I look at you, and I see the person I was three years ago. The explorer that my father wanted me to be. I lost something out there, and I don't know how to get it back.

This one hit me hard after everything that happened.

Yeah, I just dropped that show in S4 because I couldn't sustain my interest in it. Even when I really wanted to. Second worst ST behind TOS.

I see this a lot which is wild to me because I feel like S4 felt like it finally was real Star Trek but just rushed and some of the damage to some characters couldn't be fixed. All the major plot points that make Enterprise relevant to Star Trek happen in S4.

I'm curious where you put Discovery? That is the one I struggle the most with. My primary issue there is that for me I have to actually like and want to be invested in a character but as far as I'm concerned 10 episodes in to Discovery if the ship blew up all hands lost the Federation I can't think of anyone I'd feel sad for. Enterprise though has Trip and Phlox who are S tier, a few fantastic guest stars, and no character that is bottom bin material to me no matter how much fanfic quality writing they tried to force on T'Pol.

I really liked Phlox in the first episode, but never felt the followup was there.

As for Discovery, Saru is great, and he has a wonderful relationship towards the end. Michael is OK. Perhaps the show's biggest problem is that it has a big cast, but it never puts in the effort to develop those characters before it expects you to care at some chosen moment.
