Yeah, actually, you're right. I mean, I haven't been "Ooh, Trek!" for years, so comparing it to just trek is actually doing it a service. Compared to West Wing, Six Feet Under, Scrubs, South Park, CSI, etc. shows that it's just not worth any time at all.
I watched the episode of CSI today where they find a room with blood sprays all over the walls and the cause is not at all what you expect. In the same episode, they play our knowledge of Urban Myths against us by having a SCUBA diver found up a tree after a forest fire. And both bits were well done, the whole thing was solidly entertaining, none of the plot felt forced and it was very entertaining. It didn't make me think "Best TV ever!" but it was a whole level above Enterprise.
Enterprise, to me, seems to be aimed at its known market, which means that it will turn inward, feed on itself and die. Whether it's later reborn, once it becomes insignificant enough to be daring again, is another matter. For a moment I nearly typed "I hope so", but then I realised that I just don't care. I have 3 films and 200-odd episodes I care about and they aren't going away. If they want to churn out shit in addition to that, it doesn't hurt me, I have other tv I can watch.
