I have never sat down and watched it. The whole reason I haven't is because it doesn't fit into the Trek continuity that has been laid out for years.

There have been some entertaining episodes, but I think they have really stretched it in the third season with the constant time travelling plot.

For me, its the writing. The actors are great, but they don't always have the best material to work with. I think they wanted to make that inital first season rush to get the "familiar" elements out of the way - Klingons, Vulcans, first transport of a human, prototypes of phasers, etc - then immediately proceeded to ignore most of the rest of classic trek (occasionally pulling something back to get popularity boosts).
The biggest problem (other than Braga running the show) is that they conceived the show by trying to pull in the Dawson's Creek viewing audience, and couldn't understand why they still kept pulling in the same fans as every other ST show ....

Well, they changed stuff after Season 1 of the show. They tried less to reinvent things and events & started working on their own main story. The thing i don't like is how the writing has had to grab a crutch of late. DS9 had to lean on the war its last two season. Voyager's series concept was about "getting home" & a lot of the episodes were very far-stretched early on. (Then the Borg carried the series quite a bit) Now Enterprise has to lean on the temporal prime directive and time travel to come up with plots. What ever happened to TNG and just having GOOD episodes that could survive on their own? It's a shame, really. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Seasons 1 and 2 were good, but the Xindi thing just went on far too long in 3. The episodes were starting to look very similar...the many and varied moods of Archer (livid, angry, vengeful, grouchy, wrathful), deja vu-inducing fistfights with Xindi, and lots of dying crewmembers. Then there was the whole druggie-T'Pol thing... ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) But, in spite of all that, it had it's redeeming qualities (I love the whole Andorian thing) It's Trek, it's good, so I watch it. I have high hopes for the 4th season now that the Xindi are more or less out of the way. I hope. I want to figure out who the blue catfish-faced guy was at the end of the season finale too...
