They should not have made T'Pol a joke from the outset by making her a catsuitted knockoff of Seven of Nine.)
The Vulcans are usually shown in robes of some kind, put T'Pol in something like that. Think about Japanese
Samurai/ Jedi Knight form of dress. But still give her freedom of movement. With the right material you'd
still be able to see her big fukking boobs.
As for improvements
- Have it set closer in time to First Contact. Cochrane should still be around. We should witness humanity evolving, show the problems that still exist.
Enterprise to only what? A hundred years before Kirk. Back it up a half century, have them talk about the problems on Earth, a little social commentary. Explain how space/star travel and exploration will help the folks back home. Resources and colonies. Have Admiral Forrest bitch out Archer once and a while as to why he hasn't found X yet.
- Explain the world as the 22nd humans know it.
Throw a little zinger in sometimes, show they don't think just like us. Two centurys had to have changed us in some ways.
- More Vulcan. They should have visited Vulcan in the beginning. Use it to explain their society and culture, their motives right in the beginning.
I like what they did with the Vulcans.
- No transporters
- bullets, no rayguns
Yes and yes.
- MACOs from the start.
- More professional crew. It's inconceivable Earth would send some bunch of unexperienced newbies into the unknown, no diplomats, trained soldiers, a first contact protocol. It's dumb.
Mix it up. Military and survey/scientist, professional spacers (like Mayweather) vs inexperienced wiz kids (like Archer).
- traditional intro with Archer saying the space: the final frontier lines, no song
Show Scott Bakula sitting in the captains chair singing the song, while standing behind him the rest of the cast hums the back up tune.
____________________________
1) The Federation is already in existence, many centuries old. There's an on going debate thru the series about whether the Humans will be asked to join, Vulcans argue no.
2) One of the things Archer sent out to do is find out about this mysterious Federation.
3) We should hear something about the Romulans (briefly) every third episode, no one ever seen one, they're spreading like cancer, a ship has gone missing.
4) The Enterprise is too big, reduce it in size by a third or more. Make it tight inside, world war two submarine tight.
5) More beagle stories.

Could be true, but I still enjoyed it.
