Criminally underrated show. Especially after 2nd season it became really good. They should have made at least a 5th season depicting Earth-Romulan wars and complete it with Archer elected Federation president.
@@blackstoneriverworkshop7167 Read that he was going to do a reboot of "Quantum Leap" instead. I remember someone saying that the "Enterprise" actors were too old. Dean Stockwell's much older now and Scott's only 7 months older than I am (65). The rest are younger so the "Enterprise" actors aren't too old YET.
I Realy like the Romulans in this series........i don't understand, so many Good caracters and the canceled.......i think that com. Shran would have somethings to say about that!!!......…..i love that guy!!!
@@-M0LE i would say more detailed. Voyager usually only had a handful of ships at once so they could focus more on the ships. Enterprise and especially deep space nine, had larger battles with much greater stakes.
T'Pol "The power readings from weapon are increasing" Reed "They're preparing to launch" Archer knows what he has to do. Archer "Get us close Travis" Maywweather "What about the anomalies" Archer "I said take us in" Archer determined to save Earth. Great scene.
Anyone who didn't like the Xindi story arc doesn't know a good story arc. True it was created in order to boost ratings, but it was still a damn good story arc with good story telling, good characters, good drama, and some epic action.
My complaint with the whole Xindi story arc was the fact that it completely ignored canon and ripped off Star Wars. If Xindi had been introduced as just another new species, that would have been fine with me, but the fact that they were able to attack Earth and create a Death Star rip off and no one mentioned it in the Original Series, Next Generation, Voyager, or DS9 is what annoyed me
I'm not ashamed to admit it, enterprise is my favorite star trek franchise. it's ashame they cancelled it especially when the show was really hitting it's stride and I became invested in the characters. it's time they brought back a star trek series, it's what the world is missing
This battle was the moment when I went all in on Enterprise: The battered ship and crew battling for all they have left and their new friends helping them to save Earth. And the show itself was finally, at long last, firing on all cylinders.
@@TheEDFLegacy that's what Ronald D. Moore said. Should it be a total battered wreck like Equinox, the science ship? No, because Voyager was a state of the art post-359 starship, and Intrepid class ships more than likely saw action against the Dominion, but there had to be a happy medium between battered wreck, and pristine.
This was the biggest battle since the Dominion War. I know it takes place before the Dominion War, but since ENT was the last TV series created, that was my thoughts back then
The creatures here look very similar to the shape-shifters perhaps it is them, Just in the far future they decided to do the good ol' hitler on everyone again... so the traveled back, Remember they did say the federation fighted them MULTIPLE times in the PAST.
I thought the Xindi as 5 different species that simultaneously evolved intelligence on the same planet was a really cool idea for sci-fi in general, although scientists might disagree on the probability of it in real life. Actually I should have said 6 species, since the avians went extinct. Also I like the fact that (with the exception of the Xindi Primates) the other guys look a little more different than the typical Star Trek “forehead of the week”.
Unless there were 5 large land masses that separated long enough back in history for a species to gain sentience on each one. The aquatics were isolated enough to evolve in the ocean.
@@si2foo Why not? According to our currently accepted timeline, Humans and Neanderthals existed at the same time (rather, one evolutionary step down from modern Humans)... If Neanderthals hadn't been wiped out by whatever killed them we might have become a planet of 2 coexisting sentient species.
Season 3 is the best season. The Xindi Arc is amazing. Dolim as an amazing big bad and I like the other Xindi fighting with entperise against their reptilian brothers and enterprise struggling against the sphere builders
@@dawn1berlitz It was the chief idiot in charge, Les Moonves who deserves the infamy of cancelling ENT. He liked shows like Friends. He never liked ENT... But the real tragedy is that ENT was cancelled in its fourth season when the showrunner switched to a Trek buff and we suddenly got smaller arcs that focused on telling stories about the formation of the Federation, while dealing with their history that setup future events we'd see in chronologically later series.
Totally agre with you!! After Berman and Braga were sidelined and Paramount brought in Manny Coto as showrunner, Enterprise REALLY took off. From Dr. Soong's ancestor with the augmented humans, The Vulcan civil war with T'Pau rising to power, the beginnings of The Federation; I return to seasons 3 & 4 all the time!!
Gonna get a lot of hate for this.... BUT Jedi honestly ruined Star Wars. The main reason the original trilogy was so beloved was a "lack" of Jedi. Characters like Han Solo solo and Chewie simply no longest existed after every third character had magic space powers...
@@JohnSmith-ty2he So true, first the idea of WARRIOR monks were so badass in the original trilogy, how it sounded (at least in IV) that "Luke's father was a fierce Jedi Warrior that fought in wars because that was common for Jedi, wars and commanding troops in common battles every year", then we saw how the Jedi where passive in extreme, almost never taking action and always reacting to the Galaxy being a chaos, never being proactive in hunting criminals or even freeing slaves, just doing politics for rich planets (even Naboo, being quite important and loyal to the republic, was totally ignored by the Senate about their invasion). Star Wars works way better with more mercenary and adventurer characters, instead of pacifist monks sitting in the council all day
I liked the one Episode when there was two Enterprises as they fooled the alien ship attacking them by mirroring themselves looking like one craft on radar as they fired on the enemy ship .
The Xindi story arc was almost a fix for how Voyager should have been produced, each week Enterprise would carry over it's battle scares from the previous encounter and you could see the crew battling with PTSD and other metal problems whereas in Voyager after each episode the ship always looked like it just came fresh out of spacedock .
Except for some episodes in the first 2 seasons, I liked seasons 3 and 4. "Demon"/"Terra Prime" should have been the last episodes, not "TATV" (That one should be redone and 3 more seasons added to include the Romulan War, the rise of the Federation, and the continued life if the crew. Trip did not die! He faked his death to infiltrate the Romulans. A video piece was left showing him leaving the Enterprise to go to the Vulcan ship for surgery to be disguised as a Romulan. Trip, Archer, Dr. Phlox, and Archer didn't even tell T'Pol these plans, but I have no doubt she must've known due to their bond.). Write laurie.metrose@cbs.com and jennifer.verti@cbs.com and tell them what you want for "Enterprise" to continue.
How can a film capture the arc of the Romulan War, the beginning of the Federation, and the continued lives of the crew members in s two hour movie? Not as many people are seeing movies due to Covid anyway. 1."Enterprise" deserves 3 more seasons; 2. No more blasted holoprogramme by "TNG", etc. should interrupt "Enterprise" episodes, and 3. Trip is NOT dead! His story should be in the Romulan War arc. since he was infiltrating them. He faked his death. Read "The Good That Men Do" and the others that followed it (skipping the idiotic "DS9" holoprogramme story- it interfered with the story like 'TATV' did to the last episode and took out what was important (Trip's trip to the Vulcan ship and meeting with T'Pol during Archer's speech) and put in what wasn't (Pegasus, Troi's talk with Data, etc.).
A proposed storyline for Trip was actually that his death was faked and that he was secretively working for Section 31! That was an idea for the 5th season! There were so many ideas for the fifth season, Romulan-Earth war, the first star base, T’pol was supposed to be half Romulan, they were planning SEVEN mirror universe episodes for season 5 as well! Missed opportunities! 😭🖖
Scott MacDonald (born 24 October 1959; age 64) is an actor who appeared in the first four live-action Star Trek television spin-offs. His most frequent Star Trek role was that of the Xindi-Reptilian Dolim during the third season of Star Trek: Enterprise. After his first appearance as Tosk in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's "Captive Pursuit", MacDonald was promised a less makeup-intensive role in any future Trek appearances. However, three more characters he played required extensive makeup: that of a Romulan, a Jem'Hadar and a Xindi-Reptilian. However, he did get the opportunity to play a Human, Rollins, in the Star Trek: Voyager first season episode "Caretaker". During this episode, his character was placed in command of the USS Voyager while the senior officers were away - a rarity for a non-regular character in Star Trek.
This season was epic. And to actually see aftermath of the battle and the damage to the Enterprise made it even more better unlike voyager the ship was brand new next episode. Wish enterprise had gone for another few seasons
1:26 This is more/less what would have helped Voyager as a series. Look at the Enterprise. It's still closer to Starfleet than Voyager ever was during its tenure, yet venturing into unfamiliar territory and encountering hostile forces every so often left its mark on the ship. A ship far from home, with limited resources and a greater uncertainty of who is and isn't a possible ally should look like it's been ridden roughly.
I thought Enterprise and Deep Space Nine were the best of the lot. I like the original of course but the first four films were much better than the very dated look of the TV series. In my opinion just like the original TV series, DS9 and Enterprise had the most believable crews. Nothing wrong with TNG but its not as good as the 3 I favor. I dont even want to talk about Voyager, what really finished it for me was that ridiculous episode with the totally unreal holodeck field extended way beyond believability. You can play a bit fast and loose with 'suspension of disbelief' but that was really ridiculous. I didnt like the crew much either.
I liked all the five series, but have the same three favorites you have. And the captains of the three series (Archer, Kirk and Sisko) are my three favorite captains. I have no single favorite among the three as I think they are all legendary in different ways.
Couldn't agree with you more. Enterprise and DS9 was way more believable than the others TNG was alright because there weren't many good SciFi weekly shows on at that time. It helped pass the time until better series came out. Voyager was a total borefest. It could never make it's mind up on what it wanted to be.
Ah Back during the good 18 year stretch of GOOD Star Trek. If Kurtzman made this they would be swearing every 4 seconds and then Admiral Forrest would warp out of nowhere in a shuttle to help the NX-01. Oh but the NX-01 would have 50,000 shuttlepods now and a turbolift system that is stored in a warehouse that somehow fits inside of a starship. I find after every viewing of new Trek I NEED to come back to TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT clips to make me happy and smile. Good Ol' Trek 1987-2005.
I'm on S3EP20 and I totally agree with black star it should have gone for a couple more seasons. I was heartbroken by EP19 when Capt. Archer stole the warp coil from those alien non-combatants ship. I hope the scriptwriters fixed this moral failing by Archer and his crew later on.
It feels like before season 3 began, the writers finally decided to play that new fangled Halo game, and said “well make this season darker, add some marines, make some pseudo religious space circles, a dash of multi species enemy covenant, and throw in some drums during the intro.
Hello my name is kastal and I love Star Trek I watch that while I watch all the episodes of reptilians I love reptilians they are my favourite bad guy or alien
I like the Vulcans and Andorians-like Shran-better. I also liked Jhamel too. Not sure about the Tellarites (heck, even T'Pol stayed her distance from them), but Degra and the Aquatics were greater in the end.
I know 3 or maybe 4-5 actors who have played these Xindi species, who also have played characters in Star Trek Voyager series, such as Scott MacDonald, Rick Worthy, Randy Oglesby and Tucker Smallwood ☺
@@jerobriggs6861 Either get Hulu or a streaming video that gets "Enterprise" or buy the DVD set. I watch the episodes many times for fun, even if I only have it and all of "TOS" and "TAS" DVDs.
It's a real shame this series died before the Earth-Romulan War, especially considering it was originally menat to be about it. I would have exploded in a puff of logic to see Shran and Archer fight Romulans.
Enterprise may have had its ups and downs, but I thought this episode was one of their better moments. And then they followed it up with an out of nowhere time travelling alien space Nazis on Earth episode...I thought it was an interesting but ok episode, but it was so random.
What always bugged me was the fact there was no single ship near Earth when this superweapon arrived. Surely on Earth they were aware of the situation and even the Vulcans could have send a dozen of ships to protect Earth. And Earth itself had other vessels as well. Where were they? And why wasn't that Verteron array (we see in season 4) on Mars not used? That array had enough power to destroy half the moon.
The ships is a valid point. The Verteron array depends on where Mars is on its orbit as to if it'd be any use. (Plus aiming a weapon at a target 2 light minutes away would be tricky as hell)
Earth's starships (a few warp 2 patrol ships) were obviously out of position. I have 2 hypothesis. Either they were simply out of position [after all, Xindi vortex technology is fairly unfamiliar], or they were escorting an evacuation convoy
Robert Simmons Surely speed is not the most relevant considering the weapon is being brought to earth rather than us going to it? Surely they could have constructed a decent orbital defence system by now?
This series deserved at least a couple more seasons, and an honorable finish. Instead of getting the Earth-Romulan war, and decades of frontier conflict with the Klingons, all we got was a backalley coathanger-abortion performed by Riker and Troi. I have never forgiven the franchise for this, and I have never forgiven those two ‘actors’ for participating in it. TNG-castedTrek and all the WokeTrek that followed haven’t gotten Dollar One from me since then. I don’t own any of it. I WON’T own any of it. I wont give them another iota of my finite viewing-time. I’ll never spend another dime supporting that franchise until they make good on their promise to the fans and give the first Enterprise a proper finish to her story arc. REBOOT.
It was a terrible idea for the producers to just so easily finish the aquatic,s floating city... how many lives were lost on a maneuver exclusively reserved for the klingons... typically a Hollywood convenience death.... that ship wouldn't have continued its course into that deathtrap... that was ridiculous plot move
This show is so much better than STD! At least ENT had the imagination and ingenuity to create their own story archs rather than rebooting Gene's TOS era.
@@jamieolberding7731 haha that wasn't the reason for it, but it would link up nicely to that yes. More to the point of fire power and agility of ships.

Criminally underrated Star trek series.

100% Agreed.
They got Manny Coto as showrunner but by then it was too late .

Archer knows what he has to do.
Archer "Get us close Travis"
Maywweather "What about the anomalies"
Archer "I said take us in"
Archer determined to save Earth. Great scene.
Loved how the NX-01 was this badly beaten and could still put up a fight and take it in return. Just shows you that Starfleet makes ships to last.
WaveForceful this was before the Cardassians and J'em Hadar came into the equation.
Always loved Enterprise. Always will

Scott MacDonald (born 24 October 1959; age 64) is an actor who appeared in the first four live-action Star Trek television spin-offs. His most frequent Star Trek role was that of the Xindi-Reptilian Dolim during the third season of Star Trek: Enterprise.
After his first appearance as Tosk in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's "Captive Pursuit", MacDonald was promised a less makeup-intensive role in any future Trek appearances. However, three more characters he played required extensive makeup: that of a Romulan, a Jem'Hadar and a Xindi-Reptilian. However, he did get the opportunity to play a Human, Rollins, in the Star Trek: Voyager first season episode "Caretaker". During this episode, his character was placed in command of the USS Voyager while the senior officers were away - a rarity for a non-regular character in Star Trek.

i guess i have to rewatch season 3 of Enterprise because i dont remember ANY of this!!!!
Then you weren't paying attention.
To be fair, it had been years since I had watched it. So I changed that.
it's a really good season!
@@jerobriggs6861 Either get Hulu or a streaming video that gets "Enterprise" or buy the DVD set. I watch the episodes many times for fun, even if I only have it and all of "TOS" and "TAS" DVDs.
It's a real shame this series died before the Earth-Romulan War, especially considering it was originally menat to be about it. I would have exploded in a puff of logic to see Shran and Archer fight Romulans.
Enterprise may have had its ups and downs, but I thought this episode was one of their better moments. And then they followed it up with an out of nowhere time travelling alien space Nazis on Earth episode...I thought it was an interesting but ok episode, but it was so random.
0:11 Ayy it's palpatine

I am the senate.
Double letterboxing? Doesn't that mean the video would have just fit in the screen?
Yeah There Should Have Been A Season 5 of Star Trek Enterprise it Would Have Been Epic or Something
"open the vortex... Set the cours for earth"!!!
This was a great story, probably the best of the series. This was pure scifi IMO, little of that "Gee, Captain, there's bad people??" stuff. Ugh.
Where was Earth's defense? They knew it was coming? Where was that Vulcan Armada?
Sir, our steam pipes have been ruptured again!
One vortex, two vortices.
.....The Xindi look actually BETTER then the 'Klingons' from the latest STD travesty..
This in STAR TREK
WONDERFUL
Some of the graphics are good
Feels like voyager.
ONE OF THE ALIENS WAS IN SPACE ABOVE AND BEYOND, COMMODORE ROSS I THINK HE WAS
I liked Enterprise.
After watching new Trek ? I liked it even more
For one second , space above and beyond vibes.
What always bugged me was the fact there was no single ship near Earth when this superweapon arrived. Surely on Earth they were aware of the situation and even the Vulcans could have send a dozen of ships to protect Earth. And Earth itself had other vessels as well. Where were they? And why wasn't that Verteron array (we see in season 4) on Mars not used? That array had enough power to destroy half the moon.
The ships is a valid point.
The Verteron array depends on where Mars is on its orbit as to if it'd be any use. (Plus aiming a weapon at a target 2 light minutes away would be tricky as hell)
Well at least Shran and the Andorians showed up to the fight. Take that, Vulcans.
Earth's starships (a few warp 2 patrol ships) were obviously out of position. I have 2 hypothesis. Either they were simply out of position [after all, Xindi vortex technology is fairly unfamiliar], or they were escorting an evacuation convoy
yup i thought same thing ,,,,only for a dozzen other episodes across the entire franchise
Where was Shran when this went down? Surely a couple of Andorian Kumari-class warships would be of help here
I had to look it up as it's been awhile but Shran shows up in the next episode, unexpectedly, in the defense of Earth.
Invisibility is just not a concept but infact a reality which can not be denied 🛰
Would of liked to see earth romulin war
never left this world
What happened to the sets used in this show?
The Aquatic ship looks like a Babylon 5 White Star.
Xindi Aquatic Crusier vs Imperial Star Destroyer! Who would win?
Where the fuck are all the other earth ships?! Surely they've had long enough to build more and prepare an adequate defence of the earth?!
max speed on most vessels is warp 4. at this point their is two warp 5s
i think its a question of time more than anything
Robert Simmons Surely speed is not the most relevant considering the weapon is being brought to earth rather than us going to it? Surely they could have constructed a decent orbital defence system by now?
Watch the series, the creatures from the expanse are more advanced. The NX-01 is the fastest Earth ship at the time and the only one this far out.
Alex Ball Poor response. Please don't comment again.
Don't like it? Oh well.
This series deserved at least a couple more seasons, and an honorable finish.
Instead of getting the Earth-Romulan war, and decades of frontier conflict with the Klingons, all we got was a backalley coathanger-abortion performed by Riker and Troi. I have never forgiven the franchise for this, and I have never forgiven those two ‘actors’ for participating in it. TNG-castedTrek and all the WokeTrek that followed haven’t gotten Dollar One from me since then.
I don’t own any of it.
I WON’T own any of it.
I wont give them another iota of my finite viewing-time.
I’ll never spend another dime supporting that franchise until they make good on their promise to the fans and give the first Enterprise a proper finish to her story arc.
REBOOT.
This Enterprise is fawl!
Classic trek battles always felt more epic and kinetic, STD and the modern films might have better CGI but they just lack the style
I dunno, the battle with the AI at the end of season 2 was quite epic.
Never got into this show even though I love Star Trek, but, Galaxy Quest wants its villain aliens back.
Reinforcements. Well done No. 18 cats women.
Why do the Arboreal ships look like the Tellarite Kehra-class ships?
It was a terrible idea for the producers to just so easily finish the aquatic,s floating city... how many lives were lost on a maneuver exclusively reserved for the klingons... typically a Hollywood convenience death.... that ship wouldn't have continued its course into that deathtrap... that was ridiculous plot move
Good
And Arboreal ships are the spitting image of Tellarite ships, why?
Are these the bad guys from Galaxy Quest?
Wow amazing 🤔
These are The Voyages of The U.S.S Enterprise Nx-01
This romulan woman seams Angeline Julie.
Jolene Blalock.
Is Vulcan/Romulan
Wonder what they would have done for season 3 before thinking of the Xindi stuff?
Poor negan.
This show is so much better than STD! At least ENT had the imagination and ingenuity to create their own story archs rather than rebooting Gene's TOS era.
The big green lights are obviously weak points you have to target.
Like with most computer games , *Shoot The Cores!*
Rock and Roll the important thing is gang me friends stand by and Good Friday....🎉
I loved the xindi storyline but the aquatics made no sense- there is no way you could build a starship without combustion
Earth, Vulcans, Andorians, Tellarites, Klingons, Romulans, and Xindi versus the evil Galactic Empire. Who would win?
Which stage of the galactic empire?
@@scoobydoo3248 The episode with the Second Death Star.
@@jamieolberding7731 I would think that Earth, vulcans, andorians, tellarites, klingons, romulans and xindi would win
@@scoobydoo3248 Same here too. Good always succeeds over Evil.
@@jamieolberding7731 haha that wasn't the reason for it, but it would link up nicely to that yes.
More to the point of fire power and agility of ships.
Aquatics = Borons! 😊
