Enterprise failed for one simple reason...

Boneheaded stories killed Enterprise. For the life of me, WTF is up with Trip and T'pol message therapy crap? Just another way for a studio to work a "sex" theme into a series? And why in the hell is Commander Tucker this pouty, sad, wimp shuffling around like some teenager who got rejected from a high school tart? For cryin� out loud, he�s a COMMANDER! What a pansy.

What the Salad Brains at Paramount don't understand is that people wanted to see how the Federation was forged and lead up to TOS. We wanted to see why the "Prime Directive" became such an issue, how and why was the Neutral Zone formed, and so on. We didn�t need new Aliens or new �catastrophic threats� to all humankind (i.e. Suliban and Xindi).

I realize that they were probably going to get to that eventually, but they didn't seem to realize they needed to "hook" the audience immediately. They were developing crap stories as if they had it in the bag to be around for 7 seasons.

Also, why was EVERY FRIGGIN' episode a II or III parter? That tells me that the writing staff is so inept that they can't write short stories. It seemed that the entire season was one long episode; miss an episode and you're lost for the season. No wonder people stopped watching. This is Enterprise, not friggin' 24!

Nope, the series was doomed from Season One. If you are not going to keep in the �traditions� of Star Trek and instead bore us to death with slow moving plots, dark and sinister sets, and narcissistic characters, then good riddance!

No Enterprise cancelled due to bad writers hint hint Berman and Braga and some....... in my opinion.

The entire 4 seasons was wasted on threats,exploring,and prolonged romance.Its a shame that details leading up to the birth of the federation, the neutral zone, and the prime directive were never explained in the earlier episodes( to stretch it out) and why the romulans and klingons were not more in a aggressive conflict towards starfleet which was suppose to happen.70 years of unremintant hostility between the klingons, romulans, and starfleet which would establish the neutral zone treaty.So many things to explain in what could have been so many episodes and nothing.Now down to 5 episodes remaining, im afraid if there is an explaination of these future events then it will be a short brief story and no prolonged event.

As for the writers..no comment

I have to admit, I thought all the time travel and new species, especially the Suleban, ruined it.
All filler, no killer...
I thought the sex and vulcans on drugs were good. More of that please
