I really wanted to like this series. The ship looked great, as did the uniforms, and the chance to see how the Federation was formed was too good to be true.
Literally.
Instead of getting the back story of Star Trek (doesn't anyone understand what a prequel is for?), we get all new aliens never before seen or mentioned, despite the massive effect they have on Earth.
Still, I tried to give this series a lit of slack, even defending it to a friend who gave up on it much sooner than I did. I explained away their naive and often idiotic decisions when encountering hostile aliens by the fact that they were more of the astronaught mentality, not military. That could only go so long.
What totally turned me off, however, was the episode in which Flox (sp?) discovered a cure for a dying alien race and decided NOT to treat them. Yep, that's the doctor I want on my ship. "Sorry Captain, but by contracting this disease, you are obviously SUPPOSED to die. Besides, if I cure you, Commander Tucker might not get to be promoted to Captain."

Finally purchased Star Trek Enterprise and glad we did!

We've been talking about ordering this for a long time and couldn't decide between individual seasons and the boxed set. After reading many reviews with problems people had with sets being foreign releases, we opted for the individual season. It was exactly what we expected and we're having fun watching it and looking forwarding to ordering the following seasons! Shipped in the time frame expected and received ptomptly. Thanks!

The Star Trekie Trek, Part 1
rating: 4
Upfront, I love Star Trek. When I was 3 I thought Picard's opening words of TNG were the pledge of allegance. I've seen most, if not all, the Star Treks ever made. So, from NetFlix, I decided to watch all of the episodes in order of every series. Naturally, I began with season 1 of the prequel series Enterprise.
Captain Johnathan Archer (note, JOHN Archer, JIM Kirk, JEAN-LUC Picard, and Kathrin JANEWAY), son of Zephram Cocraine's pal and fellow warp engineer, and warp test pilot, is put in charge of the first human warp 5 vessal, Enterprise. Archer and his crew, including Vulcan science officer T'Pol, engineer Trip Tucker, and Dr. Phlox, seek out new species and new planets (new to humans, at least) and find themselves in the middle of a Temporal Cold War none of them were prepared for...
Season 1 largely deals with humanity beginning its quest amongst the stars. Relations with alien species and the ongoing saga with the Suliban are at a prime in this season, with several of the more minor characters remaining seemingly 1 dimensional for this season. But, for a first season, Enterprise has a surprisingly bold and delightful way about it that only a Star Trek series might have...

It's ok
rating: 4
Enterprise was an interesting show. Despite the criticism, I watched the entire series while it was on television. The writing improved in the last season. The problem with this show was that it failed to follow previous Star Trek canon. Many people found this disturbing. Someone not interested in the other shows may enjoy this.
I personally like the first season the best. My favorite episodes from the series are in this season with the exception of the mirror universe episode at the end of the series. There are one or two episodes that will put you to sleep. The acting is top notch, although the vulcan character is not very good in the first season.
If you can ignore the problems with the story line and remember there is a lot of time travel episodes, it's a good show. I deal with this by pretending this show has nothing to do with the rest of the star trek universe. In fact, it wasn't even called "Star Trek Enterprise" the first season. They changed the name to improve ratings. I think B&B should have done a different space show without star trek using time travel. That was their mistake.
And remember, whenever you see the security officer, think "Vidal Sassoon ." (search for the 80s ad, it's funny)

Not nearly as bad as you might have heard.
rating: 5
It's a well known fact that there are a lot of Enterprise haters out there. But no matter what you may have heard, this series is not at all as bad as some say it is.
The first season box set is a great collection. You get all of the episodes, along with various episodes with commentary and deleted scenes. You also get a disk with more in-depth special features, such as interview and behind-the-scenes looks that you would expect from a quality box-set.
The first seasons was the producers testing the waters, and they didn't do a half-bad job with it. Star Trek: Enterprise is well worth checking out, and the first season DVD is a great place to start.
