I absolutely hate it when a long running nerd franchise tries to explain away "plot holes" and inconsistencies that exist purely due to off-screen real-world production reasons with piles of contrived lore
We'll never know, but I personally think it would've if it had gotten those 3 seasons like all the others. It ended just as the show really kinda found itself and things were heating up with it's main plot.
I think of it like if DS9 got canceled in season 4 and we never got it at it's absolute best. (Not saying Enterprise is overall comparable to DS9, just that they had similar momentum imo).
Either that or if they knew they only had 4 seasons going in. Considering the previous three shows all got 7 they probably thought they could take their time more. Pretty sure a big part of season 4 being so cramped with lore stuff was because they were saving some of it for later on.
Are you implying Enterprise wasn't good, good sir?
Enterprise was really fucking bad
You don't have faith of the heart.
Overall I think it's better than Voyager at least imo.
I disagree but Im seriously turned off by the gross male gazey sexuality
Fair enough, that is a legitimate downside.
All the cool lore about the beginnings of the Federation makes up for it's flaws for me at least.
Explaining early Klingon costumes/makeup was a mistake. Like Roddenberry said, they always looked like TNG, you just couldn't see it before.

Also while voyager had some fascist impulses enterprise sure expanded those
I just think Voyager had a ton of wasted potential with it's concept is all.
Yeah they were supposed to make it a serial, but the producers refused
So did Enterprise but it has the excuse of getting cancelled.
