Assumed this topic had already been discussed but couldn't find the thread. Maybe that's for good reason.

I've been rewatching some S4 ST:ENT eps. I've complained before about how awful this series was, but always believed that the fourth season redeemed the series. I think I was wrong.

The multi-ep arc with Brent Spiner and the augments was pretty decent. The several ep arc about the corrupt Vulcan government and their eventual political restructuring and theological reawakening is great, on par with some DS9, but ultimately pretty niche in its appeal.

The one-offs are wretched. The one with the wheelchair bound inventor of the teleporter. The silicon based life forms that take over their bodies. Temporal Cold War.

I'm struggling to find why some episodes are pretty decent and many are unwatchable. Certainly, there are some episodes that appeal to me mostly based on their significance in the Star Trek universe, and this can make a middling episode much better for me although I recognize that this benefit is reserved for a very small segment of the viewing audience.

Mostly I'm just posting to bait Erik and maybe Josh into another conversation about ST. Sorry everyone who doesn't care.
