The Few, The Proud

[scarfman]

You 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.

My favorite STNG was and will ever be "Darmok." 'nuff said. :-)

Yup, that's a gooder.
"The Inner Light" is way up on the list too.
And who can forget the first time they ever saw "Best Of Both Worlds Part 1" and wondered if they were really writing Patrick Stewart out of the series?

Damn I miss that show.
