Under the command of Captain Jonathan Archer, the crew of the first warp five starship (the Enterprise NX-01) begin to explore the galaxy. As their mission progresses, the crew encounter familiar races like the Klingons and Andorians as well as some new ones.Starting in the first episode, the Enterprise crew discover their time has become a front in the mysterious Temporal Cold War. They sometimes find themselves up against the Suliban, an aggressive race that is apart of a faction of the war and given orders by an unknown being from the future. In the second season finale, things take a deadly turn when an alien race named the Xindi attack Earth. With the Xindi preparing another attack and humanity facing destruction, the Enterprise crew have only one option. The third season sees the crew searching the mysterious Delphic Expanse for the Xindi and trying to stop them before their next attack. The fourth season has the crew back home and opening up brand new adventures, one with special guest Brent Spiner. As of season four, T'Pol has officially left the Vulcan High Command and joined Starfleet Command, she has been promoted to Commander.The theme tune for Enterprise is titled "Faith of the Heart", performed by Russell Watson and written by Diane Warren.… Expand

Season 1 Review: The two-hour pilot is a wonderful show - the best start for a "Star Trek" series in its long and amazing history - and Bakula's instantly likable characterization is no small part of it. [24 Sep 2001]

Chuck Barney

Season 1 Review: It's this sense of wonder that sets "Enterprise" apart from the more stodgy Star Trek offerings and injects some much-needed fresh energy into the 35-year-old franchise. [26 Sep 2001]

Season 1 Review: The creators of "Enterprise," Rick Berman and Brannon Braga, don't reinvent Gene Roddenberry's wheel, they just give it a spirited turn. [26 Sep 2001]

Julie E. Washington

Season 1 Review: It's an auspicious start for the fifth live-action "Trek" series, with less moralizing, less preaching and more action than past incarnations. [23 Sep 2001]

Washington Post

David Segal

Jun 25, 2013

Season 1 Review: Bakula gives the Capt. Kirk thing his best shot, but the script is riddled with clunkers and jargon. Worse, "Enterprise" has a bargain-basement feel that lands just this side of camp; the space fights aren't much more convincing than PlayStation offerings. And everything is wrapped in a trite message about unity and the importance of getting along. [26 Sep 2001]

Unlike Star Trek Discovery, Star Trek Enterprise is a fun prequel with decent episodes. It deals with the crew of an experimental starship in the 22nd century, a century before the adventures of Captain Kirk, Mr Spock and Dr McCoy.

The flaws of this crew are refreshing yet they remain quite likeable throughout, never becoming **** like the characters of Star Trek Discovery.

CBS CEO Les Moonves cancelled Star Trek Enterprise after its 4th season but the 4 seasons that did get made, hold a lot of promise and you might find yourself wanting more after the penultimate episode.… Expand

After Voyager ended a new Star Trek show was green-lighted. They chose the idea of a prequel. It is the story of the first human spaceship that sets out to explore the realm outside of our solar system. It is set 90 years after the first contact with the Vulcans. The Vulcans wanted to protect and guide mankind because they though they were not read for space exploration yet (I think they were at least partly correct). This lead of cause to some animosity. Everything is new here. Shields were not properly inveted by humans, warp 5 is fast, phasers are called phaser pistols, universal translators are unreliable, other species are unknown outside of data files for humanity, teleportation is new and not trusted. Many concepts like red alert or the prime directive do not exist and there is no Federation yet. It is a fresh and new setting. For me there are however some problems with this. As fan I know the basic history of the Federation and Earth. This takes away some tension and I can foresee events and predict some outcomes. Then there is the crew. I say they chose a good crew that is a bit to unremarkable. Before you get angry ask yourself: “Is there anyone who you would choose as best Star Trek captain, doctor, engineer or officer from this show?” No and I have yet to find anyone that does. Again that means not that they are bad. Lets start with the crew. Scott Bakula is an excellent actor and I enjoyed Quantum Leap. He is good as captain Archer but nothing special. Ask a fan who is the best Star Trek captain and say it is Archer and you will see disbelieve because they never considered it even as an option (Sisko by the way for me). Jolene Blalock as T’Pol is my favorite character and her arcs are interesting. Dominic Keating as Malcom Reed is underused and sometimes a bit uninteresting. John Bilingsley as Dr. Phlox is my other favorite. He is interesting character wise and has often good roles in the stories. Linda Park as Hoshi Sato has her moments in the show and won me over but I will say they could have done more with her. Connor Trinneer as Trip is my third favorite character here. I must admit that he can be annoying sometimes. The story lines are great. You can see the first glimpses of the Federation, a cold war story-line (not that one), the Xindi arc, the Sulibans struggles and some fanservies or should I say Easter eggs. Also you see some relations of the alien races that are rocky. Like the Vulcans and Andorians being at each others throats. Everything is new here as each encounter is a first contact. There are also some social themes like xenophobia or what course should humanity set. There are also different philosophies in alien cultures that differ from later shows. I will get into some spoiler free details in my reviews for the seasons. Season 1 was a mixed bag for me, season 2 was a lot better, season 3 was really good and season 4 was relatively good except the final episode. Overall a solid show but it did not reach full potential or earned enough fan acclaim.… Expand

The last good Star Trek series. I'd much rather have had more seasons of this than the follow ups.

Ugh. I just can't, with this show. Because it's Trek, I binged through it all, but it was a struggle, at times. They eventually added some decent depth to some characters, but there were so very many attempts at fan service that fell flat. And the theme song makes me want to gouge my ears out.

I watched this only because it was Trek and I wanted to see what it was about.

However, it was all wrong wrong wrong. It ignored previous canon by introducing the Borg (again?), amongst others. Aside from the fact that the entire series was a cheese-fest... the theme tune: Holy F**K! ItI watched this only because it was Trek and I wanted to see what it was about.

Aside from the fact that the entire series was a cheese-fest... the theme tune: Holy F**K! It is like a sh!tty 1980s power ballad/bad Kenny Loggins song. Where have the French horns gone? Where went the majesty of the great Trek theme tunes?

I couldn't like it at all and, despite me having watched all previous Trek series' several times, this one will not get another outing.… Expand
