I'm watching Enterprise, for the second time. I tried the show some years ago, enjoying it, but also having lots of problems with it. I just was really annoyed by the crew, especially at the beginning, where they are so careless, and ignore T'Pols valuable insights all the time. I also had only access to the first two seasons, so this is still the only Old Trek that I haven't watched completely.
I'm at episode four now, where the crew finds a planet that looks inhabitable.
While Archers first impression was really bad, he and the other human crew members aren't as obnoxious as I remember. They are still too gung-ho, but they also are competent (considering the setting) and somewhat careful, if they not just find a new planet, or something.
I do see more clearly now, how T'Pol is hard to deal with, and just way too careful. This is clearly not the Federation of the Kirk-, or even the Picard-era, being mainly driven bay carefulness.
The setting is pretty cool. I really like the conflict between the Vulcans and the Humans. I vaguely remember that they don't do enough with it, but it'interesting for now. And seeing Humans being afraid of teleporters and similar things are nice details.
I really like Phlox.
I don't like, how the show started with an action scene at the very beginning, and the sronger focus on action in the pilot felt like a sign of how TV in general had changed in the early 00's. Everything is darker (not atmospherically, just the lighting on the ship) and the cameras aren't fixed in place anymore, the have always a light shaking to them. But it also feels somewhat in tone with the way DS9 had developed. And we seem to desperately needed to make Trek mire adult, so there is this stupid scene in episode 3, where Trip and T'Pol have to apply stuff to their skin, and are half naked.
Please don't do that ever again, shoe. Me not want.
Also, episode for is a callback to The Naked Truth/Now, isn't it? First, someone tells a ghost story about someone who behaved like a member of the crews in both episodes. And then people are getting paranoid. It was also way better than both older episodes.
The whole show is actually off to a strong start. Looking foward to more, especialle the second half.
