Ooh...I liked that scene too. Now I think I'd better rewatch Enterprise again.Babel One - The pullout to reveal that the Romulans are on Romulus.

My OMG moment is the Enterprise art department totally getting T'Pol's appearance wrong in the first and second season.
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.
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.)
^Me too.
- 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.
