Despite your beliefs about canon or how entertaining the show Star Trek: Enterprise was, it was a prequel:
*It showed the beginning of Starfleet, and how the Vulcans and other later allies, but l held them back (but even further on united with them to make the United Federation of Planets.)
*Space pioneering was scary just like any other time in history when you discover a new land.
*The Transporter was controversial and scary, because it was new and unrefined.
*Enterprise showed beginnings of the Earth Cargo Service (which was pretty much all that they did before the Warp Five project.
*It showed the disastrous first contact with the Klingons, the Andorians, the Tellarites, the Tholians, the Romulans (though controversially showing the use of a cloak) [sort of the Borg and Ferengi, but they didn't actually identify them yet.]
*The warp flight programs NX-Alpha and NX-Beta were shown to later become the NX program.
*It showed the beginnings of the Prime Directive (which unfortunately it didn't finish.
)
*The episode picks up after Star Trek: First Contact and ties in how the Borg found Earth in "The Best of Both Worlds."
*Food replicators got started by the protein resequencers.
*Lost colonies like Terra Nova
*The Xenophobia of the Humans that led to the tolerance and diversity promotion of the Federation.
Yes, it was made in 2001-2005, but that doesn't mean that it was ANYWHERE near the technology of the Next Generation or Original Series.
Notable episodes:
Broken Bow
Fight or Flight
The Andorran Incident
Fortunate Son
Shadows of P'Jem
Minefield
The Communicator
Vanishing Point
Cease Fire
Horizon
The Cogenitor
Regeneration
I am more talking about Seasons 1-2.
