That dog survived multiple space battles, the whole of season 3 with the battled damaged ship, space distortions and the borg. One of the strongest pets in the franchise alongside spot
Even if getting an Enterprise Season 5 is impossible. Who wouldn’t want Captain Archer to have a comeback in another show. I think I’d prefer time travel shenanigans rather than resurrection though
It would be interesting to give Archer the Picard treatment. Set a show 20 years after the episode before the last episode of Enterprise and in the space between before Discovery. I wouldn't resurrect him, since we didn't see him die, I don't think it should count as having happened
@@francescozenocchini4428Can't remember if it comes from Star Trek Online or a Beta canon source, but I have a heared Archer was serving as admiral during the Earth-Romulan war.
I just started watching the entire run of ENTERPRISE because I only saw a scattered handful of episodes when it originally aired, and I heard so much negative fanboy buzz about it that I never delved into it... and... I am just amazed at how great it was. I liked season one FAR more than I liked season one of TNG, DS9 or VOYAGER. And Bakula's Archer is a big reason. He needs to come back as an Admiral or Ambassador in STRANGE NEW WORLDS.
Down let the finale fool you. It was a holodeck TNG episode. I suggest the holo AI took liberties with Trip's fate. Nothing in that episode performed by the actual cast really happened. Because DAMN THEY KILLED TRIP!
Years ago, I saw the first season and a half of Enterprise on one of the many streaming services it once appeared on, and I enjoyed watching it. It was interesting to watch how the Vulcans controlled what those from Earth saw and the places they traveled to, along with secrets the Vulcans were hiding. I’m currently watching all of the TOS and TNG episodes, but maybe when I’m finished, I’ll subscribe to Paramount Plus and watch all the episodes of Enterprise.
@@andywellsglobaldominationI had heard the final episode of Enterprise was a train wreck, and that they unsuccessfully attempted to wrap things up in a neat bow ending with Commander Riker and Counselor Troi walking off of the holodeck.
Admiral Archer might be a little problematic. Almost without fail, most officers above the level of captain mostly cause trouble, since the writers in the Trek universe seem to be strong believers, historically, in "The Peter Principal." Since good field personnel are hard to come by, the main reason for promotion to "flying a desk" seems to be that they have become to hidebound to be useful in the field, but not impaired enough to lose the commission. Unless teaching at the Academy, series characters seem to be the exceptions, so long as they still act the same (So, they are basically "honorary" promotions ).
Absolutely! Especially since he could still be alive. The 2009 movie should have replaced that scene of Kirk as a kid stealing the car with Kirk at the launch of the Constitution class Enterprise in 2245, alongside Archer, since Kirk's dad sacrificed himself to save the Kelvin crew.
I love Season 3. It's super upsetting to watch, but in retrospect it's such a unique time capsule of television, showing how even Star Trek was fundamentally changed by 9/11
I've heard so many people talk about how great Scott Bakula is. Don Bellisario said that Scott was frequently helping the crew on Quantum Leap to build sets.
Surprised the Grip Union (or whatever the non-SAG equivalent) would permit that. Going through college I had my run-ins with helping out and getting in trouble with some or another union. These fellows really protect their jobs.
That airlock scene is star trek. Showing the duality of man and that its a hard call when you gotta save billions. Case and point DS9 "In the Pale Moonlight"
It really did go against the ethos of Star Trek, but I think it really highlights the changes between now and TOS and beyond. The NX-01 was consistently out-gunned and a small fish in a big ocean, like a kid with a slingshot vs. an army, and especially getting into that arc, the stakes were huge... Archer's actions may not have been moral victories, but honestly I'd imagine at least a few captains from later eras may have done the same in his position. [namely Kirk and Sisko I think may have done it, Picard and Janeway probably not]
Gary Graham and Eric Pierpoint were in Enterprise, with Graham as an alien (Vulcan) and Pierpoint as a human. In the TV series Alien Nation, they were the leads, except Pierpoint was the alien, and Graham was the human!
They are such good friends in Quantum leap but in Enterprise Dean Stockwell was the VILLAIN even if he meant well (Road to Hell paved with Good intentions?) and maybe he was an "antivillain" but still technically the villain.
I always liked and like it today Enterprise. Sure not all episodes were top but it was interesting to see this interpretation of early federation. The 4th season was also good doesn’t matter if it was the Augment Klingon or the racism (can’t remember the organizations name ) parts. I would like to see more about the Romulan War which had begun in Season 4. this is a chapter of Star Trek which never really was handled
Jonathan Archer is really Sam Becket stuck in the future and has yet to fix what went wrong since it is the future after all. Also, it was actually Sam Becket and the Quantum Leap project that started the whole temporal cold war. That's just my theory.
There is a story of Scott in New Orleans while shooting NCIS NOLA. A random person happened to see him one day. As they passed, the person nodded and said, "Good Morning, Captain". Bakula immediately stopped, called them back, and began a severe dressing down in front of everyone on the street for calling him "Captain" instead of the more appropriate rank of "Admiral". They said he did it without breaking character in the least, straight faced chewed the guy out, then simply walked on to resume his day. I love that story and absolutely loved everything about Enterprise.
the whole part about archer torturing someone in a air lock really brings weight to Quarks lines in siege of ar-558 " Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. They're a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people... will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don't believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes."
10:41 See, I liked the fact that Archer, a true boyscout, was put into a position where he had to compromise his morals for the greater good. It was about as close to a Pale Moonlight moment as we got for Archer. They made it clear he wasn't actually going to kill that guy, but had to convince him he was capable of doing it. I also love how in Season 4's episode Home, Archer lamented not going out with more weapons to Captain Ramirez. The Xindi Arc changed him, and good characters change.
When the crew of the Enterprise were desperate and didn't know much about the Xindi or their reasons to attack Earth, they felt like they had no other choices, but it shows who Archer was that when he figured a way to solve things as peacefully as possible he took that option.
Scott Bakula is a textbook Hollywood success story. I think every series that he was involved with concluded open-ended. Presently, he could reprise a role in 3 different active properties. How good is that?
Enterprise was one of the best. Ended way too soon. Manny Coto would have kept it in good stead. With a star trek tradition, a slightly weak first season, but not as bad as TNG's season one! Or the first movie, a gorgeous snore fest.
The acts of Archer in S3 are of a man with no fleet to speak of to back him up, with the fate of his species home world on the line. It’s justified. But not an approval of it.
Paramount themselves screwed over ST:Enterprise from the start. The first part of Season 1 was supposed to focus on the crew being on Earth, while the NX-01 was finished. You could even had the NX-01 outfitted with phasers and photons, instead of doing it so many episodes later. Paramount, however, wanted another ST:TOS...and then mandated that the NX-01 go into space ASAP. All of the Earth stuff that we saw in Season 4 could have been done in Season 1, and then given us social episodes like what ST:TNG had done.
Did they? Trek fanboys were complaining even from the most beautiful opening of all the series, because it dare the crime of having lyrics... If they had begun the series on earth instead of the space, I can only imagine how more they would complain
I'm 50 years old now and grew up watching Star Trek with my father and when all of Trek went onto CBS All Access and then Paramount we started rewatching all the shows but before my father started watching Discovery he wanted to watch Enterprise again since it took place right before Discovery but unfortunately he got sick and passed away before he finished Enterprise so watching Discovery and Strange New Worlds and the two animated shows is just missing something watching without my dad.
I think there are two things every sci-fi fan agrees on; Paul McGann needs his own Dr Who TV series, and Enterprise needs to return for at least a one season.
I enjoyed Star Trek: Enterprise, though the temporal cold war almost ruined it for me as, at the time I was burned out on the whole time travel trope. That said, season 4 was really good, the Mirror Universe episode was GLORIOUS and I wanted more Enterprise. Now watching the show again, I can say the temporal cold war makes more sense now and I forgive them.
A 5th season all in the Mirror Universe could have been quite interesting. Not sure how well that would have went over but it would have been cool to watch.
While a revival of the series is 20 years too late, a revival of the characters (ones who haven't sadly passed away, of course) could be a thing, after all, we got Picard back up and on the Enterprise-D at long last, so who knows what could happen, though at this rate I fully expect there to be a Lower Decks episode with the voices of the NX-01 crew at the very least... :P
@@claytonberg721 Personally, I can't see a viable Enterprise S5 in any form after so long, the difference in sets, filming styles and of course the actors (not least the recent loss of Gary Graham who played Soval) would be too jarring, unless it were to be set 20 years after the end of Enterprise (disregarding "These are the voyages"), making it look and feel like time had passed, but, I don't know how they'd bring a new storyline to that era, especially if by then, NX-01 was in mothballs, or indeed used as a museum ship, having been superceded by faster and newer ships by that point...
@@claytonberg721 The voices wouldn't sound right, just look at Prodigy and Lower Decks with legacy charaters returning, even the, ugh, "very short treks", they sound older, which is what would be a part of the jarring effect, they wouldn't sound right, it's 19 years since Enterprise ended, even in those god-awful "very short treks", Connor Trineer sounded "old" reprising his role briefly as Trip Tucker in "Holograms all the way down", I had to rewind a few times before I realised it was actually him and not a sound-alike, he sounded old, and of course, time is the fire in which we burn, after all...
Maybe a "revival" with another ship? Like the Columbia, or another NX class? Take over where Enterprise left off, with the Enterprise crew doing their thing in the background, maybe an occasional cameo, alà TNG on DS9, etc. It could cover the Romulan War, the formation of the Federation, and the Federation Starfleet.
We need a Star Trek: Archer miniseries or something to give Enterprise a more proper and deserving farewell. Also Archer had to be born a Rush fan in the year 2112.
Archer guest role in future Star Trek? YES! Please. I mean he was involved in a temporal war so imagine the possibilities... • He is summoned to the future by Trip, who is Still Alive. • Through temporal shenanigans he swaps places with Captain Pike... Oh Boy! (Believe me I could go on, but...) As always thank you so very much all for the videos.
Bacula was perfect to play Archer. He epitomized that sense of adventure that you needed to have in a first captain; he threw himself into the role(s), and would deal with the consequences, and what fate dealt him later. Archer could be summed up by the quote by Jean Paul Satre, "We are condemned to be free, and are responsible for all of our actions."
What? No mention of Mirror Universe rottweiler Porthos? I know, he was in one scene and presumably died with the destruction of the ISS Enterprise, but I love rotties. Speaking of Porthos though, as a part of American digital only station Heros & Icons, they had an promotion for Enterprise involving Porthos with the not so subtle suggestion that everyone was really there for the beagle. The end of the ad even has a portrait of Porthos in an Enterprise jumpsuit.
It probably flies in the face of established lore, but in my headcanon at least, the Starfleet delta - or "arrowhead" - was enshrined as the official insignia out of respect to the *Archer* family. :)
I loved that they got Bakula as I was a huge fan of Quantum Leap. It's 1 of the 3 influences of my moral code, Star Trek being another, (and Superman the last) so I love that they combined two of them EDIT: LOL at the Risean surfer dude.
ENTERPRISE is number 3 on my top favorite TREK shows. It was in second, but SNW came along and bumped it into third. I think the show got way too much hate in its original run, and most of that by the studio and the network. I also think the theme gets too much hate. At least the first two seasons. The version the "jazzed" up for seasons three and four was beyond a war crime. It could have gone for at least a good 3 or 4 more seasons. Heck, they should have brought Commander Shran and Ambassador Soval into the show as regulars. RIP Gary Graham. I just wished they hadn't killed Admiral Forrest, but, if they hadn't, we wouldn't have seen the true character of Ambassador Soval.
The thing that got me with Enterprise was that it NEVER referred to the rest of Earths space travel… there was no mention of orbit stations, saturn developments , martian developments etc… it had starfleet but they seemed , at least on screen, to only exist to make warp 5.. there was no mention of other supply vessels, other exploration or other ships except warp 5.. when in theory humans had a whole collection of worlds and outposts and vessels at hand
That's not true at all. Travis grew up on a cargo ship which is where he learned his piloting skills. And there were multiple references to other earth vessels. The episode "Fortunate Son" centers on an earth freighter.
@@cynthiacampbell7277 fortunate son focuses on the ONLY earth vessel we ever see or hear about which is Travis’ family one. We NEVER see, hear of , or discuss ANY other human interests, with the exception of a near final blow out at the vulcan embassy… thats it.. wheres the warp 3 vessels, wheres the earth station, wheres the startings of utopia planitia etc? The must be building warp 3 vessels somewhere. We know at that point that starfleet is effectively Earths trade vessels rauthority despite military rankings, its a civil organisation. The MACOs are the military branch of space military. But there is no mention of earths starfleets missions or exploration prior to warp 5… all the officers are brand new. None have experience of warp 3 vessels for example, Travis makes reference of coming across violent bad guys but malcom never says in a previous posting he had to outrun aliens, etc But to be fair the second scene has Hoshi teaching “klingon” to students when ten minutes earlier the entire world is claiming it had never ever seen or heard of a “klingott” and their species had never been seen nor known about so..
At the time it aired, I’d just finished watching Quantum Leap, and having Scott as the captain ruined the series for me at the time. I think he was a bad choice. Although when I rewatched it years later it wasn’t as bad. But I always said, he was the reason Enterprise didn’t do well.
Thank you for this one! Captain Jonathan Archer is Star Trek's most underrated and underappreciated Captain, ditto Enterprise, but both are actually far better than the critics think.
TBH, I never much cared for Archer. I just found the way he was presented not entirely appealing. A bit too keen on hearing himself talk, perhaps? Just came off that way for me. I was never a bit fan of Kirk either, and they were a bit similar in that way (I wonder of Bakula was trying to channel Kirk a bit). Really, I like Picard and to a slightly lesser extent, Sisko (if I had to work for either, I'd prefer Sisko though). I really like Voyager, but Janeway isn't really close to being my favourite. She was good, and certainly had her moments, but it really rubbed me the wrong way when they had her do overdone bits with, I don't know what to call them, sad dramatic pauses or something? It's not having the emotions themselves that were the problem, it made some sense given the crew was isolated from Starfleet space and grew more personal and casual relationships, but they were so...hammy I guess? Like bits of soap opera inserted into the show. Even so, I still generally preferred her to Archer, and Kirk/Archer are mostly tied at the bottom. Don't really have much in the way of opinions for other captains (namely from the reboot movies, Discovery, Lower Decks, etc.).
I love Enterprise and Archer - by far my favourite series and captain! Such a shame we only got 4 seasons, and not the normal 7, to continue to enjoy through dvd and streaming
Would be nice perhaps even a hologram of Archer in say the Academy series. Perhaps a history class and a hologram of Admiral Archer is used to teach about the NX01 time period for the class in the 32nd century. I think that would be pretty cool and would allow Scott to somewhat reprise the role.
I love that Scott Bakula is a Trekker, like David Tennant and Peter Capaldi are Whovians, because it shows in the way he approaches the role, with respect and able to immerse himself in the world of Star Trek.
Yes, and while talking about a whig flown in from London he showed Patrick Stewart without a whig, and while talking about a surplus of Siskos he showed Avery Brooks. So what's your point?
In my book, Enterprise "failed," as it didn't feel very Star Trek. From the Vulkand being... Scarcely like themselves as established by decades of media, to the afore mentioned Intro Song.
If i haven't seen Star Trek Voyager, i would say enterprise was my fav series of all of them. The enterprise for me had a different thing, and it wasn't the people on earths warp 5 capable ships. It's the same why i like Stargate so much it's of the technology It's so close to our level at the time it was filmed image what would the continuation would be white the NX 02 Columbia would be with our current technology.
he is captain of enterprice bcoz its star treak. it could be any other show just changing names. oh yes thats why we allready same episode done other shows. even matlock LOL
When Enterprise was first airing I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt. The show lost me when in the beginning of one of the first season episodes Archer went on PA and told everyone to look out the portal for some celestial event. I wanted a captain not a tour director. It took me a very long time to come back around to watching again.
i hope if the wordds are true we may see enterprise nx01 in lower deck season 5 fingers crossed dont know how they do it like will be at the museum or a time travel episode if they manage to do the enterprise in season 5
I missed most of when "Enterprise" first aired, as I was deployed on active duty in the Military when it originally aired, and so didn't get to see the series in its entirety until my wife bought me the DVD boxed set at Christmas 2008. After seeing it completely, I really think it was NOT as bad as many say it was. It started off slow, but there were some especially good episodes, especially in the third and fourth seasons. "Count Down", "Zero Hour", "Twilight", "Storm Front" and "In a Mirror, Darkly" just to mention a few. Look at TNG's FIRST season. It was pretty lackluster, but by season three, we got "Best of Both Worlds", and "Yesterday's Enterprise". Hope Bakula comes back in again to Star Trek at some point. If not, at least I have his autograph on a pic of him in the Captain's chair (Constitution class) on the "Defiant" from the "In a Mirror Darkly" episode, dressed in the "TOS "style Kirk SHIRT!!! WAY COOL!!!
I'm a unusual Star Trek fan as my favorites are ENT, PIC, DS9, LD, SNW, NG, VOY, TOS, TAS, DIS, and I think Scott Bakula is amazing as the 1st captain as he is the prototype of the future other captains.
Star Trek Enterprise is the last Star Trek show. RIP Star Trek 1966-2005... May you rest in peace. You will forever be missed and watched but never forgotten
I watched TOS as a 10+ year old in the 60s and it was my favorite of the franchise until ENT. It's my favorite now, I love logical progression origin stories for one, and two, answers to minor questions like, how do we, as a species, get out of this current angry dystopian mess and get on with the cooperative, just, fair, and moral(?) development of the human species envisioned by Star Trek? TNG "First Contact" was awesome and "In a Mirror Darkly" (ENT S4E18/19) absolutely blew me away! Too bad the series didn't get more seasons.
Never watched it back in the day and never had any interest until recently. Just powered through all of it and I'm gonna say that the finale never happened. I knew of it well before now so that probably shaped my view of it but just so much of it I didn't like. I enjoyed the series though.
*UPDATE* Jonathan Archer, is different, from what you see. It turns out, universes are the same as QUANTUM LEAP... back in the 90s, Sam Beckett went into the time chamber, towards the end, he was supposed to come home, but he leaped and we lost him.. well the new show has him crossing paths with star trek, cause he went past his Future self. So Jonathan Archer is actually, Sam beckett
Love the air lock scene, some alien just killed 100 million people are where coming back and y'all worried about morals...that's why I live Archer and Sisko....Shran taught Archer some lessons!
It was that Theme tune. Why did they use Christian Rock? "I have Faith that my Faith and Faith will Faith the Faith of my Faith, Faith, Faith". Rubbish! Religion may not be mutually exclusive from Star Trek, but a Denial of Evolution is. 🤮

My biggest complaints were, UPN (not available on all cable providers at the time) instead of rapid syndication like next gen (could watch it on CBS and Fox if I remember right), and... yeah... the temporal cold war
