Do people genuinely not like ENT?
The consensus leans to it being not that great.
The consensus has definitely changed with time.
Granted, that has happened to literally every iteration of Trek, except TOS.
(and TAS I guess considering that it remains an underrated gem)
I think it was the first truly disappointing ending for a trek show, and that kinda sours the whole thing a bit.
I agree the ending wasn't great.
I think that was mostly when it came out. (Along with voyager) Over the years it is seemingly more appreciated.
Oh man do they. The years since it aired have been kinder to it but hot damn did it get a lot of hate online while it was fresh.
I think in their efforts to make the crew less woke than in the TNG era to maintain continuity, they accidentally made the crew less woke than people are in 2024. I'm saying it aged poorly. For example I cite Trip being uncomfortable with polyamoury.
From my perspective, I didnt start to appreciate it until the final season and then I wasnt even that bummed because I knew I wouldnt have to hear budget rod Stewart sing over an old Timey map with crew member power point transitions
Yeah I think this song was kind of annoying.
I don't know I'm not really into TOS, it was too campy for me. I liked TNG just fine, something about ENT really had like a rough, we're doing real first time exploration kind of vibes to it which I really enjoyed.
