   I gotta disagree with you. During the last season after they brought   
   in the Stevenses and some good writers, Enterprise turned into a very   
   good show. Now that was Star Trek the way it should have been. But the   
   first few seasons were literally wasted with the dumb story arcs that   
   covered whole seasons and trying to sneak in Next Gen characters like   
   the Ferengi, Risa, et al instead of getting back to the roots.   
      
   When they had featured the Andorians and Vulcans mixing it up, the   
   stuff of the early Federation, that was when Enterprise was living up   
   to its potential. But it took too long for Enterprise to find its   
   footing; when it did, too many people had already jumped ship.
