Movie Reviews of Star Trek Enterprise - The Complete Fourth Season
Movie Review: Entertaining, but ultimately somewhat unsatisfying
Summary: 3 Stars
SPOILER ALERT!
I watched all four seasons in a marathon run, over the course of about two weeks; and while much of it was entertaining, it left me a bit cold. Particularly the series finale and over-arching segue into the Star Treks "to follow" (as everyone knows, this series chronicles the years leading up to the original Star Trek series).
The fourth season acts as a primer for what is to come, by providing the back story for many of the episodes in the original series. In so doing, it sort of failed the series Enterprise, by divesting itself of the character arcs that it had built over the previous three seasons, and focusing on the "future" of the franchise.
As for the finale, one reviewer here hit on a real problem: Commander Tucker's death was terribly contrived. While it is commendable that the series producers were willing to kill off one of the series' core characters, the manner in which they did it was a stretch. Tucker effectively commits suicide when, after a minor and easily resolved skirmish with an intergalactic group of petty thugs, he kills the group and himself to "protect" the captain. Considering the number of times the crew encountered far more serious threats to themselves and the ship (and humanity itself!) and managed to extricate themselves without resorting to such drastic measures, his actions were illogical in the extreme. Furthermore, the abrupt insertion of Riker and the TNG crew into the finale rankled me, as it did many viewers. It just seemed to cheapen the series (Enterprise, that is) by having it told to us through the eyes of Riker and Troi.
Nevertheless, the last season of the Star Trek franchise (for now, one must assume) did have its share of good story lines and resolution. No selfr-respecting fan of the series can justify not watching it, and, as such, it is recommended.
Movie Review: Goodbye Star Trek - Enterprise
Summary: 5 Stars
It is a bittersweet symphony, this unfortunately, last season of ST - Enterprise. It contains some of the best episodes of the series, but also the worst one of possibly the whole franchise- "These are the Voyages", titled as "Valentine for fans" by the writers, but it was the exact opposite of that, a slap in the face of those who liked Enterprise and its crew as well as the cast. I won't go into detail, this episode may have been average as a stand-alone one in the middle of a season, but as a finale it was just bad. Totally ignoring any character development established in the previous seasons, only a 1-hour finale instead of the established 2-hours, but to bring more insult, bringing in two characters from TNG and delegating Enterprises' own cast to the rank of gueststars. I didn't need a farewell to the whole franchise, I wanted a fair farewell to Enterprise and we didn't get that.
As for the rest of the season, it contains gems like "Home", "Demons", "Terra Prime" and the Vulcan-Arc trilogy "The Forge", "The Awakening" and "Kir'Shara".
Enterprise was in my opinion the best of all Trek series. While many Trekkers might disagree, I think it was the most human Trek and most suited for the casual viewer, not only the die-hard fan.
The DVDs are what you come to expect of Paramount, the extras are okay, but not as generous as the previous seasons, the bloopers are painfully short. Although as expensive as the rest of the bunch , I think it is well worth the money.
I wish it wouldn't have been cut short.
Goodbye Star Trek - Enterprise,
LIVE LONG AND PROSPER

I am a trekkie and with the purchase of this DVD set, I was just one DVD set short of having all the Star Trek DVDs (including the movies).
As for this set, I totally loved it. In a way it made me sad to realize that the show was cancelled so early. In my opinion season 4 was the best (for Star Trek Enterprise) and they could have done so many more story lines. I just hope that they follow up on some of the story lines with movies.
