They cranked it up way past 10, all the way to 24.
You mean the “justify American war crimes after 9-11” plot?
Ya they smeared the 9/11 on real thick. Blew my mind to learn they were ahead of the curve on the torture:
The episode debuted nearly two years before Americans ever heard the words “enhanced interrogation.”

Scott Bakula is a good actor but he sold the adventurous naivete of S1-2 Archer much better than the moody and distraught Archer in S3. Thankfully season 4 went back to the original spirit.
S4 when he fights Shran with such confidence and gamesmanship, that’s my favorite Archer.
YES haha he really got some space smarts by then
enterprise sounds so good on paper, but it’s always my least favorite trek to watch and i don’t know why.
To me at least, it is 3 difference concepts taking turns driving a single program. S1-2 feel like the TNG formula, but with the twist of a primitive crew and ship. S3 feels like a mutiny of star trek itself. S4 feels like they sort of forgot they were supposed to backfill the canon.
That being said, I’ve walked away with it among my favorite treks. I personally rank Degra right up there with Dukat and Kai Wynn as some of the most distinct and well-developed trek villains.
i’m all sorts of spoiled on ds9.
also iirc trip and t’pol don’t end up together in the end, despite the fact that we get at least TWO DIFFERENT alternate timeline futures in which they’re living their lives with eachother and are super happy. what the hell is even that
