Movie Reviews of Star Trek Enterprise - The Complete Third Season
Movie Review: mark c aron
Summary: 4 Stars
i have read what many have written about the death of "enterprise" however i think they miss the mark, but by just a little. what doomed "enterprise" was not the acting, or directing, or writing of any one episode. in fact i think one can make the valid point that the overall acting and directing, and the writting of many episodes in all 4 seasons was as good as anything in the trek canon.
what undermined the show fron the beginning was the "bible"
on which the show was based. i do not mean that a show that covered the beginning of the federation was a bad idea, just that the way it was done was totally screwed up fron the beginning. the basic idea the relationship between vulcans and
humans is more like that between overbaring parents and teenagers who thing they are allready adults. according the the "bible" the vulcans have spent the 88 years from "first contact" to the building of the nx-01 impeadind whenever possible, the ability of humans to get beyond the sol system.
humans have been denied such things as warp technology, information on the verious political relationships beyond the sol system ( such as relations between vulcan & andor, the very fact that there is a klingon empire - let alone it's size and power, ect, ect, ect...)and even such simple things as a up to date star chart, as well as being limited to what other races humans do come into contact with. because of this commercially operated space freighters have more experience, and their pilots have more flying time than mid 22nd century starfleet.
because of all of this the first 2 seasons of "enterprise"
bumbled, fumbled, and stumbled around the galaxy trying to explore without knowing the rules, while at the same time trying to avoid screwing up so badly as to warrent being called home and proving the vulcan high command correct. and having a first officer throught to have been placed on board to spy on the crew grew boring after a while. in addition the temoral cold war sub plot was never understandable, because you never did learn who was fighting who and why.
by the time season two was coming down to its last few episodes, the show had crashed and burned, 75% of the viewership was gone (forever as it turned out) and the network, upn had switched the demographics, it wanted to go after ( let's face it, the type of viewer who would tune in week after week to find out at the end of the season which contestent will end up with the chance to be the next trya banks, most likely does not watch good drama on t.v., let alone good scifi, let alone star trek ) but after realizing their screw up, rick berman & co. decided the the "bible" was a failure and that if the show was going to be saved, some changed needed right away.
season three was that change, and by the end of the season the show was finally on track, but running out of time. the idea of a season long story arc was a gamble, which in my opinion worked quite well. the only error in the story arc that i see was the maintaining the temoral cold war sub plot. this season laid the basis for season 4, which forfilled all the
hopes of the loyal viewers.
as for the future, i fear that the release of "enterprise"
will be the last new trek we will on either the small or big screen for a long time. paramount, as part of viacom, is going through some major changes at this time. and by the time things settle out, the new management may buy into the "conventional wisdom" that star trek has shot it's wad, that the star trek fan base are nothing but a bunch of over the hill nerds and geeks, and the path laid down by gene roddenberry is as out of date as the hayes code, god/gods/the phophets/the great bird of the galaxy help us all
