Star Trek Enterprise - The Complete Second Season

Date undefined

I'm about 1/3 of the way through the season and overall was impressed. I watched both the original series and the TNG series while in college, but haven't followed it much since. On a whim I tried Enterprise, Season 1 earlier this year and thought it was overall pretty good. The writing is not at tight as what I remember from the other ST series, and I don't think that they have developed the characters as fully as they should. However, the actors really work well in Enterprise together.

I remember the early seasons of TNG being very uneven and the actors didn't really find their groove until later seasons. Here, I think that they actors really gelled early on, and Season 2 hits a nice stride for how well they all work together, both as actors and in character. It's a shame that the series did not go more than 4 seasons. I really think with more character development and a bit more direction for the series, this would have lasted the full 7 seasons that other Trek shows did.

Overall, it seems like they just kind of wander around space a lot; but it usually hangs together well. My biggest complaint about the writing is that in a lot of episodes they didn't know where they wanted to go, and therefore the actors didn't have the right dialogue. There are a number of times where I am watching and think that they didn't have the characters really completing their thoughts and motivations.

Best summary I can come up with: Great ensemble cast, but not developed as fully developed as it should have been.

Star Trek Enterprise - The Complete Second Season

In my continuing mission to watch every Star Trek ever made, Enterprise season 2 naturally comes early on. One thing I've noticed as I watch episodes one after another is that each season has a distinct feel. While season 1 was more dedicated to the aliens and the role of humanity in space, season 2 is heavy on the development of each of the bridge characters, Chief Engineer "Trip" Tucker most heavily. Each episode seems to be dedicated to the background of each main cast member, from Lt. Reed early on in the season with "Minefield" to Archer's recall of a stolen warp 2 ship to T'Pol's deeply felt pon farr episode late in the season... Far more emotive and controversy-laden than season 1, season 2 but betters the Trekie experience as humanity makes its way towards the creation of the Federation...
