"The final frontier has a new beginning."

Star Trek Enterprise is a Paramount Television production.

The fifth series in the Star Trek universe is set in the mid-22nd century and stars Scott Bakula as Captain Jonathan Archer, (pictured left). He leads an earlier Enterprise in pioneering exploration of space.

ST:ENT explores the first steps of humanity's exploration of space, making new friends and enemies and discovering all those things that are taken for granted in "later" series.

The Human relationship with the Vulcans is becoming a little strained, so Captain Archer doesn't like being assigned Vulcan First Officer - Sub-Commander T'Pol (Jolene Blalock). However, he does get on well with the alien ship's medical officer, Doctor Phlox, (John Billingsley). Others on the regular cast are: Dominic Keating, Anthony Montgomery, Connor Trinneer and Linda Park. [ See Cast details for more information. ]

ST Enterprise series 2 brings more action, more exploration of ST "future history", revelations about T'Pol, and meeting the Romulans. Sorry, what was that last one? Yes, meeting the Romulans. Without disrupting the ST timeline. Okay, well given the amount of messing about with time they already introduced in series 1, that probably won't be all that difficult although they don't want to overplay the Temporal Cold War too much, so we'll see what they do. Undoubtedly they will be starting to suggest a future that we already know. One of the major events that we expect will eventually happen is the birth of the Federation, so some hints at that will likely start being dropped in series 2. Incidentally, do you know when Vulcans first arrived on Earth. If you're thinking "First Contact", you're wrong ... or are you? Yes you are... heh, heh.

As with most of the Star Treks, there are some episodes that are really quite good and others that ... well ... aren't. From the occasional spark of some real Science Fiction being explored to the occasionally terribly inane episode, the only thing to do is watch them all. One thing that is obviously different that was only just starting to be introduced in Voyager is ... sex. Acknowledgement that people on a space ship actually might fancy each other at the very least. And occasionally they are "out of uniform". About time too!
