Watching Star Trek Enterprise for the first time

It seems I just can’t get enough of Star Trek, or let’s say a specific kind of Star Trek. But after only recently finishing Star Trek Voyager and whilst still watching the latest season of Discovery, I figured I might as well jump into the next show of the franchise.

Star Trek Voyager Season 7

It took me longer than expected from my last post about Star Trek Voyager to finish the show. One of the reasons could be that I tried to enjoy the show as long as possible (since it feels like the end of an era). Like the last time, I want to highlight a few scenes I enjoyed the most.

But unlike TNG or DS9 I never managed to see more than the first few seasons (at least in parts). So it was about time and I slowly but surely managed to watch one season after another. Since I recently finished the 6th Season, I wanted to highlight the three episodes I enjoyed the most.
