Star Trek: Enterprise - The Complete Series [Blu-ray]

What a shame only four seasons! I love the complexity of interpreting Captain Archer's style and techniques of commandeering the first Earth warp-drive starship out into the unknown realms of our galaxy, especially without the overbearing, arrogant, and condescending Vulcans that finally "hipped" us to it hovering overhead. Opps, there is one Vulcan subcommander aboard, the beautiful, stately, and shapely T' Pol whose emotionless and ever-expressive eyes and gestures will keep all male Trekkies glued to every scene she subtly dominates with utmost nuance. Remember, the eyes tell all!

While some people may argue how Enterprise isn't as good as the other tv shows in the Trek canon, it has some fine moments of its own. Sure there are more than a few recycled plots from the other series along with other aspects that would make Spock raise an eyebrow but one cannot deny the show was hitting its stride just prior to its cancellation. It's too bad we never got to see the Romulan War the would have played heavily in the fifth season. Instead we get a mostly mixed bag. In terms of the product these blu ray discs are the same as the previous release. This was the first Trek series to make use of the widescreen format. While the picture looks great, the special effects are not redone but instead up converted. Still they don't look too bad but do still stand out. It's nice having all the seasons here in one collection at a great price. Only drawback I see from the packaging is the way the discs are held in place. There are two discs over lapping one another making it difficult to access one disc over the other. Also, the discs are sometimes difficult to come out of these holders. My rating is based from the series overall in terms of the shows quality and also the packaging. If you are looking to get the series at a great value, then it is a great buy.

I think that "Star Trek: Enterprise" was once again one of the greatest classic "Star Trek" series of all-time and it was also one of my favorite series of all-time. I was a fan of all the "Star Trek" films and series and I also think that "Star Trek: Enterprise" had a lot of enjoyable and entertaining action, mystery, suspense and drama including really great and amazing casts, plots and personal storylines as well.

Confession - I'm probably one of the reasons Enterprise was cancelled. I saw the premiere episode on its original air date, but for some reason I didn't watch any of the other episodes while the show was running. I have no idea why. I really enjoyed the pilot. Fast forward to 12 years after the show has been canceled, I have some Best Buy gift cards, and I see that Enterprise is released in its entirety on BluRay. It must have just been the right time for me, but I grabbed it...and I LOVE it! I really enjoy the cast as well as the stories. After years of watching Next Generation, DS9, and Voyager, all of which I loved, it was nice to pull away from the intermingled events of the 24th century to a time that hadn't really been explored yet...the beginning of Starfleet and the founding of a Federation. It was also a lot of fun seeing some of the "new" Star Trek canon equipment that wasn't embraced yet...like the transporters. A lot of the stories help to frame aspects of Trek that are taken for granted...like the wisdom of establishing a Prime Directive. Oh, and seeing the burgeoning alliance with the Andorians (as represented to great effect with Commander Shan) as well as a somewhat more adversarial Vulcan/human relationship was well done and really helped to show just how far humanity had gone even as early as The Original Series. While Captain Kirk will always be "my" Trek Captain and the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 will always be "my" Trek Enterprise and crew...Captain Archer, his crew, and the Enterprise NX-01 was a LOT of fun to watch and has earned its place in Trek canon.

Years ago, Paramount released Star Trek Enterprise as individual seasons on BluRay. Now they have reissued it complete, for about what a season would cost before. It was great that Best Buy had the exclusive on the release, so I could get it weeks early. While many people were not fans of this series, it had it's own charm. The cast was amazing, and the production was top notch. This set looks amazing, and is packed with bonus features. You will not be disappointed.

The series was beautifully done. From the first space steps into the galaxy and testing the technology that would make the series unique, to the unwarranted supervision of the Vulcans. This series summed up unanswered questions from the other series to the birth of the Fedetation. Even though the series had to hold back on the special CGI FX effects, it made up in excellent story arcs, to the finale, live long and prosper.

While there are a few episodes that are a little "out there", overall I think this is the best of all the series. I find connecting and actually caring for the characters easier here than with, say, Next Generation. I was seriously disappointed the series didn't last more than 4 seasons. It had so much potential.

Loved this show!! It is my 2nd favorite Trek series. My favorite is the original series and Deep Space Nine comes in a close 3rd. Looks and sounds great on Blu-Ray!!
