Ah yes, Behold that which is Star Trek! The series has been around fifty years now, and with six series and twelve movies, with a thirteenth likely on the way, scores of books, fan made episodic series and Walter Konieg backed Star Trek Renegade on the way, Star Trek is arguably the most popular and most enduring series to date.

But like any enduring series, Star Trek has its dark side...
back in the early years when Paramount Pictures tried their hands at having their own broadcast network, Called the United Paramount Network, or UPN, they decided they wanted to go for a fifth round with the Star Trek franchise and Boom, Star Trek Enterprise was born!
Staring Scott Bacula As Captian Johnathon Archer, Jolene Blalock as Sub-comander T'Pal, John Billingsley and Dr. Phlox, Dominick Keating ans Malcom Reed, Anthony Montgomery as Travis Mayweather, Linda Park as Hoshi Sato and Connor Trinneer as Charles 'Trip' Tucker, the premise of Enterprise was that it told the story of the events that formed the United Federation of Planets and Starfleet. It was to be UPN's flagship series!
The series was met with mixed reviews. Some felt it was awesome, others felt that it was the worst of the series. Whatever the reason, the ratings were lack luster and the show itself tanked after its fourth season. What caused it to tank so badly where the other series were an overwhelming success? Well lets take an episode by episode look at Star Trek Enterprise and find out why this show warped into disaster!
