Season 2 was almost as bad as Voyager. Season 4 was almost as good as DS9.

Season 1 was not too great overall, but some of the other seasons had some good stuff, except for the series finale. I cannot bear to think about it.

“Oh, boy! Al? Al, where are you?” 😉

Indeed. It was odious.

Everyone knows Admiral Trip was killed by a jealous husband in a bar fight in New Orleans at 101.

I like the Xindi arc, and it was nice to see it again in the Star Trek reboot movie. I think I bailed on the show midway through S1 (I think it had something to do with the ‘stinky’ episode) but started up again towards the end of the 2nd season, and rewatched on DVD. The episodes that emphasized their geo(spacial?)graphic isolation- the one in the first season where Archer’s going to drag them back home to get some real guns installed, and Trip and Malcolm make with the spare parts and duct tape to do it themselves, since the trip back to Earth would take months.

And they wore ball caps! But the extraordinary drag factor of that theme song- when 90% of the audience is leaping for the remote whenever it came on, you have to believe 30% of them won’t come back after the commercial.
