    I know it gets shit but I loved ENT. Sure the first two seasons were rocky but the last two showed they were getting their footing - I would have loved them to dive deeper into the beginning of the Federation.

      Apart from the intro tune, I also didn’t share the hate. Sure, the tone was different and it had a bit of a rocky start indeed, but ah well… people often forget that the first season of TNG was hardly a bastion of solid writing and consistency, definitely rough around the edges.

        The time travel subplot was wasted by the writers. The Temporal Cold War set the series in an alternate reality from the rest of Trek and would have let them write whatever stories they wanted without having to worry about continuity.

      While I like all the seasons of ENT, I actually liked the first two seasons the best. I find that Star Trek works best with an episodic format as opposed to long running plotlines. Watching the first crew to explore space finding out how unprepared they were, having to find a balance between optimism and pragmatism, and having to basically make up the rules that would later become future Starfleet policy was fun and enjoyable.
