scarfmanYou know, I like Star Trek: Enterprise, I really do. Yet I have a real hard time pointing at any particular element of it and saying that that's what I like about it.
For instance, for each Star Trek series I've picked out a model episode, a high-quality example of what it does and does well and does better than the others. For the original, Doomsday Machine (actually that was my mother's suggestion). For TNG, Measure of a Man. For DS9, In The Pale Moonlight. Even for Voyager: One Small Step. For Enterprise ... uh ...
The closest I can come to is Future Tense, which (if I even remember the title correctly) Twilight which is the third-season story set twenty years on from the Xindi War. It's set during the only Star Trek season arc, it's time travel which Enterprise was all over (but that's a different topic), it highlights the ambiguous relationship between Archer and T'Pol, and - whoa! - everyone liked it.

On their return to Earth, the crew of USS Voyager sue Starfleet Command in a class-action suit on behalf of their EMH and other holographic beings in Starfleet service, and the Time Lord known as the Doctor litigates the case for them. It's a logical extrapolation of the exploration of holographic beings made by various Voyager episodes. Though it's set just after the ship's return to Earth it was written some months earlier - yes, before Author! Author! aired, and I have the Usenet post headers to prove it. It occurs in the same crossover multiverse as do my fanfiction comic strips (and the other stories on my website).
