I am just watching (not with too much enthusiasm) ENTERPRISE. As i tried it years ago it simpl bored me, but i was told it improves so gave it another go. Now in the midde of the 4th season. Generally i think its simply mostly not well written, most stories seem to be (badly recyced from elder Star Trek, even TOS. The newly introduced races despite the Xindi are rather dull. The Xindi-arch is the only story line i really enjoyed so far.
The idea to make a show somehow between NASA and Federation was not bad, but there are too many inconsistencies i cannot ignore. Simply that Enterprise can always handle any race who is technologically centuries years in advance.
And these contradictions in the characters ...The same "supermoral" Captain Arhcer who regularely is willing to risk his whole ship and crew for not harming anybody is boarding an Illyrian Vessel they befriended before, stole their warpcoil, leave them marooned for years in an enemy space (for the greater good)... and then after earth is saved, he is not going to look again for them?
The same captain who helps on the cowboy planet the now supressed former slaveholder race to emancipate in the now human dominated society, doesnt care at all about the destinies of hundred enslaved humanoids on the orion slave market as soon as he has his crew back.
He denies the asylum request on a humanoid who is only used as a breeding incubator, but enters uninvited the camp of an hunting party on their "game planet", being their guests, and then decided to help the prey of a hunting party not being because they appear for him like a girl he deems attractive.
The worst hardcore redshirt moment of star trek i saw today. Dr. Lucas had no big problems watching his no name "Nr 1" of his research facility he works every day being killed in the most gruesome way, but as soon as his good old pen pal Dr Phlox is threatened he immedeately breaks down.
And the sexuliisation of T`pol is almost a bit akward. In general, it seems in Star Trek universe, 90% of females have to be axtraordinairy attractive young women. Not that i have problems with attractive young women
But there can be aswell some interesting elderfemale characters like Pelia or Dr Pulansky.
Whatever, i am a bit frustrated, its simply incoherent, and there is hardly a really good dialogue (DS9 had so many good shakespeare like dialogues, it really improved my english). Whatever, i am almost happy if i ended the 4th season, i doubt it will strongly improve in the last 15 episodes.
Sorr for the rant, i had to let it out...ENT was the first really not so good Star Trek series imo, afterwards it fell in the abyss
