Rating:  - Enterprise: First SeasonI was a bit skeptical of this show when I first bought, but found that I really enjoyed the first season...it has all sorts of things that hint at what's to come on the ``Star Trek'' original series. The only thing I don't like about the show, especially what's to come, is a particular thread that was inserted dealing with time travel...but I'd come to learn that that wasn't solely the creators' doing, but at the behest of the studio. That said, I definitely enjoyed the first season and would obviously recommend it to die-hard `Trek' fans, but also casual fans of sci-fi, tho in that case, I'd suggesting renting it through Netflix or Blockbuster. Rating:  - Good god, this is terribleIt's official: I hate Star Trek Enterprise Season 1. I watched parts of later episodes a few years ago when it was on TV, and it seemed kind of OK compared to the other Trek shows which have come out in recent years. Season 1 is most emphatically not OK. In Season 1, Vulcan chick has the personality of celery. Tactical officer Englishman is an uptight tosser. Captain American likes puppy dogs. Communication neurotic ... why is she on this show? Doctor Flox is kind of cool in a perverted way. Engineer Redneck is pretty awesome, actually: first sympathetic modern unabashed redneck character on televisions. Ethnic complaint: everyone is an American except for the English guy. In old Star Trek, there was Japaneses, Zulus, Scotchmen and Russians. That ruled. This sucks. What is the plot of season-1? The plot is, Vulcans are bad, but maybe they're kind of good and need humans help to help them be better people. Back in the mists of Star Trek history, this sort of dynamic was probably designed to get smart people to think about being more filled with pep and ginger, and dynamic people to be more reflective and logical: this is probably a healthy moral lesson. Somehow that dimension has been lost, and it's turned into some pathetic psychotherapeutic point about being more sensitive. Other important plot device: golly that Vulcan chick is attractive. Seriously, the main plot device is adolescent sexual tension between Vulcan chick and the male members of the crew. While I bet this is popular with fans ... it's death to the story telling. I'm always thinking, "OK, now they're going to tie the Captain to the Vulcan girl, but she thinks he is stinky." And it always happens: it is boring and juvenile. More boring than the faceless guys in red always dying in the old episodes. Storyline: I can't figure it out. Enterprise aimlessly wanders in space. Some scaly green dudes want to hurt people at the behest of the Mysterious Stranger from the Future. And, there are occasionally cool green dudes with antennas who find Vulcans to be as irritating as I find everyone on this show. Enterprise Season 1 is what I imagine came out of a focus group of Trekkies. Old school Star Trek was the creation of Gene Roddenberry and his genius. It was Shakespearean in its human insight and moral lessons. This is just a compound of adolescent neuroses, soap opera and techno porn. The fragments of the old series show through: some of the plot is straight from old episodes, and the moments of dramatic tension often involve fixing the transporter and engines. My rating: phasers on bored and one half a green dancing alien girl. Rating: - GREAT!!Great show!Think it would have run longer on different network.The additional features really lets you see a different side to the actors and thier characters.Something for the whole family. Rating: - If you are still with me from my review from star trek first contactOkay to continue where I left off. The first episode Broken Bow Is very important it shows the Vulcans and Human relation after the movie first contact. And humanity first start exploring deeper parts of space. If you want know what each episode contains read (Ted Merriman review) I'll write down the more important ones and where they tie into the later series; Original, TNG, DS9 and so on. Strange New World Some of the crew land on an uninhabited planet. When they start to feeling strange and that they are being watched. This planet is also meantioned by Commander Ryker on the TNG episode Yesterday's Enterprise. All the other episodes in this season do tie into each other as you will hear the crew talk about what happened to them in the past in season 2 through 4. I really enjoy watching the first season. Like I meantioned earlier it's a huge story and it's all linked together. Well on to season two:)
