Can you explain what you are enjoying about it? I just dropped it about 4 or 5 episodes into the final season because I just couldn’t keep slogging through.
Between the baby oil lathering decontamination scenes and overall lack of believable or interesting characters and plot lines, I find it to be the least enjoyable Trek I’ve ever watched (so far) aside from maybe TOS.
Help me see your perspective, where it is enjoyable. And please don’t even mention the intro.
It’s an interesting time capsule from the turn of the millennia. Like The Practice, it’s interesting to see the way society shifted after 9/11 so starkly presented in art.
It’s still got a whif of that 90s star trek energy.
Scott Bakula is a institution.
They really go for it a few episodes, there’s no reservations they just have the male engineer get pregnant or the captain get obsessed with space eggs, or the crew get attacked by the cum monster
Doctor Phlox is great and denobulans are a good addition to the alpha quadrant.
Has a great borg episode.
The xindi are cool, actually.
They nailed the uniforms.
You can simply jerk off during the decontamination scenes until they’re over.
I’m at least slightly okay with the first decontamination scene between Trip and T’Pol. I can appreciate the idea that they planned the whole “starting out with a lot of open disdain for each other but growing together” arc and starting them out with some belligerent sexual tension. Because this is the thirstiest Trek they achieved this with a blue light, some underwear and a can of lotion, but at least there’s an idea there.
The scene that makes me say “okay guys dial it back a bit” is…the crew are locked in their rooms, and Hoshi manages to break out into an air duct in the ceiling, which she falls out of, which somehow tears her top off, so she shows up at Malcolm’s door with her tits in her hands saying “just shut up and give me a shirt.” It’s not really a character moment between the two, it’s not like they’re kinda into each other but because of their ranks they’re trying to stay professional but they keep ending up in each other’s personal space…it’s just “We took one of the lead actresses shirt off. That’s the “””“”““joke””“”“”“.”
If you believe in the final episode, they failed, hard. Otherwise, I’ve grown to like it, found the beard from the latter half of season 3. Shame the post 9/11 dark shift killed it before it could get its seven. Feel much the same about Lower Decks, too soon.

Not parent, but; Enterprise is one of my favorites. Some things that I really like about it:
These are the things I can think of right now, but I really enjoyed it over all (of course with its ups and downs per episode).
The final season got ripped off. They had to rush to try and have an ending.
