And yet it's still far far far better than "Enterprise" and the
horrible reboot movies. :-(
Enterprise wasn't a terrible show, IMO. It just didn't feel like Star
Trek.
"Is it a good show?" and "Is it good SF?" and "Is it good Star Trek?"
are three different questions. I aim for two out of three.
The problem is it *was* meant to be part of the Star Trek franchise
(depsite not including "Star Trek" in the show's title) and it simply
did not even remotely fit.
If they had called the show and characters by new names and not had it
as part of the Star Trek franchise, then it may or may not have been
any good as a sci-fi TV show - that wouldbe personal opinion and the
idiotic "oil me 'up Scotty" scenes would still have stopped me
bothering to watch it.
"The Orville" was better "Star Trek" than any of the newer stuff, and
that is not part of Star Trek franchise.
