Who likes star trek enterprise?

I don't really like Enterprise at all. Take for example the last episode with Hoshi (i don't even like her) disapearring. Is it me or is that almost a blatant rip off from an episode in TNG? That episode where a group of 'villagers' are able to defeat a group of trained Klingon soldiers. I mean how ridiculous and cliche is that? And how many times has it been done? That episode involving archrs dog was fairly dumb too. The guy brings a dog down to a foreign planet and doesn't the dog start pissing everywhere? That' sjust so diplomatic. And they try to make archer seem like he has character by making a stubborn fool. Many episodes have just been copied and unoriginal. The 2nd season seems even worse. Instead of building on the main plot or anything of any value. They just keep playing these nonsensical episodes that don't involve anything!!! where are the romulans and klingons? The only character i even remotely like is T'pol. Can't stand her name though. I'd ratehr watch reruns of TNG!!!
 
Nice quality notfred, how about burning them to CDR's and send them to me, I'll gladly ship you a spindle 🙂

Actually from the commercial it seems like a rip-off of several "transporter gone bad" episodes from the original Trek 😛

The few episodes of the show I've seen almost makes Andromeda look good 🙂 though it is better than Mutant X. But then so is staring at the wall for an hour.
 
I thought they screwed up the episode ending by just having the typical, "Oops, sorry about that, wont happen again next time" kind of explanation. I would have liked this episode a lot more if they found a fatal flaw with the transporter and took it permanently offline for the remainder of the series. That would have been great.

i like it, all the star treks had a shakey first season. this one had its best start, season has been pretty good.
 
I like it because it's Star Trek. It fills my need for ST, even though it may be flawed in many ways and certainly not the best production in the entire ST franchise.

If your trekie enough, and good enough at deconstructing a story, you can probably find a recycled plot structure behind every Enterprise episode to date. They seem to be taking the bare-bones plot from former series and just adding enough differences to make it look original to the casual observer.

And the ending to last weeks "vanishing Hoshi" episode was such a cheap cop-out. I was actually getting into it and was excited to see how little Hoshi would save the ship. But then they go, "oh, it was all just a dream!"

There is a literary device known as "Deus Ex Machina" which comes from the Latin for "god from a machine" and essentially means the intervention of a nonhuman force to resolve a seemingly unresolvable conflict. This is pretty much what they did with that it-was-all-just-a-dream-ending.

They could have shown some major character development for mousy little Hoshi after mustering up the courage and the cleverness to save the ship. I think the writers did what they did because they want to start making more use of the transporter in upcoming episodes and they felt a transporter disaster such as this one would have shut that down. I still think they could have gone a long way with character development by having the crew somehow overcome the disaster and still convince Starfleet that the transporters were still worth using as human transportation devices.

The biggest flaw with Star Trek: Enterprise is simply poor writing.
