Member Rating:  
The first season of Star Trek: Enterprise may have begun in the year 2001, but it's 2151 A.D. so far as the stars (and the fans) are concerned. Now that the Vulcans have (none too enthusiastically) been persuaded to provide humans with star charts that will permit them to travel through deep space, Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) and his crew are ready to climb aboard the Enterprise NX-01, Earth's first Warp Five starship. Loyally serving under Archer's command are attractive Vulcan science officer T'Pol (Jolene Blalock) (who has been sent along because the Vulcans aren't entirely convinced that the humans are advanced enough to handle the job alone); Archer's old pal Cmdr. Charles "Trip" Tucker III (Connor Trinneer), the ship's chief engineer; stuffy British munitions expert Lt. Malcolm Reed (Dominic Keating); interstellar-travel veteran Ensign Travis Mayweather (Anthony "A.T." Montgomery), the Enterprise's helmsman; resident "brain" Ensign Hoshi Sato (Linda Park), the ship's communications officer; and Denobulan doctor Phlox (John Billingsley), who has a working knowledge of virtually every species and civilization in the galaxy. And we mustn't forget the ship's mascot, Archer's pet beagle, Porthos.

No sooner has the Enterprise undertaken its first mission than the crew discovers that they have become enmeshed in the long-running Temporal Cold War, and that they had better keep several steps ahead of a mysterious futuristic, genetically manipulative race called the Suliban. Along the way, the Enterprise personnel have their first major encounters with the redoubtable Klingons and the mercurial Ferengi (though the latter race is never identified by name), the sensitive Hoshi has her first panic attack, the entire crew becomes hostile and paranoid thanks to a hallucinogenic pollen, a rapidly growing alien baby threatens to engulf the Enterprise, the mystery of the "lost colony" Terra Nova is solved in rather disturbing fashion, Trip uncovers a startling secret about T'Pol, and a Suliban subversive manages to insinuate himself onto the ship. Also, fans of the old sci-fi series Quantum Leap should enjoy the episode "Detained," which reunites actors Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell. The season ends with the first of Star Trek: Enterprise's cliffhangers, as Archer and former crew member Daniels (Matt Winston) are compelled to travel through time to thwart a deadly Suliban sabotage scheme. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    This is a most wonderful series. Damn those who panned it. I have always loved Star Trek in any form from Original to Voyager but a lot of people panned Enterprise and I didn't have time to watch it when it was on. I caught a few episodes here and there and wished I could have time to see it all. Fortunately, Blockbuster had it here! I watched Seasons 1 through 4 and I have to tell you, it's my favorite Star Trek of all. I grew to love these characters and I am so angry it wasn't supported by we Star Trek fans more than it was. It's a wonderful story and an amazing crew. It deserved better than it was treated. I am ready to watch all four seasons again. My favorite character is Tripp. I recommend this to everyone who loves Star Trek.

    They say "time heals all wounds", yet, even after 7 years I'm still upset with the post-millennial Trek franchise "Enterprise". Rick Berman and Paramount seemed to slap the memory of Gene Roddenberry and most Trek fans with this rather apocryphal offering. In spite of a great deal of media coverage and advertising, ST: Enterprise,with it's unfortunate Temporal Cold War hook (and the odd anti-Vulcan bent), never generated the loyalty of previous series. During its run, I was not impressed with the show. However, revisiting the series since it's DVD release, I have become far more appreciative of the wonderful on-screen camaraderie which developed amongst the cast. The Direction, SFX and production values were first class! The quality of acting talent improved throughout the series' run. The scripting was handicapped by the over-arching series plot-line of a Temporal Cold War. I can recommend "ST:Enterprise" to any who enjoy science-fiction, or (with a grain of salt) the Trek alti-verse.

    Star Trek: Enterprise veers from the course set by Roddenberry but there wasn't a lot more to say there, and cinematically it is easily the best of the spin offs. The characters, particularly Capt. Archer and T'Pol(vis-a-vis Spock), are much more multi dimensional, sometimes taunted by their own devils, and therefore more interesting and believable, at least for the moment, than previous casts. The humor is more varied and subtle and not always so predictable. All this is all attributable to both better writers and actors than in previous series. Although I enjoyed TNG at the time, by comparison, the characters are wooden, predictable and the humor contrived.. The plots of Enterprise are darker, perhaps reflecting the mood of time in which it was made, and this is supported by the darker lit, somewhat claustrophobic sets and the excelent score (a feature woefully lacking in all previous emanations) The special effects are far superior as well.
