The fourth live-action "Star Trek" spin-off series launched in 2001 after the conclusion of "Voyager," "Star Trek: Enterprise" is often credited with killing the franchise on television. As such, the prequel series is perhaps the most underrated in all of "Trek." While it's true that the show was canceled after four seasons, and "Trek" wouldn't return to the small screen for more than a decade, the series still has plenty of great episodes.
Much has been made about the Xindi War story that dominates Season 3 of "Enterprise" — an early example of serialized storytelling when it was just gaining popularity in the early 2000s. Some of the show's best episodes debuted that season, featuring darker and grittier narratives than anything the series had seen before. The final season of "Enterprise" was also lauded as a step up, with new showrunner Manny Coto ("24") delivering bigger, bolder stories with deeper connections to the broader "Star Trek" lore.
But there are many more episodes that never seem to get their due, especially in the first two seasons, which are largely overlooked. If you're looking for some fun adventures that many fans seem to have forgotten, then polarize your hull plating and recharge those phase cannons, because these are the most underrated episodes of "Star Trek: Enterprise."
