Second, what’s on the DVDs. The bonus features in this set are awesome. The best of them are the text commentaries by Michael and Denise Okuda: richly informative about the production, creative team, and Trekverse, and at times hilarious.
Third, the show itself. I’m so glad that ENT is now getting the love and respect it deserves. It finally broke the second-wave era’s tradition of the first season being a clumsy mess. Instead, season one has an innocence and optimism I find charming and refreshing, particularly now when humanity has gone off the deep end. The actors had immediate chemistry and were as comfortable with comedy as they were with sci fi and drama. It’s easy to join their excitement over the adventure of being the first humans to go out that far. It also finally broke the first and second waves’ tradition of the civvies being as humiliating as Ralphie’s bunny suit. The uniforms look comfortable, pragmatic, and professional. The creatives really stepped up their game with the makeup and costumes, CG, set design, and especially the ship designs (my favorite in the franchise). I love that the NX-01’s tech is so believable. And Rutherford, Boimler, and La’an are right: grapplers are cool. I like that Archer is an everyman rather than being larger-than-life, with the lovable Porthos at his side. T’Pol, Trip, Phlox, and Hoshi are great characters too, brilliantly written and acted. The show made the Vulcans far more interesting and did the Andorians justice with such rich complexity. It certainly helped that they scored the peerless Jeffrey Combs as Commander Shran. The Denobulans, Suliban, and especially the Xindi are fascinating new aliens added to the canon. Yes, the song is awful, but the visuals in the opening credits are my favorite of any live-action series, beautifully showing the progress of human math, science, transportation, and exploration.
During the 4th season of Star Trek Enterprise, a call went out across the internet to save the series from cancellation. I happily responded "Let it die and good riddance".
Pointless inclusion of Ferengi, holodecks, lame computer graphics (the Enterprise looked cheap even for 2001. Was that the Gorn? Say it ain't so!), and the tedium of directionless writing summed up this series. The early exploration of space by Starfleet (consisting solely of one vessel, a rather stupid decision) should have been depicted with a sense of wonder. Instead, it all felt routine. Meeting aliens from the original Star Trek series like the Vulcans, Tellarites, Klingons, or Andorians should have been an amazing event in human contact. What a sense of awe, meeting entire civilizations for the first time! Instead, they spent their time exploring every cave set left over from Voyager.
So like many of the original Trek fans who stayed away from this series, I was not impressed. After the first few episodes, I would check in now and again and see how the series was doing. I was usually appalled and/or bored. So there are a lot of episodes I missed. For instance, I never saw "The Andorian Incident" from the first season, setting the stage for the revelation that the Vulcans of this time are not followers of Surak, and they need to be led back to the straight and narrow by Archer and crew. (Did they really need to trash the Vulcans to make Enterprise interesting? There are entire civilizations here that would have provided plenty of conflict without slapping graffiti all over Vulcan culture and turning them into Romulans).
What is compelling to me now is that the cast and producers acknowledge the show's shortcomings in the extras. Go see the Special Features for Season One, they've got Brannon Braga talking about the ratings dropping. They've got Jolene Blalock expressing her considerable ire that T'Pol was just written (as introduced) to nag the humans. We've got some real honesty here, which I find refreshing. It goes a long way, to coin a phrase.
What went wrong with Enterprise could fill entire internet servers. My first example is introducing holodeck technology in first season's "Unexpected". The writers were enamored with the idea of impressing Trip, the Klingons, and the audience with being able to use their newly-found computer background generating. Did they ever stop and think that exploring "strange new worlds" would be far more exciting than impressing us with whether you can generate holodeck settings for the fourth Trek series in a row? (Not to mention that they gave Klingons advanced technology with which to ravage the quadrant with.)
In the first season extras, Brannon Braga cites an all-human cast as the reason for their ratings slide. But I think it was because we were yet again saddled with aliens of the week in rubber Halloween masks. In the aforementioned episode, "Unexpected", why put a beautiful woman in a gruesome glued-on mask as Trip's love interest? Why did that poor woman in "Unexpected" have to sit in makeup for 3 hours to look awful?Think of Kirk's "Wink of an Eye", where he battled a rival over the beautiful Deela played by Kathie Browne. Unrealistic? But rubber foreheads are no more realistic, real aliens might look like a praying mantis, a column of quartz crystal, or a sentient fog. All too expensive for Enterprise. So why not put these beautiful (and handsome) guest stars in some spare makeup and get on with the plot? Same for every episode of this series.
Speaking of which, it would have been a nice conclusion to the "Broken Bow" pilot if the temporal cold war had resulted in the Klingons reverting to their Fu Manchu appearance from Kirk's time. This would have neatly explained the Classic Trek look, would have obviated the stupid story of genetically-modified Klingons (just so Brent Spiner could have a guest shot), and would have neatly introduced in stark terms the menace of the time-traveling aliens.
Which brings me to the thing that I think collapsed the ratings for most, seeing the trailer for Ferengi on Enterprise was what ensured I would never be a forgiving viewer and fan. In the NextGen pilot "Encounter at Farpoint", it was established the Federation had never seen the Ferengi. For 70 years, Excelsior-class starships had been exploring deep space, and still had not reached Ferengi territory until the 1701-D Galaxy class was built. And yet we were expected to believe Ferengi just "show up" on Enterprise? Just because you had some of their rubber masks lying around? The producers never understood that the Ferengi were the reason DS9's ratings never improved, and thought we wanted to see them on Enterprise as well. Wrong. They were about as welcome as WWE wrestlers doing guest spots to help UPN (the failed Paramount television network).
But those are the reasons the show failed. In rewatching the episodes as a complete set, I find there are highlights and highpoints in the series. It is worth watching again, even if the silly producers introduced a post-9/11 story to be topical. (Gee, there was a Vietnam war in full swing in the 60s, yet Gene Roddenberry didn't hammer us over the head with that, did he?)
Bottom line is that you'll want to buy this DVD set because the actors give it their all, and the bonus features at the end of each season. If the cast was let down by writers and producers who were suffering Trek fatigue, then that's how history records the show's fateful demise. But we can support Scott Bakula's earnest captainship, and the rest of the cast's hard work. People worked hard to get this series off the ground, and to get it out each week. In the final analysis, that's all that matters today. And we celebrate them for it.
(Oh, and if I still haven't sold skeptics on this boxed set. This is the only Trek series to include Outtakes!)

Enterprise was first to made in widescreen & a song in the opening credits.
The uniform are different to those 3, besides this is the prequel to Captain Kirk's mission, like Kirk they USE hand held communicator not pin one.
Conozco Star Trek desde que se empezó a emitir a finales de los años sesenta y principios de los setenta del siglo pasado (entonces yo era adolescente) y he vivido la creación de todas las que la siguieron (La serie animada, La nueva generación. Espacio Profundo 9, Voyager, las películas de cine y el "reboot" del año 2009, así como Discovery, sin contar con las distintas series que se pueden encontrar en YouTube con actores aficionados), por lo que me considero conocedor del tema para emitir semejante juicio. En fin, como dice el refrán, "para gustos están los colores", por lo que no voy a intentar convencer a nadie. Así que me ha hecho ilusión adquirir Star Trek Enterprise a tan buen precio y en formato BluRay, aunque las dos últimas temporadas no tengan audio ni subtítulos en español (pero los tienen en inglés, aparte de otros idiomas, como francés, alemán o japonés, si no recuerdo mal). Para mí, es un problema menor que asumo gustosamente y que, de paso, me "obliga" a practicar el inglés con la excusa de seguir unas películas que me gustan mucho.
Seulement voilà : développer en 2001 une série au goût du jour (c'est-à-dire avec des effets spéciaux "dernier cri" et une mise en scène "tendance") mais supposée chronologiquement antérieure de plus d'un siècle à une série des sixties au look ultra-kitsch (i.e. "Star Trek: The Original Series")... cela relevait littéralement de l'exploit, pour ne pas dire de l'impensable !
Or force est de constater que ce défi a magistralement été relevé par ses créateurs-auteurs-producteurs Rick Berman & Brannon Braga ! Ainsi, non seulement la série "Enterprise" aura réussi à mettre en scène une transition crédible entre le cynisme de notre monde et l'utopie trekkienne, mais elle sera également parvenue à unifier comme jamais l'univers "Star Trek" (le plus vaste à ce jour par le nombre d'heures de programme)... en "résolvant" avec maestria toutes les incohérences internes qui subsistaient encore entre les différentes périodes de ses trois cents ans de "timeframe" !
Malheureusement, la puissante communauté des trekkers américains est longtemps restée divisée sur la vocation et la portée de la série "Enterprise". Car celle-ci prenait place dans un monde qui n'était pas encore celui de "Star Trek" (afin d'en expliquer justement la genèse, notamment par la fondation tumultueuse de la Fédération), tout en osant donner corps au mythe né de ce qui ne fut pas donné aux spectateurs durant si longtemps. Telle est au fond la condition polémique des prequels dont la mission ingrate est de s'attaquer au "mythe des origines" (cf. la prélogie de "Star Wars", "Prometheus" de Ridley Scott, la série "Caprica" de Ronald D. Moore...).
Fort d'un casting très solide (campant des personnages délibérément imparfaits, humains en somme), les deux premières saisons "d'Enterprise" - dont la première devait prendre place uniquement sur Terre (au 22ème siècle) selon le projet initial de Rick Berman - furent portées par un concept original et une véritable inspiration d'auteur. Dans un style très "The Right Stuff (L'étoffe des héros)", elles auront exacerbé une des plus nobles constantes de l'humanité à travers les âges : la fascination pour l'inconnu, et la soif d'exploration... quel qu'en soit le prix ! A l'honneur : ces "fous volants" qui ont fait l'Histoire aéronautique puis astronautique des temps modernes.
Le capitaine Jonathan Archer - incarné par le touchant Scott Bakula - restera la plus vibrante incarnation de cette quête d'ailleurs et de dépassement de soi, posant un regard vierge et insouciant sur l'enfance de l'aventure spatiale dans un cosmos donnant le vertige ! Soit quelque chose de largement inédit en série télévisée.
C'est hélas seulement à partir de sa troisième saison post-9/11 (au style "feuilleton haletant" façon "24") "qu'Enterprise" reçut un soutien quasi-unanime du public et de la critique.
Mais il était déjà trop tard : l'annulation de la série par CBS-Paramount tomba tel un couperet en 2005, au terme de sa quatrième saison (la série devait idéalement en totaliser dix, au minimum sept). Une mise à mort en plein essor qui laisse - encore maintenant - un goût bien amer étant donné l'exceptionnelle richesse thématique et les innombrables promesses de cette "Histoire du futur" en marche...
Malgré tout, les scénaristes eurent le temps d'achever naturellement et élégamment "Enterprise" (sans cliffhanger insoutenable au contraire de tant d'autres séries "victimes du système"), apportant même un superbe point final à quarante années de créativité audiovisuelle.
En 2009, JJ Abrams pratiquera un complet reboot - à la mode comicsienne - de "Star Trek" au cinéma... mais il s'agit là d'une autre histoire (et désormais aussi d'un autre univers).
Puis, en 2017, Alex Kurtzman rebootera de nouveau "Star Trek" – mais cette fois hypocritement – via la calamiteuse série "Discovery" (sise de facto dans un troisième univers).
Du coup, plus que jamais, le chef d’œuvre "Enterprise" représente l'un des apogées de la longue aventure trekkienne (entamée en 1964) et toute l'audace (trop souvent sous-estimée voire incomprise) de ce qu'il est désormais convenu d'appeler "l'ère Rick Berman" (1987-2005).
Ce n'est que justice que la série prequelle soit éditée en Blu-Ray, car du club des six ("TOS/TAS/TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT"), elle seule fut directement postproduite en HD (quoique encore expérimentale à l'époque), ce qui représentait en 2001 une véritable innovation à la télévision américaine. Or douze ans après, c'est au mieux une déclinaison "HD ready" (720p) qui aura été diffusée aux USA (et proposée sur le catalogue iTunes). Il est donc grand temps que le public puisse enfin savourer une "full HD" (1080p) native (qui certes ne prendra toute sa mesure que dans la quatrième saison de la série) sans en passer - au contraire des cinq précédentes - par un lent et coûteux remastering.
Et pour ne rien gâcher, cette édition Blu-Ray "d'Enterprise" bénéficie - comme celles de "The Original Series" et de "The Next Generation" - d'une avalanche de nouveaux bonus à valeur ajoutée critique (et en HD), sans complaisance ni auto-promotion, avec le concours très actif de l'auteur-producteur Brannon Braga.
Enfin, cette édition internationale intégrale (sous pavillon britannique ou italien) est aussi élégante que compacte. Le coffret a beau être légendé en langue anglaise, les Blu-ray eux contiennent bien toutes les pistes française (audio et sous-titres).
Bref, à recommander sans réserve à tous les amateurs de vraie et bonne science-fiction, exigeants aussi bien envers le fond qu'envers la forme.
