I personally try to pretend that Voyager never really happened, as well as parts of DS9. Those two shows really took Star Trek away form 'meeting new life and new civilizations' to 'meeting and killing new life and battling new civilizations'. Having 2 Star Trek shows on at a time was a bit much as well.

I can see that Enterprise might be drawn into the flashy special effects, big explosions, super spaceships, and major battles that obsessed DS9 and Voyager, notably with their obsession of time travel. However, the best thing that I have noticed about Enterprise is that they are getting back to the basics, charactor development over special effects. They do not have the same two dimensional and very boring characters that filled the Last two shows. In DS9 and Voyager, they all got along too well, it was like watching Full House, but in space.

I started watching Star Trek as a kid. Actually, my mother watched Star Trek when it was rerun in the late 60's and early 70's. I watched every episode of TNG, but lost interest in DS9 and Voyager and then became a fan of B5.

(I actually saw a picture of the new Romulan Warbird a few months ago, and was very dissappointed in it. At the time, it was very silver and non-Romulan looking. It was possibly just the angle that the picture was, but this one looks a heck of a lot better!)
