Do you like ENT or not,why?

To answer the OP, I grew up watching it (I was alive but too young for TNG, DS9 & VOY) so I enjoyed it then, but I look back now and see it has plenty of faults. I don't hate it though (nor do I fall into the trap of lionizing it now after harshly hating it then)

Coward :P

Nostalgia blinds me a lot of time when it comes to Enterprise, being my first Star Trek, and the whole time period being exciting, but I admit Im far more forgiving of it because of how harshly the anti-ENT crowd was and is.
 
On the whole, I really like Enterprise. I remember the anticipation of each new episode before it aired here in the UK, and even if I didn't particularly enjoy it, I still looked forward to the next episode. T'Pol, Phlox, Hoshi and Trip (:drool: :luvlove:) are my favourite characters - and Porthos, of course! - and I much preferred the little character bits and "normal" shipboard life stuff to the Zap! Pow! Blammo! storylines (season 3 was not my cup of tea). It's for this reason that "Precious Cargo" is one of my most rewatched episodes :adore:
 
I love it, always have, and haven't watched it in a while
So I'm at the "missing it" stage
I'll have to start from scratch again soon
I've never understood the antipathy towards it, even on this specific forum
There are good, great and not so good episodes in ENT the same as every incarnation of Trek, it's just the way it is
 
I'm surprise ENT hasn't received the SW prequel treatment yet
I mean, they could very easily. Use Zefram Cochrane as one character, and Archer's dad, as well as all the Earth politics of building up a new space force program post First Contact.
 
I liked the first season, lost some interest in season 2, missed a lot of episodes of season 3 due to circumstances, but started to love the show with the episode Home. The last scene of Terra Prime was heartwrenching and close to home and I find it better for my sanity to pretend TATV never happened.
And now it's my favorite show.
 
I more meant fans just pretending it's now good when they hated it before just because they hate the new stuff whether that's good or not
Oh, it definitely has, in that it is often times treated as more "Star Trek" than current Trek installments, and expected to be respected as much as things like TNG or DS9.

And that's just the way of things. People forget the sheer unbridled hatred unleashed upon various things now accepted: SW Prequels, ENTERPRISE, etc.) and expect people to just go along with it now that it's always accepted.

I'm aware that I am kind of an odd person when it comes to my memory, but these things stand out to me as less than accurate recounts of how Enterprise was actually taken.
 
I have some longstanding problems with the choices made in casting, but in spite of that I liked ENT a lot when it was living up to its potential and not trying to be Diet TNG and not stuck in a creative rut. (Except for Scott Bakula, who I understand to be a truly wonderful person but whose performance as Archer I have never enjoyed and which I have come to dislike even more as the years have gone by.) I really enjoyed ENT S4. And I really liked the Trip/T'Pol 'ship.

I hate that mentality. It plagues every Fandom nowadays!
