Happy to have first watched Enterprise more than ten years after its initial run.
Let me watch it objectively without too much influencing from outside…
I’m watching it for the first time, almost at the end of s3. Honestly it’s pretty decent. The Xindi stuff was on shaky ground for a while, but they recovered. It’s good, but I haven’t had any episodes stand out as particularly excellent or terrible
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.
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.)
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 wish I had watched it when it first came out. I was one of those who lsitened to others saying it wasn’t good. Since I was deployed I couldn’t watch it live so I never did watch it until about a decade later. Now it’s one of my top ten favorite trek series.
I largely agree with you here, with the exception of VOY.
Only Trek series I had to force myself through (even omitting an especially bad season almost completely - I think it was season 2…?).
Didn’t watch Discovery yet, though, and not sure if I should… ;-)

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.
Yes, heard that take before!
Probably the reason I hated it.
Just not what I am watching Star Trek for…

Still over all enjoyed enterprise.

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.
The one where they’re naked in the blue room or whatever
The one where the dog might die

I kid, it’s #4 behind VOY, DS9, and TNG
