I'd recommend that you watch Enterprise. It's got its bad episodes but then every show does. Just a shame it got shut down early while Voyager got a full 7 season run
I think it was a victim of bad timing, having 3 series preceding it for over a decade. Personally, I was burned out by the time Enterprise came along, and the intro song didn't help, either. Looking back on it, it seems like a fine series to me. It probably would have done better if they didn't immediately follow Voyager with this.
Honestly, no. I was surprised when I read online that there were people that literally hated the show. I don't understand that. Every previous Star Trek series had its flaws, and there were a couple of things I wished were different with Enterprise, but I always enjoyed the show (except the final episode). I felt short-changed when it didn't even get a full run. For me, it was the last real Star Trek series ever made. Since it was cancelled, the closest thing I've seen to a new Star Trek series has been The Orville. Discovery and Picard don't feel much like Star Trek or like they fit anywhere in Gene Roddenberry's vision of the future. Neither has any of the optimism, diplomacy, intelligence or even basic writing ability that made previous Star Trek shows what they were.

Here's the thing-because a singularity is a single point in spacetime, _every_ singularity is a micro-singularity. The event horizon around one may not be, but the singularity itself is.
yeah, they call them microsingularities because of a tiny event horizon. because calling them microevent horizons, doesnt really have a good ring to it.
Did they switch bodies or something? I'm pretty sure Archer is the one who's supposed to believe in unproven things, and T'Pol is supposed to be the sceptic.
Belief and skepticism are not relevant. Science and math can postulate the existence of many things that have not yet been tested for and proven or dis-proven. Micro-singularities are a Vulcan theory until they can be verified. Or the math shown to be in error.
So the ship is so tiny, with such a tiny crew, that at 1:46, the ship cannot do two things at once?? Help the shuttle, AND collect data on something that may be vital to future space travel for the fledgling Earth fleet....???? Cool fine yeah okay...Let's run with that! Yet I still really enjoyed this show. 😻😻
THIS Enterprise never made me feel uncomfortable...claustrophobic...as did the vessel in TNG. Something to do with the camera/video shots, and the behaviors of the crew.
Would've been interesting if she'd ignored and refused to help Trip, and was able to stick with Archer instead, but rules were rules and she had to pick someone of equal rank. At first, I thought she was going to pick no one-happy to be alone-but she was probably lonely, even for a Vulcan-and helped Trip.
The season 2 episode in which Porthos was ill had a funny scene at the end where T'Pol stumples a bit saying that it was good they were bound by command rules to not get together. Like a bug in the matrix, T'Pol might have told us that she found the idea of an adventure with Archer, at least interesting in the back of her mind... "it's a good thing you ar emy commanding officer, otherwise we... we could have been tempted in a way that, that could have been... problematic." And I also think she's conscious of Archer's efforts to keep his own attraction to her down and that their trust as friends as well as colleagues depends on their self control. For once a human controls his urges in front of her, she ain't gonna sabotage his efforts. (and also give another reason to be treated as a paria by the Vulcan High Command in the process...
He asked who would be in charge. On a navy ship, there would be multiple officers of rank and seniority in that department capable of taking over. Although there would be a clear chain of command in case of injury or the like, in a situation like this one the engineer would likely appoint someone according to a duty roster, or possibly to a slightly more junior officer in order to give them much-needed experience.
in Engineering jobs are usually delegated according to specialty, not rank. The Chief Engineering Officer is the one who has to report to the Captain, but there could be others of similar or lower ranks who are actually in charge of something. In Starfleet for example a systems engineer (Barclay) doesn't necessarily have authority over the Transport Chief (O Brien), even if the Chief is an NCO. B'lanna Torres and Lt.Carey are the same rank but Carey supports her given her appointment as Chief Engineer.
to be fair, Archer is probably correct in terms of T'pol's theory of 'micro-singularities' - if there were quantum sized black holes, they'd most likely be primordial black holes existing almost everywhere, rather than her assumption of these wandering small singularities that are rare to see.
To everyone pointing out Archer's dismissal of micro-singularities, he's just doing it to annoy T'Pol since she dismissed the idea of time travel just a few episodes prior. Not to mention that he and T'Pol have had hard evidence for time travel in the form of quantum dating confirming things as coming from the future, but the Vulcans have never found evidence of micro-singularities so it's easier for him to rule out since not even the "great and knowledgeable" Vulcans have confirmed such a thing.
Please correct me if I'm wrong... I like Enterprise... But.... Astrometrics?... Quantum sensors?... Isn't that 24th Century tech? I thought Seven of Nine and Harry Kim invented Astrometrics... 🤔
Harry Kim built the astrometrics lab at the yoyager, cause they weren't equipped with it. And seven of night worked their, but neither invented Astrometrics.
Archer was actually a terrible captain, elevated by a good crew and two excellent, characters {Flox and T'Pol]. I mean, what decent captain repeatedly speaks to the hull with their back turned to a crew member???? 🤨🤨
In other words a tiny black hole. I guess there wasn't enough proof for the Vulcan science academy until spock and the enterprise NCC1701 came up with something more concrete and the enterprise lost part of it's main computer. Took out turbo lifts, warp engines, and a bunch of minor functions.
Micro, in this instance, refers to mass as opposed to dimensions; of course, a micro singularity may be a inch or so in diameter and have a mass less than a ton but can still wreak major damage to unprotected ship. _Sagittarius A,_ a black hole/singularity at the center of our galaxy probably masses _googol_ (10 to the hundredth power) tons!

Something I never understood about Mr Reed. In an interview Dominic said he played Mr Reed as though he was gay, but in the show it was quite clear he was straight.
Yeah pairing the most emotional man (Trip) with the least emotional woman (T'pol) was a stupid match. An overemotional Trip should have driven any Vulcan crazy.
He was too short for her. In heels she'd be taller than him. Only real option are Captain Archer or Trip, because even in 3 inch heels, they'd still be taller than her. Hoshi and Reed would have made a more suitable pair
Not sure why there is an extra manufactured conflict about micro singularities vs. time travel. Seems like they should all go where the science leads. Archer was very dismissive of the ability to simply check and prove a historic phenomenon. This too seems out of character.
"the singularities were here here and here" "you're telling me we were hit by tiny black holes?" Try it this way: "The eyeballs were here, here and here" "you're telling me we were hit by tiny human beings?" A singularity is not a black hole; it is part of a black hole.
