    That’s it: Overall pretty solid.
    E.g. definitely better first season than TNG.
    Xindi was crap imho, but some really good stuff in season 4.
    I was sad that they didn’t produce more after that.

      The Xindi arc has value as a snapshot of american mindset post 9-11. Justifying torture as an answer to terrorist act in a Star Trek series was wild.

      I’m just gonna say it. When writing things, you should never fuck with time. There are very good shows that do a good job of it, without it becoming the answer to everything.

      Star Trek is not one of those shows. (Dr. who, comes to mind.)

      Still over all enjoyed enterprise.

        The time loop episode of TNG (Cause and Effect) is one of my favourite things I have ever watched. But that doesn’t affect the overall timeline so I don’t think it counts against your argument, which I agree with.

          I swear, you can check the IMDb page for just about any sci-fi series, and there is about a 50% chance the top rated episode is a time loop episode.

            In the case of Voyager, the top is s6e12 “Blink of an Eye” which involves a time-dilated planet. So, close enough.
