Under intense scrutiny, the debut season of Enterprise earned a passing grade from critics and Star Trek fans alike. Voyager ended its seven-season run just four months earlier, and fans were skeptical when Enterprise premiered (on Sept. 26, 2001, on UPN) with a theme song ('Where My Heart Will Take Me,' composed by Diane Warren and performed by Russell Watson) that defied Trek's revered theme-music tradition. This and other early reservations were dispelled when 'Broken Bow' got the series off to a satisfying start, beginning in the year 2151 and establishing a pre-Federation focus on humanity's delicate relationship with the Vulcans, the controversial launch of the NX-01 Enterprise on an exploratory mission, and the potentially devastating consequences of the mysterious Temporal Cold War involving a time-traveling splinter group of the Suliban, a nomadic alien race. While establishing a testy relationship between Enterprise Capt. Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) and his smart-and-sexy Vulcan Sub-Commander, T'Pol (Jolene Blalock, in a short-banged wig and form-fitting 'catsuit' that were later redesigned), the series introduced engineer 'Trip' Tucker (Connor Trineer), whose surprise development in 'Unexpected' made him a fan favorite; communications officer Hoshi Sato (Linda Park); helmsman Travis Mayweather (Anthony Montgomery); weapons expert Lt. Malcolm Reed (Dominic Keating), and chief surgeon Dr. Phlox (John Billingsley), a well-mannered Denobulan recruit from Earth's Interspecies Medical Exchange. As a 'prequel' series that predates the original Star Trek by 150 years, Enterprise built upon established Trek lore with episodes involving Vulcans ('Breaking the Ice'), Klingons ('Sleeping Dogs'), the blue-skinned Andorians ('The Andorian Incident,' 'Shadows of P'Jem'), and the Ferengi ('Acquisition') while offering stand-alone episodes (notably 'Dear Doctor,' 'Fortunate Son,' and 'Shuttlepod One') that further acquainted fans with the Enterprise regulars. Early Trek technology is also introduced (including 'phase pistols' and the rarely used, still-risky transporter), and the series drew strength from what many felt would be its primary weakness: unwritten history and the initial indecisiveness of Archer's bold foray into the unknown. Ending with a dazzling 'Shock Wave' cliffhanger that leaves Archer stranded in a decimated Temporal Cold War future, Enterprise set a strong foundation for the events of season 2.
The bonus features included on the Enterprise: Season One DVDs are almost worth the price of the set, if only to see nearly nine minutes of hilarious outtakes, maintaining a beloved tradition of Star Trek bloopers. The sight (and sound) of Jolene Blalock laughing out of character is pure gold, and it shouldn't surprise anyone that Blalock is just as smart as she is sexy, as proven by her astute observations (along with the rest of the Enterprise cast) in the 'Cast Impressions' featurette. It's the usual complimentary fluff included with all Trek sets, but it's obviously sincere, confirming fans' conviction that Enterprise should have lasted beyond four seasons with this close-knit ensemble. Series creators Brannon Braga and Rick Berman deliver a typically dry commentary on 'Broken Bow,' setting the record straight on debate over the show's 'not retro enough' production design (as Braga notes, 'you can never please everyone') while defining their concept of 'The Right Stuff of Star Trek.' As always, Mike Okuda's text commentaries offer a wealth of Trek trivia and detail from Trek's historical canon.
Fans will love the 'Enterprise Secrets' revealing low-tech solutions to lighting the warp core and dispensing 'replicator' beverages, along with an entertaining profile of Vaughan 'Admiral Forrest' Armstrong, who holds the record for Trek guest appearances. The other featurettes are perfunctory, but 'Creating Enterprise' provides valuable first-season perspective, and the 'Time Travel' feature offers a handy reference for the many time-travel episodes from every Trek series. As usual, Easter eggs (three of them, titled 'NX-01 Files') are hidden on the special-features menu, offering short interview clips culled from the primary featurettes. The deleted scenes demonstrate how non-essential material can be sacrificed, and because they don't include post-production sound or visual effects, fans can see and hear the actual soundstage atmosphere of Enterprise's principal photography. --Jeff Shannon
Description:
Set in the 22nd century, a hundred years before James T. Kirk helmed the famous starship of the same name, ENTERPRISE takes place in an era when interstellar travel is still in its infancy. Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) has assembled a crew of brave explorers to chart the galaxy on a revolutionary spacecraft: Enterprise NX-01. As the first human beings to venture into deep space, these pioneers will experience the wonder and mystery of the final frontier as they seek out new life and new civilizations.

Rating:  - A good show, and worth your time!
I'm a fan, right from the start with Kirk and company. I was annoyed when ST:TNG came out, because I thought, "How could they?" But I gave it a fair chance, and loved it! Next DS9, haven't had the chance yet, but will eventually get to it (wasn't thrilled with the whole "war" premise). When Voyager came into the spotlight, I was skeptical yet again, figuring it couldn't have the real "Star Trek feel" being stuck in space. I didn't even watch it initially. But it is an excellent show too! Now to Enterprise - I swore to myself I'd give it a fair chance the first time around, and watched it religiously and in much anticipation for each coming week. I enjoyed the show while I was watching it, but found it to be hard to follow - especially with the multiple story arcs throughout the last two seasons. Being the devoted fan, I had to have it when it was released on DVD. I only recently opened and viewed each season, episode after episode and let me tell you, watching it in this manner made a lot of sense! I had come to realize how intricate the plots can be, the characters, multi-demensional, and the effects are truly amazing. The writers took a big, bold chance with continuing arcs, and that was a nice nod to the fans. They were not trying to carefully step on eggshells and write individual stories. They were giving a gift to fans, knowing those who were following each week would be the only ones returning for the next installment. Watching one eppy after the next, I was like, "Wow!" that's good writing! ... Read More

Rating: - Enterprise: First Season
I was a bit skeptical of this show when I first bought, but found that I really enjoyed the first season...it has all sorts of things that hint at what's to come on the ``Star Trek'' original series. The only thing I don't like about the show, especially what's to come, is a particular thread that was inserted dealing with time travel...but I'd come to learn that that wasn't solely the creators' doing, but at the behest of the studio. That said, I definitely enjoyed the first season and would obviously recommend it to die-hard `Trek' fans, but also casual fans of sci-fi, tho in that case, I'd suggesting renting it through Netflix or Blockbuster.
Rating:  - Good god, this is terrible
It's official: I hate Star Trek Enterprise Season 1. I watched parts of later episodes a few years ago when it was on TV, and it seemed kind of OK compared to the other Trek shows which have come out in recent years. Season 1 is most emphatically not OK.
In Season 1, Vulcan chick has the personality of celery. Tactical officer Englishman is an uptight tosser. Captain American likes puppy dogs. Communication neurotic ... why is she on this show? Doctor Flox is kind of cool in a perverted way. Engineer Redneck is pretty awesome, actually: first sympathetic modern unabashed redneck character on televisions. Ethnic complaint: everyone is an American except for the English guy. In old Star Trek, there was Japaneses, Zulus, Scotchmen and Russians. That ruled. This sucks.
What is the plot of season-1? The plot is, Vulcans are bad, but maybe they're kind of good and need humans help to help them be better people. Back in the mists of Star Trek history, this sort of dynamic was probably designed to get smart people to think about being more filled with pep and ginger, and dynamic people to be more reflective and logical: this is probably a healthy moral lesson. Somehow that dimension has been lost, and it's turned into some pathetic psychotherapeutic point about being more sensitive. Other important plot device: golly that Vulcan chick is attractive. Seriously, the main plot device is adolescent sexual tension between Vulcan chick and the male members of the crew. While I bet this is ... Read More

Great show!Think it would have run longer on different network.The additional features really lets you see a different side to the actors and thier characters.Something for the whole family.
