Well I will defend it.. As badly produced as it was by B&B.. I found it a breath of fresh air to find out how the world worked before Kirk and Picards time!.. For me, as much as I love Stewarts Picard character, i just found that TNG DS9 and Voyager had gone too well, futuristic and advanced..
Every episode seemed to be the same, and at the last minute, they would try this, or try that, and warp this energy signal, and blah, de dad, de dah.. They always got out of a situation by doing something miraculous and enginious, always at the last minute!..I was starting to feel as though there was nothing that they couldnt do, and that us humans must have been the smartest things flying around in space. Because we always saved the day!..
At least with Enterprise, they basically had thier balls in thier hands, and had to roll with the punches.. The time travel stuff was a bore.. But the rest of it was nice to see!.. I will miss it!.. To see them use a transporter work for the first time, and to have them scared of it.. Seeing Malcolms face light up when they worked out about Photon Torpedos and high energy phasers and the like.. That stuff is always cool.. TNG always had all this neat stuff.. But how did they get it?.. It didnt just appear.. So Enterprise was good like that in a way!.. So dont go bagging it.. B&B never gave it a chance.. Blame them if you dont like... I will leave with this final word.. Atleast Enterprise was new, and fresh.. I know that Star Trek has been around for 30 years. But Enterprise was covering something never done before.. On the other hand. Battlestar Galactica is a re-hash.. And in my opinion, a really bad one!.. Richard Hatch's version was always going to get my vote.. But, that doesnt really matter, as most the people watching it now, would never have seen or known about the original.. And i dont incluse us in that.. We are the minority!.. It was developed for a new audience in mind in my opinion..
