Many ENT fans champion the show's final year, but Season 3 was the best. The show really hit it's stride, and then Season 4 became all fan-wanky, as others have noted, before. T'Pol's adventures on Vulcan weren't that hot and I didn't care for how it was presented. Despite this, I happen to like The Forge, very much. It's the only episode in that arc that holds together 'well.' Though, the galloping, CGI sehlat that won't climb a mild incline and is easily startled, I found risible. But, yeah ... Vulcan really looks like shit. The thrift of these episodes really shows.
