I actually loved Enterprise. Seasons 1 & 2 weren't so great, but I stuck with it because I am a trek fan. By the time season three came around, I was hooked. Some folks love it, some don't. It really depends upon you, but I'd say give it a try. Some folks loved Star Trek DS9...I didn't. I hated Voyager. Hated it! And me being a as big a Trek fan as I am, I really wanted to love the series. Those particular shows just weren't my taste.
I say always give something a try first before you say no. Heck, I watched the miniseries of BSG and didn't like it too much, but folks here have convinced me that it's something I should give a chance, so I'm gonna.

I guess I'm one of the few who liked seasons 1 and 2. Season 3 had a season-long storyline that while was good for some character development, but revolved around an incident and race of people that had never even been hinted at in ANY prior Star Trek incarnation. A war with the Romulans or the Klingons would probably been better for the series (look what the Dominion War did for DS9). In season 4 they started doing what the should have been doing since the beginning: bridging the gap between First Contact and TOS and the stories were GREAT! Unfortunately I guess it was too little too late and UPN pulled the show to make room for something else that probably didnt last 4 seasons

I watched all things Star Trek, but I gave up on Enterprise. I was absolutely apalled. I do not believe the TNG would do well in our current age, but Enterprise was even worse than that. If your tired of shows like Enterprise and Stargate (and even Andromeda to an extent - with season 2 as an exemption) then you will definitely prefer shows like Firefly, Farscape, babylon 5 and battlestar galactica.

Since they've started to re-run the first season of Enterprise late on weekends, I've caught a few episodes here and there. I like Trek, but I'm not real impressed. I guess I'll try to stick it out.
What's with the theme song? Where is the let's-go-exploring trumpet fanfare? My first thought was that they were trying to copy the success of the Firefly theme. Perhaps "faith of the heart" was used so we would develop a more emotional attachment to the characters. "You can't take the sky from me" works because it really describes Firefly, but so far the Enterprise characters are a too shallow for that kind of connection. Anyone else had that thought? I haven't been through all the threads.

Everything was fine with Enterprise until the writers decided to blow it big time by having the Enterprise crew run into the Borg in one episode.....that killed the whole series for me.

Some of you seem to know alot about Enterprise, my question is, 'why the hell did you watch this CRAP in the 1st place?'. Do you enjoy punishing yourselves, to see how long you can watch before passing out?
Seriously though,I find it an absolute chore to sit through and totally devoid of any entertainment value. The sequences that are meant have some excitement in them, they just ache with tedium. The actors sound like they can't wait to be somewhere else, (And lets face it, who can blame them?) and the incidental/background music is so dreary and unimaginative. (Has it changed at all since TNG?). The effects, like the music, have all the flare of a paper bag. Oh and of course, not forgetting the Aliens who all speak perfect English and in American accents not less. I really do hope this is the end of the Star Trek franchise.
Yes I am bitter. Bitter that this sh*t ran for so long and Firefly ran for 11 episodes, not to mention in the wrong order.
Thats the end of my rant. I have to check my blood pressure now.

I watched Enterprise to see if I could find a little bit of TOS or TNG in it. I watched it to give it a chance, but after the "Borg" episode, I lost faith in the writers of the show and moved on to The Outer Limits.

The Borg ep killed me. I wanted to like Enterprise. I gave it a chance even though there was little character development and continuity screw ups everywhere. I saw most of the series, there were a few eps I missed and that doesn’t bother me at all. Sad when you miss an episode and you don't care.
And I wanted so much to see the beginning of things...
Don't watch the last ep. It's worthless and demeaning to the series.

I admit, Enterprise always looked lame to me, but I don't have cable and there's not much else on at 2am Monday morning. I avoided Voyager because Janeway irritated me, but when they put it on at 12 each night I eventually saw the whole thing. I wish they would play TNG instead! Heck, they probably already have the rights.

Even though it goes against my Vulcan nature...I apologize to you fans of Enterprise...perhaps I was out of line saying that you guys should slash your wrists for liking Enterprise.
I guess I wouldnt like it if someone said that about us Firefly, or Battlestar Galactica fans.
It was kinda mean...sorry.
