What Is ‘Star Trek: Enterprise’ About?
Taking place a century before the events ofThe Original Series, the series follows the adventures of the NX-01Enterprise, Starfleet’s first Warp 5-capable ship. Captained by Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula), the ship and its crew venture out into the stars to make new allies and enemies - all while struggling under the supervision of the more-advanced Vulcan race, who have an agent, T’Pol (Jolene Blalock), on board the ship. The series takes an in-depth look at a number ofalien speciesonly glimpsed in earlier series, like the proud Andorians, the contentious Tellarites, and the piratical Orions. Later seasons would embroil the crew in a Temporal Cold War, revisit theMirror Universe, and explore the origins of the Federation. The series debuted in 2002 on UPN, but unlike many of its predecessors, did not reach the then-traditional seven-season mark.
Plagued by falling ratings and behind-the-scenes turmoil at UPN,Enterprisecame to a premature end after four seasons. And while characters from other contemporaryTrekseries have popped up onPicard,Lower Decks, andProdigy, don’t hold your breath for anEnterpriserevival.John Billingsley, who played the Denobulan doctor Phlox on the series,doubted the series could be revived, althoughConnor Trineer’s Trip Tucker did make a brief return appearance in one of last year’s animatedVery Short Treks.
The first season ofStar Trek: Enterpriseis nowstreaming on-demand on Pluto TV, while the entire series is airing as part of their Sci-Fi channel. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
