 - slowness of deliveryI sent the order in plenty of time to get it by my sons birthday. It did get here. I paid for one after that and it was here in a few days. Seven to nine days longer for free delivery. It was lots longer than that. Please don't offer something you don't want to give to a customer. I have used your service for books all year around. I will do less of that. Rating:  - Star Trek Enterprise - 2nd SeasonI is nice to have the video on hand to review and enjoy at my liesure. The video quality was better than season one. Rating: - Better storiesOne of my good friends bought this for my graduation, as I missed seasons 1 and 2 because it ran on UPN which came in very poorly. I have since watched season 1 on the SCI-FI channel and thought it was fun. I love Scott Bakula as Capt. Archer. Season 2 seemed to come together better with the characters and their inter-relationships. I loved "Cease Fire". Any episode with the andorians is great fun! "Regeneration" was good, but has the problem of introducing a species that wasn't met by the Federation until TNG. Oh, yeah. I forgot the incredibly lame "First Contact" that opened this possibility up. Overall, I felt the episodes were better written here and I enjoyed this season. The final episode, "The Expanse" was a huge mistake. After constantly ripping off original season and TNG species encounters, they missed the boat by bringing in the Xindi instead of introducing the Romulan/Federation war that would have occurred during this time period, according to Star Trek lore. Rating:  - Awesome but for Two Episodes. This is a solid season, Enterprises Sophomore effort. We get to see the crew really acting like family, discovering more species, learning more about the politics of space and relationships. The best episodes in my opinion were Carbon Creek, where T'pol tells Archer and Tripp about the "real" first contact, it is really like a mini movie within the season, I didn't want it to end. Judgement is my second favorite, Archer is brought before the Klingon High council for crimes against the empire, I love the klingons and I love that his advocate basically puts archer straight on the Klingon race, they aren't all warriors there are different classes and the intellectual class is getting sick of the whole empire being corrupted. My third favorite is The Expanse, where the zindi have killed millions of humans on earth and the "temporal cold war" plops right in the enterprises lap whether they want It or not, or even believe it in T'pols case, going into the expanse and the rumors that surround it reminds me of the movie "event horizon" where the ship goes into space and encounters strange anomalies and it messes them up severely. The rumors about the expanse have people coming out of it turned inside out and crazy. Still the enterprise wants to go into it, to save the human race while recognizing that they might have to sacrifice themselves to do so. The worst episodes in my opinon are Precious Cargo, and Cogenitor. Precious cargo has an alien ship that needs help, and onboard is a beautiful woman who has actually been kidnapped and her and tripp escape and crash on a planet. I really hated this one, because it just reeked of TNG. Padma Lakshmi cannot act she is horrible horrible horrible and it ruins any chemistry she might have had with commander Tripp. The other one Cogenitor, again very TNG with its PC overtones and lame story line. All in all it's a wonderful season, so well written and extremely addictive and watchable. Rating: - DVD far better than TVThe Season One cliffhanger finally got my attention. The DVDs avoid the day, date, time, and station confusion and the commercial interruptions. I'd actually rate Season Two a 5, but the difficult to use plastic DVD case and inconvenient DVD menu options, suggest a lower grade. What ever happened to the "one click" "Play All"? Finally, Season Two delivers! You won't be disappointed.
