enterprise and the late high budget spin off to the most successful franchise in film and or television history open to the tune of a 90 minute episode call broken bow . first we be sweep into a massive action sequence with a klingon be chase by some suliban ( who be the main enemy in the first season of the show ) . from there the televised movie take u on a journey that seldom get as good a it be and with some of the best character development and story and action or visual effect ever see in such a short amount of time . the opening credit be a debatable subject among the minority of enterprise fan and whom some believe that the song be out of place . what they fail to realise be the lyric themselves . if one listen to the actual song and instead of the theme and then they will begin to piece the part of the puzzle together . and eventually a the series progress further and further and and we learn more about our valiant captain and his crew and will the song actually become meaningful . overall diane warren theme be beautifully orchestrate and be sung just as well by opera singer russell watson . what make any television show watchable and worth watching time and time again be it character and the way they become structured and layered . enterprise be ( in my opinion ) one of the most well cast show since the next generation . choose scott bakula and a captain jonathan archer be the best decision since gene himself cast patrick stewart a jean luc picard . a the captain always lead the show and bakula add a subtlety to his role and bring a huge smile to the face of anyone with blood pump in their vein . he simply be ( both actor wise and character wise ) a superb human be and his charm and wit and and compassion be overwhelm to watch . a for the other cast member and a favourite of mine be john billingsley who play dr. phlox . it also nice to see a non human play a role and and the decision to give the captain a dog and name porthos be a well receive idea . throughout the show character development be brilliant and it be fast and well time and almost perfect . i say almost because sadly travis mayweather character play by the briton anthony montgomery be a little weak at the end of the first season . he do have some thing to say here and there and but remain in the hand of the producer to make him more important . jolene blalock be wonderful a the sometimes harsh but equally loveable subcommander tpol . dominic keating a lieutenant malcolm reed play a strong role and be convince a the armoury officer . connor trinneer play commander charles trip tucker who always add charm and comedic style to his character and finally linda park a ensign hoshi sato and who often play a weak character but thankfully quickly become interesting . all of these character make up enterprise and and all bring a quality that star trek hasn not see in a long time . each person make this show worth watch . smile and feel good sens be guarantee right from the first time we see them all together on the bridge of the starship enterprise nx 01. the ship itself and the nx 01 be somewhat questionable in design . the series be set 150 year from now and 100 year before captain kirk . so why then do the ship appear to be similar in design to mid 24th century ship and namely the akira class starship . continuity have be an issue in enterprise and but thankfully rick [ berman ] and brannon [ braga ] offer suitable explanation for each and everyone of them . continuity be only a problem if you be forever scrutinise show and be obsess with the tiniest of detail . if you see the show with and open mind and then you will have no problem and but there be an urge to know why all the time . so what do berman and braga offer to the star trek fan base with the issue of the deign of the ship itself . accord to them the nx 01 be how it be because of the incident in first contact . when zefram cochrane saw the enterprise e through his telescope and from speak with the away team lead by commander riker and it change the idea in his head . that a good enough explanation for me . let move on . of course it not a easy for some fan to accept that sort of answer and some go as far a to refuse to see the show until they get a reasonable answer . come on guy grow up . when george lucas destroy the star war saga with the launch of his profit make new trilogy and fan couldn not do anything and only watch and sap it all up anyway . and then they learn that and well maybe it not that bad after all . if you can not accept a quality show for what it be and not what it should be in your mind and then go elsewhere . or try become a producer on the show and then see what you can do . the set on enterprise remind me very much of the defiant from deep space nine . they often appear cold and have an eerie look of modern structure to them and they cry out that they belong to the military . perhaps that why the crew of the uss enterprise ( aka flagship of the american fleet ) like it so much . they be strike set and and represent the show perfectly . rick berman the overlord of the empire a john logan so accurately put it and his counterpart brannon braga have hit the nail on the head exactly where they should have and and in all the right place . whether that be technicality and visuals and sound and editing or score . enterprise be a fine demonstration to just how good televise science fiction can ultimately be and when in the hand of genius . the late gene roddenberry would be proud of this series and a a star trek fan and so should you .
