Best season 6 of all the series

Enterprise. Season six (last year) was fucking amazing!





what?

What indeed. Outside of the occasional bright spot (like Peter David's hilarious "No, Let THAT Be Your Last Battlefield!") season six was pretty lackluster.

The three-way split focus was such a transparent attempt to ape Lost, and it was dramatically ineffective; while it was fun to see Trip command the ship, we all knew Archer wasn't going to stay at Starfleet Command and T'Pol was going to get out of the Dominion slave camp.

And that's another thing: for all the DS9 porn there was across the season, it was handled in such an arrogant, off-handed fashion (What were we supposed to think when the Bajoran wormhole collapsed)? I'm not even going to get into the guest appearances from the America's Next Top Model contestants and the inexplicable decision to spend three goddamn episodes on Betazed's induction into the Federation...
That damn Betazed arc was all Majel Roddenberry's fault. Manny Coto and J. Michael Strazyncski were contractually obligated to include her as a character in the show for 3 episodes. Therefore, we got Lwaxanaxawaxaya whateverthefuckherlastnamewas as ruler of Betazed. I admit, I did like the Jack The Ripper episode - whoda thunk he was a Prophet?
