Similitude -4
North Star - 3
Twilight - 5

While not entirely standalone, I think the episodes work with maybe only the briefest of background summaries. Babel One is only part one of three, though.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

The episodes you asked about are a moot point now , but I'll weigh in anyway, for your future reference. On a 5-star scale:

Babel One ****
Observer Effect *****
Proving Ground ****
Chosen Realm **
Carpenter St ***
Similitude *****
North Star ****
Twilight *****

I also suggest that you watch the entire series, Luckyflux, and resist the idea of skipping the ones that you've heard are not good. There are many episodes that regularly make "best of" and "worst of" lists around here. Personally, I have found something to enjoy about every episode.

With that in mind, I shall be a stinker and weigh in on a few of JiNX's ratings, while trying not to give anything away...

Rogue Planet *

But... Eric Pierpoint!

Oasis *

And Rene Auberjoinois! Wearing his own face!

A Night in Sickbay

Conspicuous absence of rating, eh? For me, this is one of the episodes I really enjoyed.

The Seventh *

I liked this one, too. Mayweather leaves the ship. And he has dialogue and everything! Plus, there's Bruce Davison.

Precious Cargo *

Forget about whether you're a Trip fan, or whether the girl is worth slavering over. There's that great scene with "interrogator" T'Pol.

Extinction *

I thought it was an interesting morality play type episode with some poignant moments. Plus, there's T'Pol in her white catsuit. And the peaches scene, awww.

Rajiin *

Whatever you may think of the plot-- I got into it, so I liked it-- there's a scene with Trip and T'Pol at the beginning that I think is lovely.

Chosen Realm *

"Don't feed him cheese." That whole sequence was fun.

Doctor's Orders *

There is something to be said for the T'Pol/Phlox scene in engineering. And the Porthos face-time. Plus, beautiful cinematography in this one. The tech work for this show was first-rate.

Daedaleus (none)

More great cinematography. And I liked the Archer/Danica scenes.


I hope you enjoy the show! Let us know what you think when you are able to watch it.

"RAJIIN" deserves a far better rating than one (*) star!
