   Everyone always talks bad about Enterprise.   
      
   What everyone seems to forget, is that Enterprise is going to the same   
   startup problem as DS9 and Voyager.   
      
   These three series all lacked proper red threads or character backgrounds to   
   make the series interesting. At DS9 and Voyager this was taken away after   
   the second and third season (respectively).   
      
   Enterprise will need some time to settle in to.   
      
   Back where I live, in the Netherlands, we are all waiting heavily for some   
   station to broadcast the first two seasons.   
   Lots of people have downloaded the series because no station bought it yet   
   (because of the price of individual episodes) and they praise the show.   
      
   I've seen it too and have to admit that there are some problems.   
   The Temporal Cold War is very interesting but should have been used more.   
   The idea of Enterprise and its setting in Starfleet history is very good.   
   And the new red threat that is being lain out (the Xindi) is also something   
   which will most likely be the thing that pushes Enterprise to the right   
   side.   
      
   And I have to say. I eagerly expect any storyline of the Romulan-Earth War   
   and of the forming of the Federation.
