Enterprise was a brilliant concept, tying together our spacefaring history with Star Trek and imagining how a NASA-like space program plus warp on the way to Star Trek might look, and how the four founders of the Federation struggled and finally came together. It has brilliant actors, costumes and sets. Even the Xindi species were a cool concept.

And then they wasted three seasons on the awful awful Temporal Cold War, a big bundle of bad and incoherent ideas.

After a 20-year break I am now watching Season 4 and it is brilliant. It's everything I expected and felt robbed of when I first watched the series.

The song is great and fits well with the lo-fi, contemplative atmosphere and pacing.

@clacke Interesting, I'm not sure I ever watched S4; I have a feeling I gave up somewhere in the Temporal war thing and never came back, but I'm not sure I remember. I prefer episodic things rather than long running stories.

@penguin42 @clacke Season 4 consisted of three part stories that were leading up to the Romulan War. Agree the first three seasons are awful, although there are a few stand out episodes in there.

@BarrieSuddery @clacke I actually liked the 1st season, before all the temporal war stuff - I liked the way it came together; how everything was a bit touchy and tempremental, rather than the sleek technology of earlier, I mean later, ST's.
