proof of the failings of Enterprise:

I'm a huge Scott Bakula fan. loved Quantum Leap--I have all the novels, the encyclopedia, and even the soundtrack. (it would be a much better soundtrack without the 11-minute interview on side 2, but I digress.) in my personal opinion, Scott Bakula is one of the most underrated actors around.

I gave up less than half-a-dozen episodes into Enterprise, because not even Scott Bakula could make me watch. I watched about as far as the first obligatory "weird alien sex" episode, and then, I was done.

how to improve it? I have to agree--let the franchise sit for a while. don't force it. after all, how many years went by between TOS and TNG? I didn't watch DS9; I didn't watch Voyager except to MSTie it with my friend Cara. if there is demand in ten, twenty, thirty years, bring it back then. otherwise, let it cool until a new generation demands it back. I, for one, don't yet.
