I’ve been recommended TNG, DS9, and Voyager, and have been told that the rest pale in comparison.

    Enterprise all the way.

    It starts strong with lots human/vulcan conflict and then eases into 2 seasons of TNG-style adventures.

    Season 3 is an imperfect masterpiece that ultimately delivers some incredible episodes. This is where Enterprise comes into its own.

    Season 4 is more like a collection of 3-parters that sees the crew touch on all the lore they missed in the first 3 seasons. Satisfying but a different vibe.

    Highlights include:

    • Captain Archer feuding with Duras
    • Dr Phlox improving every episode he appears
    • Lt Reed vs Major Hayes
    • Grapplers!

    Low points include:

    • Decontamination
    • Archer/Tpol tension
    • Cogenitor episode
    • The finale

      I particularly liked the way ENT spaced out its story arcs as a series of episodes which can stand alone but hit on a recurring conflict across multiple seasons, season 3 as the glaring exception.
