Hey fellow Trekkers I have come to ask if you guys would recommend watching Star Trek: Enterprise, I love the Original Series and when I think of Trek that is the series I associate with it and I love the films, well most of them, my favs are 2,4,6,8,10 and 11. I also like Next Generation and love Voyager, what do you guys reckon and don`t forget to vote.

If you're a completist, then yes, watch it.

If you managed to sit through voyager without hurling a blunt object at the screen, then yes.

It was a brilliant Idea that failed misserably.

The things they did right: Coming Up With The Temporal Cold War


The things they did wrong: Not ending The Temporal Cold War Well

I actually really liked enterprise, especially after it hit its stride around season 3. I just wish it had another season or two to cover the Earth-Romulan War and to have a better conclusion than the crappy finale it had or maybe even revealed who the shadowy guy commanding the Suliban was (I have my own idea...)

dadudemon
Ditto on the Suliban comment. I wanted to know more.



Also, I loved Enterprise. It was very fun getting to see them from the "old days".

I really enjoyed TNG, Voyager, and Enterprise. I remember, as a kid, thinking that some things in TOS were stupid...overly dramatic, while other things were simply cool. DS9 was more of a soap opera in a Star Trek universe, but it had its moments and was quite awesome at times.


Here they are, ranked from least to greatest: TOS, DS9, Enterprise, Voyager, and TNG.

Nope sorry it is greatest to worst DS9 TNG Voyager TOS and Enterprise
As far as the movies go it is Undiscovered Country, The Wrath Of Kahn, First Contact (JJ Abrahms Reboot) The Voyage Home, The Search For Spock, Generations, Insurection, The Motion Picture, with Final Frontier and Nemisis tieing for the suckiest treck ever

If there is ever another TV show, I would like this to be revealed as a premise-
In the JJ Abrams alternate reality the enterprise fails to stop some threat to earth like the whale probe, V'Ger or some other threat resulting in a disaster and some horrible future. Some future version of a familiar character from TNG finds out that the past has been changed but not the specifics. He turns out to be the shadowy figure manipulating the Suliban.

enterprise had its faults (using too many enemies from the regular series), but i still enjoyed it's best bits more than i enjoyed most of voyager...

Kinneary
I liked Enterprise. Not as much as DS9, but I rank it higher than TNG (which is probably the second lowest after Voyager). It was an interesting take on the early days of Starfleet, when the cornerstone races didn't get along like they did later on. Sometimes they took things a bit too far, like with the Borg, but all in all it was pretty good. The crew dynamics weren't as good as in other shows either, but all in all I thought it was great. The first season didn't really sit too well with me, but what show is great in its first season?

If they had been able to flesh out the Earth-Romulan War (as they were clearly intending by putting it so close to that timeframe), I think it would have ended up as a staple.

*edit for grammar

Raoul
you didn't like TNG?

Kinneary
It was a bit too crisp. Everyone got along too well, and the characters existed without any moral shades of gray. I liked the show, I still watch it sometimes, but I don't think it ranks up there with DS9, TOS, or even Enterprise. Enterprise could be bland sometimes, but man, when it shined, it really did.

That said, after Sisko, Picard is my favorite captain.

in the early seasons, i think you're right, but i think BOBW marked a shift in the show, and it got a little darker after that...

Kinneary
It did, season 4 and on was great. But the lack of character conflict made it just too unrealistic. Everyone got along too well. It was a flaw that, although was intended, just stuck the series into the lower dregs for me.

well i do think you make a fair point, and it's because of that, that i prefer DS9 over all others. i do prefer TNG to TOS and Enterprise, though. TNG has some classic episodes, and some great characters imo...

If not for the amount of novelty or ferengi episodes, DS9 would trounce the others imo...

Kinneary
I have to agree, they went a bit overboard with the amount of Ferengi on DS9. And yeah, TNG definitely had classic episodes. When I say I rank TNG near bottom, that doesn't mean I think it's a bad show by any means. It's still ****ing great - just, to me, not as good as the others.

Raoul
lol, i'd still have it over enterprise, personally...

Sadako of Girth
Yeah, despite my unminor hatred of Will Wheaton's Crusher, TNG is the winner for me outside of TOS and the movies.

I concur on the quality of the movies being 2,4,6,8, 11 for me.

They really did break the odd number curse with this one.

On paper Enterprise sounds like a winner, but every time I watched it, from the second that Russell Watson started singing, my ears, brain and eyes bled in perfect unison.

~JP~
To answer the question - hell Id quit after DS9 cause anything after that is major suckage. laughing out loud

me either. i skipped it every time i watched episodes... still do...

Enterprise show was good, better than Voyager, i couldn't even watch that crap, and DS( only got good once the dominion war and the trials and tribulation episodes.

The best episodes of enterprise had to be the mirror episode "in a mirror darkly" where they get into the OST ship it was very well done episode. unfortunately they found out they were being cancelled while filiming these 2 episodes, and it ended. and they hurried to finish the final few shows which sucked.
order of shows liked best to worst OST, NG, Enterprise, DS9 and voyager.
order of movies like best to worst, wrath of khan, undiscovered country, star trek the new one, voyage home, search for spock, next one is a tie motion picture(great story just boring as all hell but it was interesting) and first contact(good action). for me all the rest are 5,7,9,10 are just crap and do not exist and never did exist. So in my mind Kirk is still alive or it is unknown how he died.

If you are going to watch enterprise watch season 4 in a mirror darkly

Sadako of Girth
Plus T'pol in those episodes is very possibly the hottest woman Ive ever ever seen with these here eyes.

Ridiculously uber UBER gorgeous.

I liked voyager
