Gonna take a run at the pilot (at least) of Star Trek: Enterprise. Haven't seen it since it aired. Pray for me. (SMG, you are welcome to distract me with arguments about how this is a sequel to Picard or some drat thing.)

Lmao laser shotgun. (Not phasers, right?) Oh god this song is worse than I remembered. It's a shame because the opening credit sequence is visually so good.

Oh, okay, plasma shotgun. The Klingon is called Klaang. Okay fine we'll do that. Vulcan underling sounds like Jeffrey Combs (but isn't, I think)

Captain Archer's not wrong but he's kind of an rear end, and not in a fun way.

Cute dog, at least. I remember almost nothing about the crew except (barely) their names though I did remember that the one dude used to be a civilian spacer. If I'd never seen them before, Hoshi's the only one I'd be interested in learning more about because linguistics nerd is more interesting than "dude", "uptight British dude", "southern accent dude", and "Vulcan lady in skin-tight outfit because this is that era of Star Trek".

Oh hey they got James Cromwell to do The Speech, that's mildly cool, in a sea of blah blah blah. I kind of dig the design of the old new Enterprise though it lacks the appeal of Classic 23rd Century Design. Oh good echoing alien blah blah blah now.

I don't think I'll livepost every episode like this. So, uh, yeah. I liked the actual story once it got underway though the temporal cold war stuff was completely unnecessary and shows, I feel, a complete lack of faith in the premise of "early Federation space exploration". (And that's probably exactly what it was, so much of this screams of "written according to network suit mandates). The decontamination stuff is just completely embarrassing. Like, if you want people to be sexy on your space show that is ostensibly for adults, just have them be sexy, this feels like it was written by, and for, horny fourteen-year-olds. The dialogue was bad, most of the characters were bad, the theme song was bad, but there's some potential here. (And yes I know most of it goes unrealized until maybe the last season.) KLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG hahahaha oh lord.

Anyways it's a shame Enterprise didn't get like an extra season before getting canned because they honestly could have wrapped it up in a fifth season. That said good lord is the first season dire.

The first time I sat down and watched Enterprise almost every single episode of the first two seasons started off with me really enjoying it and then it turned to poo poo at almost precisely the halfway mark. It was like clockwork. Start with a cool unique premise appropriate for the time and concept of Starfleet's First Days, halfway through switch to a garbage tier Voyager episode.

The only good thing about Enterprise is the jarring contrast between the opening and the titles. Sometimes you get thrilling cliffhangers like 'a crew member is relaxing on their own and gets called to the bridge', other times you get tryhard grimness with a hard cut to upbeat soft rock.
