Thank goodness! IMHO it was one of those shows that was a waste of time. Now if we can manage to get rid of a few more...
Seriously though, your thoughts?

I've tried to watch Enterprise but, for me, it's just too dreaful and poorly executed. It really never capatilized on it's premise of being a prequel and fell back on canabalizing Voyager and The Next Generation. (Then again, Voyager never capitalized on its premise of being a mixed crew at odds with each other trapped alone in a distant part of the galaxy with limited resources). To be fair, the end of the Enterprise's last season and the beginning of the new season has shown some improvement.
The problem I do have with Star Trek in general (and having watched and enjoyed it for 30 years), is that its a perfect world where there is no need for money, nor religion, where humans are inevitably morally and creatively superior to the other races they encounter. This wouldn't be so bad if the characters actually were morally superior, but it often came off as rather trite and simplistlic. It's like being talked down to by a 12 year old.
This is why I really enjoyed Babylon 5 which, in my opinion seemed to acknowledge the human condition more honestly than Star Trek. And it's why I really want to watch Deep Space 9 (in it's entirety), which from the episodes I've seen (I only saw the first few seasons), really tried to stretch and break the mold and do something new and fresh.
