I officially began my journey through all Star Trek on October 9th...

Last episode I watched was Precious Cargo, which is the 11th episode of season 2.

Your next one Catwalk is actually pretty decent. Be warned there are a few "Brandon Braga" episodes looming in the pipe. You will know them when you hit them. After examining Brandon's body of work one really does worry about what goes on in his mind and how he is allowed to walk the streets with the normies. because Threshold does not seem to be outside his standard thought process.

@Shalashaska I just discovered your journey and have spent WAY too much time reading through it all. Amazing to see you go through them all in order of release. Found myself getting excited as you neared some of my favorites to see how you would like them. Your ranking of the TOS and TNG movies is pretty much right along with mine. Looking forward to hear what you have to say about what you have left.

Congratulations, you've passed the low point in Enterprise. Precious Cargo and Nemesis were garbage Trek. Poor, lazy imitations of 'Elaan of Troyius' and 'Wrath of Khan'. No imagination whatsoever. From here on though, it will only get better and better.

Star Trek V is often called the worst Trek movie, but I think it's much, much better than Nemesis (and Insurrection). True, the story is nonsense and the special effects are awful. But it feels like the original show and the chemistry between characters is fun to watch.
Nemesis... it's a lifeless corpse of a movie. It may look good, but I felt dead inside after watching it again recently. Star Trek Bullet Points: The Movie. Technobabble Generator 4. Paramount Needs Money 10.
I wish All Good Things was the final TNG story. These TNG movies, such a waste... Generations already managed to ruin Kirk's perfect goodbye in Undiscovered Country. Nemesis finished the job and ruined TNG's finale as well.

I'll have to agree with ST V. It redeems itself in one masterful memorable line that is one of the most pure Trek moments ever put before a camera. "Why does God need a Starship?" Whereas the only thing you remember from Insurrection is Worf's acne. And a day later you do not even remember that much of Nemesis.
 
Stigma, Cease Fire, Future Tense, Judgment, Cogenitor, Regeneration, First Flight, and The Expanse are all good episodes you have left in season two. Then seasons 3-4 are mostly all good or better episodes with a few exceptions. Hang in there!
 
Season 3 is much better. And Season 4 mostly better than that. Not DS9 or TNG level better, but far far improved over Seasons 1 and 2. I'd say its not any worse than most of VOY.

And if you are looking to queue up something to watch after ENT, keep this in mind. I happened to rewatch DS9's In The Pale Moonlight this weekend. It dawned on me that the Sisco we see there is the starting point for Ron Moore's Commander Adama in the newer Battlestar Galactica.
 
Berman/Braga wouldn't know subtlety if it smacked them in the face.

Stigma's basically the 45-minute version of Tasha telling Wesley drugs are bad, except it's about AIDS... and homosexuality.

You know it's way too preachy when an idiot like me can get the message!
How long's that goona take.
 
Where are you up to so far? 3rd and 4th seasons have some great stuff. T'Pol has a pretty interesting arc in both
