The Op is wrong. Berman has consistently made POOR creative moves -He fired Ron Jones for making music that was too good. -He valued himself as a writer (Despite the fact that his first writing credit ever was TNG Brothers) So he writes all of Season 1 + 2 of ENT. -He's lying. All the writers (especially COTO) knew he didn't care about continuity. He said he was surprised Berman did Year of Hell based off the Kes Episode. But it turned out he just liked the phrase. -He and Braga OVER use time travel -ENT ultimately is just a transplant of TNG in the past. -He was GOING TO USE the AKIRA CLASS as the Enterprise without ANY MODIFICATIONS until the staff convinced him otherwise (Doug Drexler) -Garret Wong stood up to Berman for the fans saying the stories are poor. -Berman asked The DS9 Producer Steven Ira Behr what was wrong with Enterprise and got a brutal assessment and then completely ignored him (From Behr's own mouth) . Not only are you wrong you're over devoted to trek. You can't see that these two men's creativity eventually dragged Trek down after they got control. Why can't you see the difference between TNG and DS9, VOY, ENT? One takes it's self seriously they others turn into cliches.
saquist No the OP is right: 1) True that was a bad mistake although from Berman's point of view he didn't want the music to draw attention to himself but definitely a valid criticism. 2) What's wrong with Brothers? It's a great episode and he also wrote episodes of Enterprise Seasons 3 and 4 so what's your point here? 3) He was never a big Trek fan before he joined the show so maybe he wasn't involved in continuity as much but he did a pretty damn good job allowing the continuity the shows had so that turned out ok. 4) So do the other writers, your point? 5) I definitely don't see how. It's nothing like TNG. 6) Oh shit! He was going to use the Akira class without modifications? Heaven forbid! Seriously that's a complaint you have as to why he wasn't fit to run the show? 7) Garrett "Wang" has never said as such. He's complained about Rick Berman but Wang hasn't been the most reliable on Trek either so who knows who's right and who's wrong? 8) When people like you are dissing the show it's only human to ignore what you don't want to hear. "You can't see that these two men's creativity eventually dragged Trek down after they got control." You sound like a greedy fan and obviously Trek did something right to last past TNG's 1994 end so who is exactly wrong here? Not me from what I just said. "One takes it's self seriously they others turn into cliches." So DS9, Voyager and Enterprise don't take themselves seriously? You really don't like Star Trek do you. You don't seem to know much about it.
P Ferreira -To this DAY the best selling Trek Series Music is BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. Would you like to guess who wrote it? If star wars had this concept of music it wouldn't NEARLY be as popular with out John Williams. Berman is a creative idiot. -Great? Nothing 'Great happened in Brothers. It was flat and boring. The episode leans on Spiner's performance in 3 DIFFERENT ROLES and leaves the rest of the crew to fumble around in the dark. That's a horrid B story line. You don't write for only one person. An actor acting with himself ISN'T COMPELLING OR GREAT. And Great is the wrong word for this amount of mediocrity. No one has every called this great story telling but you. -He was better in the background not making creativity choices. He did better with hiring and management. There is a reason he hasn't worked since 2005. -When you can't write you make time travel episodes like First Contact, Futures End and Generations. When you can write you make Time Travel Episodes like the edge of tomorrow, Relativity, The Voyage Home. That's the entire point. Why does have to be pointed out to you? -I can't make you see what's obvious or listen to what everyone has said about this before. -Didn't you just say you can't see how ENT is a rip-off of TNG. Akira IS TNG. We're talking creativity here why are you losing these concepts so quickly? You're coming off as denser than iron.... -He absolutely did say it and much more: "It was during this lunch that Berman informed us that he expected all actors portraying human roles to follow his decree. He told us that we were to underplay our human characters. He wanted our line delivery to be as military -- and subsequently devoid of emotion -- as possible, since this, in his opinion, was the only way to make the aliens look real." This is what it means to be not a trek fan but a true an objective critic. Which clearly you have no interest in and as a consequence you're not intrested in good Trek but rather you want Trek at all cost. Even if it's the cost of quality. We couldn't have less in common.
Loved Enterprise despite the problems it had and I am glad to be one of it's fans it had the best cast the best acting and I loved the fact it showed the evolution of Star Fleet and the Federation. I am still angry it was axed even in it's worst moments it still was great TV :(
really I agree, but honestly timing was a big problem with the show, franchise fatigue was a serious issue at that point. if season 1/2 were better it may have been kept going, and rating were growing towards the end but it still got canned which honestly is kind of dumb. If the show was releasing today rather then STD I think it would be well received(assuming the 1st season was of the 3rd seasons quality).
@@pattelino9466 me either, it was a struggle at times and I wonder how it got 5 seasons before it got cancelled. I think I watched in hope because it was star trek it might "improve" but that was just wishful thinking lol. Some of the creative choices were very laughable and who told the actress who played Burnham to whisper all her dialogue and to cry on que should never work in television again! When you look at discovery, it's not really star trek, you could take in the references away from it, call it discovery and it would still be a generic scfi you'd find on netflix, they changed so much of it, look and feel. They had to redesign so much, It was just star trek by name only. The look of the Klingons was so different, it could've been called another generic alien race, you wouldn't even think they were meant to be Klingons for example. The show runners wanted to ignore what was established, especially the original two who were sacked for bullying. They clearly didn't what they had
The premise of Enterprise was so exciting. It never made sense to me why more people weren't on board. Still, there were numerous missed opportunities with Enterprise, particularly with the first two seasons.
it was super boring. the two most interesting characters were the pilot and the translator who they never did anything with. also strangely they were minority characters.
The Trellium-D addiction was a great idea as an excuse for her to deal with her emotional instability and contrary to popular opinion, I think Jolene Blaylock played a great, multilayered Vulcan.
Great Ideas for ST? Yes. Good implementation? Definetely not! Storytelling? Weak! Discuvery? Sucks! Picard? Not Star Trek! Voyager? Fear writing ! DS9? Last Star Trek Made thanks to Ira Steven Behs!
one of my first childhood memories is seeing Kirk fight the gorn in the early 80`s . i watched TNG all the way through to Voyager new . When ENT started i hated it and condemned it within the first three episodes and never looked back until about 5 years ago . It is a good show . im not sure if its a age brings wisdom thing or i was so sick of Voyager at the time . Seeing all 4 seasons now, it didn't deserve to be cancelled and it deserved a better finale . Great interview with great insights . Thanks or uploading this .
56:30 -At this time, Brannon (using idea's he created w Rick Berman), imagines a wicked sci-fi time travel show...retro and future style blended together. Amazing idea. No wonder people hire this guy.
Enterprise was brilliant as a pioneering Trek series. I saw it just as Rick Berman wanted me to - as the story of how we get from First Contact to the NCC-1701. I even liked the opening credits because they showed scenes of things that were part of my life, even if I was very young. I only wish that you had been given more seasons, at least one more in which you could explore the Romulans. Their interference in the Vulcan High Command was awesome for explaining at least in part why the Vulcans were so insufferable at times. And I noticed you followed what Spock had said in "Balance of Terror" about humans and Romulans having never seen each other.
This is an excellent interview and has given me a much greater understanding of why Enterprise was cancelled. I've recently re-watched the entire series, along with all of the other series, and I'd say Enterprise stands up with the very best of them. It's my favourite personally. Such a shame they weren't able to do 2 or 3 more seasons of it, because it was really an excellent show from mid way through the 2nd season onwards.
Dylan Blue enterprise was done very well. The writers of the series were getting in their writing grooves around the third season. Had they gone on the writing and episodes wood have been better.
This is a really good interview! I'm sorry Rick and Brannon don't get more love. I really appreciate what they did for Star Trek. Thank you for this interview.
These guys worked so hard. It's sad that their memories are bittersweet. They are so many trolls in ST fandom living beneath their mother's basement! Berman and Braga deserve credit. Star Trek was a great series, and their contributions will be remembered as excellent television..
So why is DS9, the only one without Bermaga interference, often cited as the best Trek by fans? Why is it the only one with meaningful character growth, repercussions for their decisions? Why did nearly every battle scene in DS9 mean something and why was there a total lack of "This is OUR space debris, leave or we open fire!" aliens of the week? DS9 also had the greatest villain in Gul Dukat. Who did Rick Berman present us with?
+Adam McLaughlin - Many people like DS9, and that's great, but many others do not, and I am one of them. It's the one ST series I never bothered to finish watching. After a while the interminable wars, political and religious intrigues, broken alliances and such - it just got tiresome. I cared about none of the characters, which is the worst possible thing you can say about Star Trek. TOS and TNG's greatest strengths were their characters. DS9 forgot this. Its crew couldn't have been less interesting. Of all the Star Trek series, DS9 is the one that seems the least like what Star Trek is supposed to be about.
+Laughing Gravy yet for every good episode of TNG, there is 5 bad episodes not to mention once a big event happens in TNG it is never heard of again(for the most part, there are exceptions but they are exactly that exceptions)
@@adammclaughlin845 Braga wrote some of the best episodes ever made. He wrote all good things in about a week, which is usually said to be the greatest Trek episode ever made. Berman made all executive decisions for ALL the series . He hired writer like behr who wrote such great Deep Space Nine episodes. He is the reason star Trek and Gene Roddenberrys visions endured so many years.
For some reason, many of greatest SyFy TV shows are smothered in the cradle. “Dark Angel”, “Dark Matter”, “Enterprise”, and of course, “Firefly”. There are others. Yes, some of these shows had shakey ratings, but usually that could be attributed to mishandling by their networks.
Regarding the Theme song of Enterprise - if I remember correctly 1st episode aired about two weeks or a month after 911, it sounded hella patriotic and fitting
Well, you have to give them the credit they deserve. Even if we disagree with the direction they took Enterprise into, they are responsible for the creation of amazing moments in television. I am among the people that think that Manny Coto's season is great, and after watching this it is clear that neither Braga nor Berman think that way. At this point, so many years later, so much water has gone under the bridge that I think it's time to move on and recognize that Enterprise (Or Star Trek: Enterprise) was indeed a great show that didn't get the support it needed.
I don't think it's clear from this that they dislike Manny Coto's season at all. What they are is bemused that fans would hail Coto as the show's creative savior while denigrating their meaningful contributions (and Coto himself described season 4 as essentially having "three showrunners." Enterprise season 3 is their last great hurrah on their own and it's pretty strong stuff.
Season four showed more of an understanding of dramatic strategy. But what worked about it is that it pulled from the first three seasons and started tying things together. It used the material, but with a little more dramatic skill.
I just want to say thank you so much to Rick Berman and everyone else involved with Star Trek. If it weren't for the insane amount of dedication they put in, star trek probably would have ended for good with TNG season one or two. The mess that was happening behind the scenes with Gene Roddenberry (Sadly losing his mind and physical health), Genes Laywer, Maurice Hurley and others almost destroyed it. Rick Berman get's a lot of criticism for the shows, which I don't get as it's because of him and his team we got this wonderful universe. They saved it and made it what it is today. I thought enterprise is one of the best star trek shows made, it was new and interesting. It didn't rely on voyager's downfall of telling the "Same old thing in brand new drag" approach. (Although, I did really like Voyager as well :)) Tbh, I'd love to see a tv/netflix movie showing enterprise 10 years later, maybe a made for tv movie or two showing the rise of the Federation/ Romulan war and setting the stage for ST Discovery. They could help fuel each other and help bridge the gap. Maybe get older fans more on board with the new show.
Curious if you would've said that back then. Everyone seems to want to change history and praise Berman and Braga when they were hated just as much as the current administration.
There is a FB campaign for Netflix to so it...but CBS...well....I can see CBS as the BORG really....you will be assimilated. lol....fuckers are unreal...Les Moonves...piece of shit.
This was great. I've always blamed UPN for rushing Enterprise into production. I've read Enterprise's bible, and they only really had the bare bones of the characters and the world. They needed more time to rewrite. Kate Mulgrew says they were taking down Voyager sets right after she filmed her last scene. They were putting up the Enterprise sets to film next week. It was that fast. Berman and Braga shouldn't be totally blamed for killing Star Trek. I just wish I could go back in time and warn these two guys about all the shit that was gonna go wrong, and pitch my idea for the Alpha Flyer---Starfleet's first experimental warp-capable shuttlecraft (which Tom Paris would later base the Delta Flyer on, for historical reference purposes, as he was one to do, including manual controls, same as the Alpha Flyer).
Enterprise was great wish it would have continued. We miss those Berman and Branon days too. The best era of Trek in my opinion from the 90s to the early 2000s, nothing comes close. Still waiting for Rick Berman's memoir book to come out too.
When one of your bosses is so detached from the work and so lacking in common sense that they don't even know what a "hull" is... you have to wonder who's nephew are they that they managed to get and keep their job.
Agreed. When a corporate executive proves that they completely wasted their daddy's money getting that "liberal arts" degree, the education that was supposed to give them wide exposure to a variety of fields (including history) so that they can at least understand the basics when communicating with other people........you know that the boss is unworthy.
I'm really sorry, these guys got so much hate. They were honestly doing what they thought was best for the franchise. They seemed to really care for the franchise. I feel bad particularly for Braga, because the whole thing clearly left many emotional scars...
Yeah to hear Brannon Braga talk about this here and on the the Enterprise Blu-Ray extras, you can tell he was incredibly passionate about Star Trek, and he was really hurt by the people crapping on his episodes. People like to demonize these guys but deify Roddenberry, when the best Star Trek was done after his death in my opinion. The later seasons of Next Generation, the later episodes of DS9, even the fun last season of Enterprise were great TV.
Maybe they shouldn't cast the character just thinking as "the beautiful woman," respectfully. And I've heard that Berman was a raging homophobe. I deeply truly hope that's not true.
@@fgdj2000 It's something he says in this very video lol. Did you not watch the whole thing? I don't remeber the time stamp but its when they were discussing casting Enterprise so he must've been referring to Jolene and perhaps generally also alluding to others like Jeri Ryan...And inthink youll agree if that's how theyre thinking that explains the sexist and or crass and or trashy outifts they cast those actresses in..at least initially
Loved the show and was hoping for a few more years of it. These two guys really wrote some great stories. Yes some were week, but over all I felt it was cancelled to soon.
I was compelled to watch this whole hour and how wonderful_ I think if there is a common denominator one could draw for working well together and maybe Discovery would as well-Have A Safe Place to work-You have to feel that you are appreciated and that you make a difference. The Men had the courage to not always listen to every fan but fight for a good story, honor the Franchise, maintain Character Integrity as far as SCiFi might allow. Thank you guys!
The crew has to be brought back for the Romulan War and the birth of the federation. Still so much potential and times have changed. Discovery is displaced from the Star Trek universe. ENT is the essence.
I remember the lead up to ENT being launched, and the care taken to meet Studio demands. Such as making it "sexier" for a 2000s audience (hence the decon chamber). The Studio never got it and never took the time to understand it. By the last season the Studio had given up and relegated ENT to the Friday Night Death Slot in the last season. So the show was getting no help from the Studio. It had 4 very fine episodes despite this. I hate hearing Braga and Bergman bag the show now. When it's shown it has endured and found new audiences. It was of its time and it totally nailed the concept of "Star Trek's Right Stuff".
No it didn’t. Also I hated FIRST CONTACT because it ruined Cochrane and should’ve been like THE RIGHT STUFF. Ironically I like the episode FIRST FLIGHT. That’s how it should have gone. Also how backwards and stupid humans were in this. Everyone else...even the KLINGONS were more advanced. TOS made it out like everyone was even (except godlike beings).
I love how honest this is. Seems as though the show could've been The Expanse if not for the studio being absolutely terrified by any notion of risk-taking.
No wonder this temporal war story lead nowhere, when the writers didn't even know themselves, who this guy from the future was and why he appeared there. What kind of concept is that????? But I like the Enterprise crew (great actors and very likeable characters) and most of the series (Shran! The moving Andorian antennas, Porthos, ...) a lot. I'd like it to be continued as a series or a movie.
It looked and felt like Star Trek, I loved the characters, love Archer as Captain. And loved the feel. And at least they made an effort to make this series look like it came before TOS. unlike Discovery. Was very disappointed when it ended early.
EVER SINCE I'VE BEEN A FAN OF STAR TREK SINCE 1987, I JUST LOVED STAR STREK ENTERPRISE. THE IDEA OF A PREQUEL TO SHOW THE FIRST CREW, WITH THE CAPTAIN OF THE VERY FIRST STARSHIP ENTERPRISE NX-=01, WHICH I ACTUALLY HAVE. AND, THE SONG IS GREAT TOO. RICK BERMAN AND BRANNON BRAGA HAVE DONE A FANTASTIC JOB WITH THIS SHOW. BUT, ALL THE HARDWORK GOES TO RICK, WHO HAS CARRIED STAR TREK FOR 18 YEARS, FOR GENE RODDENBERRY.
These guys didn't kill Star Trek. It's ridiculous to even say that. Enterprise had A LOT working against it and even for all of its faults, ST Enterprise is still worth watching all 4 seasons. IMO Season 3 is one of the best, if not the best season in Star Trek history. Nothing is ever perfect, but Enterprise has enough good that makes it worthwhile and ultimately a great series. It's hard to not be a fan of Star Trek in any iteration. Except for of course the JJ Abrams movies which as terrible.
season 3 and 4 of ENT were as good as trek ever got, and well I understand the hate of the JJ movies, there is good there(actually a lot of good) it is just too high energy too much fast cuts talky scenes(one of the more important parts of any trek) feel rushed to get to the next explosion, they work well enough but if they just slowed down a bit they could have been great and either way they are better then voyager or most of the TNG movies.
@@kinggoten Nope. ENT is mediocre on just about every level. It's at least more unique than VOY, which was a more bland version of TNG, but pretty much every episode revolves around mindless action. Remember that gel scene? That's the level of intelligence that went into every episode. Only thing remotely good about the series is its again, somewhat unique premise, and the exploration of Vulcans, and the Vulcan main character we get is probably the worst one yet.
+Herb Sewell you're welcome to your opinion of course, but I disagree. However I am curious how would you rank the TV shows? for me... 1st DS9 2nd ENT 3rd TNG 4th STD 5th ToS(Love ToS Movies hate the series) 6th Voy yes I enjoyed season 1 STD more then ToS I cannot stand the camp of ToS, and well I would love to have TNG 2nd after rewatching around 5 months ago it is mostly boring(esp those first 2 seasons omg so bad) overall yes there is great episodes but for every great episode there is 5 terrible or average episodes.
I always liked the Enterprise theme song; they could even have gone a little further and used "Magic Carpet Ride" like in STFC; I was a little weary of the lofty, operatic themes, as it was making the shows seem too serious and 'stately".

They did a good job and yes, Enterprise should have run its proper course. Thank you for all the great Trek content, gents.
I loved enterprise, some star trek fans didn't get the events of first contact altered the timeline this was one of my favourite series in the franchise Rick Berman and Brannon Braga should of still been incharge of current star trek shows because right now it isn't good .
As much as I admire Berman and Braga and what they did for Star Trek... Manny Coto should have been the Showrunner for ENT from the start. Heck, B&B even admit themselves that, had they discovered him sooner, they would have given him the job starting with the first episode. Coto absolutely had the right ideas regarding this show and, combined with the knowledge of Garfield & Judith Reese-Stevens, made Season 4 one of the best of all of Trek.
Gentlemen, apologies and kudos. I did not like the theme song. When the 1st episode aired, and the song kicked in, I was like "what the f is this"?! For the reason you expressed - it was too much of a departure from what came before. Over time, I came to embrace it and appreciate the lyrics as they relate to the show. Had similar reaction to early Next Generation. Like Roddenberry, I was not welcoming to a balding British Shakespearean actor playing a French captain. One settles down...gives new ideas a chance, and most of the time it turns out okay or even spectacular. In 1987, Picard couldn't hold Kirk's jock strap. By 1994, it was a neck and neck debate on who was the better captain! I truly appreciate what you did with the Star Trek universe. I would like to say that everything I do, everyday, is a gem. It's not. There are things that don't work as I would like them for various reasons. I would like to have your batting average in terms of what you created, that time has deemed successful and satisfying. Star Trek is us...but it is fantasy, too. And we live in a reality-based world. Well...most of us...some of us? I have heard and seen people write that Star Trek doesn't exist without Nimoy, Doohan, Kelley, etc. and that they didn't watch anything past the OS. Bashing any of the iterations, whether in cinema or TV is empty-headed. I'll take a struggling Star Trek-based show any day, with the hope that it will right itself and find it's legs, than go for years without seeing what's happening in that universe. Thank you, again, to you Rick Berman & Brannon Braga. You were insanely successful and you brought joy, excitement, and more into my life with your stories of this Star Trek universe that I discovered back in the 1960's.
Besides the ending and those two random alternative episodes it was a great series. Obviously they dropped the ball... But it could still pick up even today on Netflix original. I rather see what happens when Starfleet has Colombia out there and all negotiations between new species...
43:36 - I agree with everything Brannon says here hands down. Personally as one of the more, shall I say 'masculine' Star Trek fans (love all of you my brothers and sisters!), Enterprise was a brilliant show and the best television I've seen. I thought it was the most realistic and humane of all the series, and being a hot-blooded alpha male I could relate to the gym scenes, the ramped up sexiness, topless sports, etc. more than any of the other Star Trek series. Ten years later and I'm still bitter! Every one of those CBS muthafuckas needs to crawl into a ditch and stay there for cancelling Enterprise the way they did.
CBS didn't cancel it, it wasn't even on CBS, it was on the now defunct UPN Network, they are the ones who cancelled it, them and Paramount which is who owned the UPN network.
Yikes, these guys really seem like they're recovering from PTSD. The fans were way too harsh. Yeah, there were some missteps from these two which they both freely admit here (messy 1st season Enterprise, the Enterprise theme song, Generations, plus "These Are the Voyages", "Threshold", "Sub Rosa", etc.), but they were partly responsible for the great things too. And nobody is forced to watch the small amount of crap either. Just pretend it doesn't exist? I like their constant trolling of Manny Coto btw. Also, with Alex Kurtzman at the helm now, it makes B&B look like Shakespeare & Ben Jonson. Kurtzman's writing comes across as a kid with ADHD and a learning disability.
Yeah Enterprise was good. Just a couple of things need to happen for it to continue was one they need to bring better writers that need to happen and moving from Wednesday time slot to either Monday or weekend time slots and Enterprise might have made all 7 season.
No it was bad. Bakula was at his worse more actors on ENTERPRISE were more bad than good. The writing was extremely substandard and that's because Berman and Braga wrote nearly all of the first two seasons themselves.
The beebs destroyed this show. I had such high hopes for it, and unlike many, MANY so-called Trekkies at the time, I stuck with the show through the last episode, I went to Paramount after the third season and BEGGED them to not cancel it... and I fought for the show along with other fans who WERE watching along with me. We were not enough. NOT ENOUGH. And I believe these two men made series of decisions day after day, week after week, month after month, and yes year after year that destroyed the show and ruined the hopes we had for the franchise. Truth and you all know it.
I liked most of season 3 and season 4 was solid. Definitely should have had a couple more seasons. Also Porthos is the best. One caveat: the finale with fat Jonathan Frakes was terrible.
The Xindi arc was awesome and the executive decision to stop making stand alone, one-off episodes and instead, make a longer, layered storyline is what saved the show on my opinion.
Loved enterprise . I thought the theme was perfect for that incarnation. They talk manny Coto trying to save the show, I didn't care for the 4th season.
Love how in interviews, Bermaga blame everyone (in fairness, they do rarely also blame themselves) for Enterprise's failure, while also claiming that Bermaga still did have a lot of creative control. You can't blame the networks for shitty dialogue, an insipid and pointless use of the temporal cold war and total lack of meaningful character growth, or even utilisation of most characters. They might have had stupid restrictions from the network but Berman had been enforcing his own mindlessly stupid and anti-competitive rules from the time he took over.
It does say something that Star Trek only really started having difficulties (at least back in the 90's and early 2000's) when UPN became a thing and UPN's executives were able to exert a lot more direct control (since they had a interest in Voyager and later Enterprise bringing ratings to UPN). Obviously there were more factors at play but as a whole, I have found that the more I learn about Berman and Braga's time in Trek, the less simple it is to blame them for the franchise's failures arbitrarily.
discovery, picard, lower decks, prodigy, strange new worlds, and section 31. there's 6 shows being produced in some form right now, the most in star trek history. doesn't seem like it's killed or destroyed
@@aaronsibley That's the thing - all you ever hear is how this one or that one is destroying it. Yet here we are. More material than ever. Guess they just mean it's destroying their favorite incarnation of the franchise?
I love the theme song in Enterprise, yeah it's jarring at first, but so are NASA-style jumpsuits, but it sets the show apart but it's also inspiring and fits the mood. I agree with Braga about the end credits. Generations was terrible though, seriously. Picard went back in time to right before the fight instead of like two weeks back and srsly what was with that hostage exchange? It makes no sense. I'm sorry but it's just nonsense, not to mention what came after it was not much better. That said, Berman & Braga created lots of awesome trek, Enterprise included, it's really unfair that it got cancelled, i mean, Next Gen had a fair bit of stinkers in the first two seasons, and Enterprise was kinda better in it's first two seasons, relatively speaking, the studio should've dealt with any problems and any things they were unhappy with and they would have had a cult show on their hands with all the moneys they wanted in revenue instead of the stinker that is Discovery that nobody likes. I'm really glad these guys had fun writing the episodes that i had fun watching.
Maybe it's because I associate Enterprise with a period of my life but it's my favorite Star Trek. Underrated and unfairly maligned and the Manny Coto season was so damn good. It deserved another season or two or at the least a better finale than it got.
I love Enterprise and you guys deserve a lot of credit for keeping it alive for 4 years. But that opening theme sucked. And the final episode is unwatchable
