 - All of it has been done for years....and it's still good. Since every philisophical, social, and even action type sequence has already been experienced in the Star Trek universe, there's only one thing to do: Relive it all again and pretend it's the first time that Klingons threaten to kill your family, the borg attack, the ferengi comically appear, ect. If you completely ignore all of the "origin" story arcs in the original show and Next Generation, you'll be ready to reel in suspense, laughter, and on occasion, think deeply about the oppressed third sex of some weird alien culture. People complain that the series is being ruined, a dead horse is being kicked, and that Jolene Blalock is being used as a sex-object. Well guess what, the horse is an immortal super horse that can never die, no matter how much the fans try to bury it and live in the past/future, however you look at it from a temporal cold war perspective. And on the subject matter of poor, poor T'Pol being objectified :(, have you forgotten Seven of Nine? Deanna Troi? And let's get off our high horse and think about the SEVENTY THREE women that Kirk's been with. Sexuality was more suble in the past shows, were a more open audience now. It's not as great as Next Generation or Voyager, but it's going places. You may not like where it's going, but it's kept Trek alive. Sure it's cancelled now, but when you're older "fans of this show" remember, you'll be cursing that "New" show that will air within the next decade or two. With an alien captain, a gay commander, and a penguin connected to a super computer to make them coffee. Then, then you will curse it's name and declare Enterprise "true" Trek. Conclusion: It's a good show, keep Trek alive and watch it. Rating: - Too expensiveI liked the series, even if I hated the temporal cold war arc. However, while there are people who may be able to afford this at full price, I can not. If this were more affordably priced, say $40 a season, I would buy it. Rating:  - Excellent (but pricey) addition to my Star Trek collectionIf you're considering buying Season 1 of Enterprise you're most likely a fan of the show, so I won't bore you with my opinions of the various episodes except to say that the overwhelming majority were well written with excellent performances by the cast. Regarding the performances, I enjoyed the extra feautures (especially the piece on Scott Bakula) as they give fans a brief inside look at the actors and their feelings about their performances and the show itself. The other features about various creation and production aspects of the show were also worth watching. The physical packaging of the Enterprise disks is cool and elaborate. After a while it becomes a bit of a hassle to remove and replace DVDs from the box. However, as Enterprise will sit on a shelf as part of my collection, I appreciate the slick appearance. Rating: - I definitely like this show!You know, I really liked the fact that each Star Trek series had to bite the dust after season 4, but the early Enterprise years were at some of it's best. The Temporal Cold wars and the Fantastic Broken Bow Pilot episode. The Season finale Shockwave is the best I've seen Yet! And don't let those belitting negative comments get to you to not buy the DVD set because I think Enterprise had alot of potential. But lets just say that it was a great show that got robbed of a long 7 season or 8 season run as with the other Star Trek predecessors. Rating:  - Star Trek fans will enjoy Enterprise.If you're a fan of previous installments like Next Generation or Voyager, then this series will at least entertain you for its compatibility with the series - and its attempt to portray the world of Star Trek before Star Trek.
