Just put on First Contact (BD), launching my Trek 'alternate universe' watch-through
Continued this watch-through while in the hospital the last few days:
ENT 1.01-02 "Broken Bow"
ENT 1.03 "Fight or Flight"
ENT 1.04 "Strange New World"
ENT 1.05 "Unexpected"

I had to get a lobotomy in order to sit through it
Nah remember a while back I decided to reconcile ENT by calling it a divergent universe that began with First Contact and ends (currently) with Trek 2009? I decided to put my money where my mouth is and try to enjoy it as that separate entity

That's actually a really good way to look at the series.
Maybe I can sit through it too with the frame of mind.

LOL. Yeah, I remember reading your post a while ago. I've never really had a problem regarding Enterprise as canon - I only wish that the show could have stood on its own two feet without that stupid Temporal Cold War getting in the way. I said to myself TF! when Archer told Daniels and his future buddies to get the hell out of his century.
Not too bad....I was thinking about starting a thread on the issue but I've been pretty doped up on painkillers the last few days so I don't know that my thoughts on the first few episodes would be terribly cogent

Does this mean no more ENT hate, Digi? It had great episodes... and stinkers... just like any other Trek series.
Have you found a way to enjoy VOY?
I'll reserve judgment on whether it deserves the VOY treatment until I'm done the series
Haven't decided yet whether I'm going to skip Regeneration and TAtV though.... Besides being just a generally awful episode, TAtV also clashes with my ENT worldview. And Regeneration just offends my sense of basic logic

TatV is just horrid. I never rewatch it. My ENT stops at the sad yet hopeful Terra Prime.
I'm rewatching VOY now myself. Well, the episodes I really loved. I'm enjoying the shift from Kes to 7/9. Issues of individuality, conformity, humanity. Funfunfun.
Yeah....I may just stop on Terra Prime. Was considering giving the 'relaunch' books a shot too (Good That Men Do/Kobiyashi Maru/Raptor's Wing), particularly considering TGTMD basically goes ahead and dismisses everything in TAtV as fraud and cover-up lol. But I guess that depends on whether or not I want to gouge my eyes out by the end of the series
