OMG, That's Awesome!

Babel One - The pullout to reveal that the Romulans are on Romulus.

United - Watching the Vulcan, Andorian, and Tellarite fleet fly past Trip and Reed, only to have the Enterprise slowly glide over them before beaming them aboard.
 
I actually loved it when the aliens got blown up on the NX class ship.

I also loved it when the Defiant used it's phasers or torpedoes on anything. So frigging cool.
 
When the NX-01 is shuttling the Tellarites and Captain Archer starts messing with Trip in the mess hall. For some reason that was so hilarious to me. Season 4 in general had alot of humor. It was really funny when Captain Archer cut off Commander Shran's antenna.
 
My OMG moment is the Enterprise art department totally getting T'Pol's appearance wrong in the first and second season.

Kirstie Alley's Saavik? EDIT: Ah, I see that's been covered.

Of course, actresses should have the right not to have half of their their regular eyebrows ripped out, just to play a part on TV, if they so choose. Especially when human beings themselves have so many variations of eyebrow shape.

I liked almost all of season 3 apart from the last episode. I only skimmed 4 because it had other universe episodes which are my bete noir next to entire holodeck episodes.
 
A belated OMG moment: A few days after the last episode, when I realized we never found out who Future Guy was, and probably never will.
What kind of a TV series spends so long on a mysterious character and then never has a reveal?

"He was probably a Romulan" they say after the point. Whoop-de-do :rolleyes:
You had a four seasons to tell us that!
 
Actually, I remember being super pumped for the Klingon ship combat in... which one was it? The Expanse? Or The Xindi? Kind of silly that they used Duras's great-great-great-great whatever but the battle was fresssssh.

I realized at the time they were getting that out of their systems since the season long Xindi arc wouldn't have much space for "local" politics.
 
For me it was the Enterprise herself.

I first saw a photo in TV guide before the premiere of the series, all the while wondering how they would pull off doing a 100 year retro-fit version of what we already knew. And I was thrilled to see just how cool it was. I loved that the orangy Bussard's were there, the glowing sensor domes, along with the industrial surfaces, round portholes, and exoskeletal structure.

I think it's the best Trek design, not only because it had it's own look, but because it honored what had come before while not being limited by it. (I completely disregard the Akira charges, I see a lineage, I know the backstory, but Doug Drexler's design put the Enterprise entirely in her own classification)

It was a unique but clearly early Starfleet design... something very hard to pull off.

That was one of mine too. I don't know why but the first time I saw her I was awestruck. Actually I still have that issue of TV Guide and I wouldn't normally save something like that.

But my biggest OMG moment have to be the last ten minutes of "Azati Prime". It had to be the most tense moments in the entire series. That scene where the camera pushes in on a helpless T'Pol and her soot smeared face while the bridge explodes around her is epic. But the biggest moment was watching the Enterprise spiral out of control toward the camera as the episode fades to black. That will be forever burned into my memory. I sat in my chair with my mouth hanging open for about ten minutes after the episode ended. I was totally blown away. (Of course I had to wait six weeks to find out what happened to them and it almost killed me.)

In England we had to wait to see the series, but we got "Azati Prime" and the next episode back-to-back in a two-hour slot :).

I loved at the very end of "Azati Prime" after we see T-Pol totally frozen up in the command chair, when the light over "Enterprise NX-01" goes out just before the fadeout.

Carrying on the series with a trashed ship was a brilliant move.
 
I actually liked the "crappy soft rock" theme song and the montage of humans advancing to space.
 
- I really love the way the series looked. I think it was a somewhat dramatic departure from the 24th century shows. This is partially due to the shift in the time period. I'd started to get really, really tired of the generic 24th century look, so ENT really had to change their game. The NX-01 sets were gorgeous and realistic. I love how small and cramped everything felt. I love the push buttons and levers. I love animated LCD screens built into the consoles. The uniforms were well done - a nice homage to NASA flight jumpsuits. And of course, the jump from 4:3 to 16:9 HD was great.

- "Broken Bow." As disappointing and uneven as the series was overall, it opened very strong. I think this may be the strongest premiere episode of all the series.

- A return of continuity! After VOY so blatantly ignored continuity and character development from one episode to the next, it was nice to see ENT actually pay more attention to these things.

I too really enjoyed the way mid 22nd tech and style was portrayed. The ship's tech was sufficiently futuristic yet close enough in resembling a lineage from our present tech that it felt much more realistic and what we actually might have by that time.

And kudos to you for pointing out the continuity! :techman:
This is one reason why I really like Enterprise and daresay it might be the best series because it actually has episode to episode continuity. People make choices and those choices affect them later on. I'm thinking of the events that "The Andorian Incident" sparked (That was the P'Jem episode, right?).

Star Trek: Enterprise = continuity. OMG that's awesome!
