Apart from seeing the odd episode here and there I have mostly avoided this Star Trek series as I wasn't interested in buying out-dated VHS and I missed the TV broadcasts. Naturally I ordered the DVDs the second they became available but, due to negative comments, delayed watching them...until now.
And I have to say I am at a complete loss as to why it was so unpopular/hated. The stories are decent enough (only seen series 1 and 2 at the moment though) - the 'pre-Trek' angle gives a good twist on what is essential standard Trek fare. The characters are OK (no more wooden than Voyager!). And the title sequence has to be the best Trek has ever offered - it really expresses what Trek is all about IMHO. And the special effects are pretty decent to!
Perhaps I am more forgiving of this series now I have been 'starved' of Trek for the best part of five years (was it really that long ago Voyager ended? ). However watching Enterprise here and now it gets a big from me.
