 - Enterprise Season 1This show, although good was not great during the first season. There were episodes which I thought were really good. There were five star episodes but the show really deserves a 41/2 stars but that is not an option. The DVD I bought was good, but sometimes it would jump a little on the screen. I am not sure what caused this but it seems that the company could have done a little better job recording the DVD's. However, I would recomend this show. It isn't the best Star Trek made but it still rocks. If you have not seen all the shows or if you are like me and want to enjoy the show without commercials it is well worth the money. It is also worth it because you can watch the to be continued episodes right after each other if you want. Rating:  - Why did they cancel it!??!?!I just recent finish the first season, and moving on to the second. If you watched the other Star Trek series before, than there's no way you should miss this series. It's like a history lesion of Star Trek, a bridge between all the other Star Trek series and today's modern world. It's pretty cool too see them react to a hologram room, food replicator, tractor beam, photon-torpedo, or using a transporter on a human for the first time while all the previous ST crew took those technologies for granted. Even though I only saw the first season I can tell Archer is the perfect captain for this crew, he acts like a father-figure to the crew, always taking risk, always show compassion for other species. He has the perfect characteristic for an exploration crew trying to fit humanity into the galaxy. If you're new to Star Trek, it is still worth watching, even though you may not know what a "Klingon" is. Despite your experience with ST, most of the episodes are very thrilling. It always manages to hold my attention. In a tight dilemma when you think there's no way out, they get creative and resourceful, and the result is always a happy ending. Rating: - Shouldn't Have Been CanceledEnterprise could have stood on it own, like the first Star Trek as Enterprise season one prooved. During its short lived 4 seasons it definitely made its own excellent marks upon the Star Trek Society. Rating:  - Same as otherAs I have written in another seasons review,Good show but Why so much money for this series?Cannot justify so much money as you can get others for half this price. Rating:  - Help! Get me off this sinking ship!What was the problem with enterprise? There are many opinions, but upon closer examination of the show the problem is not the choice of actors or failing ratings. Scott bakula must have been happy when he was chosen for this role and probably thought rightfully that it was the role of a lifetime after all it made William Shatner a household name. Many people have complained that he was a wrong choice for this role, but he was perfectly suited for it. This actor , in fact all the actors that graced the small screen in enterprise were more than competent, particular Bukula. Scott bakula was an actor best known for a role he had in another TV show that was long running. In this show he played a wide variety of roles some even female, and some in different historical settings. This would have been too much for most actors ,but Bakula managed to succeed and hit a bulls eye constantly. Just this show alone proves Bakula is an outstanding actor that can handle any role tossed at him. John Billingley is another fine actor, pay close attention to his facial expression and mannerisms, particularly in the temporal cold war arc and in later episodes. He manages to capture the psychological portrayal of his character despite the laughable lines that come out of his mouth. The problem with enterprise lies with the writing particularly the script. The actors do an above average performance with sub- material. Even outstanding actors cant save a sinking ship- and the enterprise was a sinking ship, literally a sinking star ship. Without solid writing a TV show or film will not survive and prosper. Despite its expensive budget, state of the art special effects and a name brand recognized by millions, and flawless sets enterprise should have succeeded and gone where star trek didn't go before. But enterprise only managed to cause embarrassment for everyone involved especially the actors who tried their best with the trash handed to them. They deserved better than this and we the viewers deserve better. The actors are probably going to be blamed for this shows failure maybe even vilified, but anyone with intelligence knows it wasn't their fault the enterprise sank. Without good or even average writing a TV show cant survive, this show sadly suffered from all aspects of bad writing- derivative and ill-conceived plots to a far fetched premise and down right embarrassing scripts. The actors had nothing to do with this mess, bakula and billingley are more than competent actors I would even call them outstanding- just check their other work out . Enterprise was a bad idea that should have never seen the light of day or in this case the darkness of space.
