Specifically, let's talk about what's wrong with it and why it is the black sheep of the series.
Seriously, someone tell me, because my wife and I are watching it now and can't figure out why it is so maligned. For context, we watched TNG, TOS, DS9, tried to watch VOY (couldn't even finish the first season, and Picard.
Enterprise seems alright in comparison to these. It's no DS9 or TNG, but certainly more entertaining than Voyager (which hand waves its premise way too fast) and Picard (which didn't seem to know what it wanted to be doing).
Enterprise does the "fish out of water, gotta improvise all the time" theme way better than Voyager ever did. Yes, I've seen Dear Doctor and yes, I consider their decision in this episode to be utterly moronic. However, most episodes are fine and increasingly I'm finding that I like these characters.
So what's so bad about Enterprise? Is it something I haven't encountered yet (most of the way through S1)? Has some horrible aspect of the show passed me by unnoticed?
