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.
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
i first watched it with someone who actually really loved the intro music. my fondest enterprise memories are fucken BELTING faith of the heart in all sorts of silly voices.
a ball was absolutely dropped on the writing of the lyrics tho, and it lead to it sounding like a goddamn after-school-special intro. specifically the choice to do that like, rising major chord bullshit on “i can doo~ aaaanything~~” just completely turns it into kiddie musical bullshit from a tonal perspective for me.
vocals do go hard tho, that singer was giving it 100% FOR SURE. i’m not gonna lie and say i don’t still sing it for funsies.
enterprise sounds so good on paper, but it’s always my least favorite trek to watch and i don’t know why.

It’s probably the intro music.
