There's little wrong with Voyager or Deep Space Nine as an idea, although it
got bogged down by the people in charge not really knowing what to do and
having no story ideas (hence a lot of playing in the holodeck and time
travel stories ... anything that could use the "big red Reset" button to
make the entire episode a waste of time).
Enterprise on the other hand was complete garbage from the start. Trying to
make a "non-Trek Trek show" was so idiotic that anyone with a brain knew is
was doomed. Basically a worthless attempt to "reboot" Star Trek, it simply
pee'd all over the existing Star Trek history and had lots of stupid and
ill-fitting rubbish thrown in (it suffered the same fate as Smallville, with
writers not having any ideas, so simply throwing in everything they could -
in this case meeting races that were unknown in proper Star Trek timelines,
for example). The "best" thing about it was the ending that smacked everyone
who had bothered to watch it in the face by using another "big red Reset"
button and pretneding the whole thing was basically a dream.
