'''''Star Trek: Enterprise''''' (originally titled '''''Enterprise''''' until Season 3) is the fifth live-action TV series set in the ''[[Star Trek]]'' universe and the sixth in total. Created by [[Rick Berman]] and [[Brannon Braga]], and based upon [[Gene Roddenberry]]'s classic {{y|1966}} [[Star Trek: The Original Series|''Star Trek'']] (and its subsequent spin-offs), ''Enterprise'' was a "prequel", set a century before the time of [[James T. Kirk|Kirk]] and [[Spock]]. The series followed the voyages of the first [[starship]] [[Enterprise (NX-01)|''Enterprise'']] and [[human|mankind]]'s first steps into the "final frontier". Initially titled as simply ''Enterprise'', the series ran an abbreviated four seasons. The series debuted in {{y|2001}} on the [[UPN|United Paramount Network]]. It was cancelled in {{y|2005}}.
 
 
As of {{y|{{CURRENTYEAR}}}}, due to its status as a prequel series, ''Enterprise'' is the only ''Star Trek'' production whose continuity is not affected by the events of the [[Star Trek (film)|2009 film]] reintroducing the crew of [[James T. Kirk (alternate reality)|James T. Kirk]].

==Summary==
 
''Enterprise'' was set in the [[22nd century]], at a time before the [[Federation]] and while [[United Earth]] was just becoming a player in [[space|interstellar]] [[politics]].
 
 
One distinction from all previous ''Star Trek'' series, which used [[stardate]]s to establish chronology via [[Captain's Log]] entries, was that ''Enterprise'' used [[Earth]] calendar references (days, months and years).
 
 
''Enterprise'', like ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' before it, tended to avoid an episodic format and featured numerous [[story arcs]] throughout its run. Story lines included the [[Temporal Cold War]] and the [[Xindi incident|Xindi arc]] that took up the show's entire third season.
 
 
Like its predecessor, ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'', ''Enterprise'' aired on [[UPN]], rather than in first-run syndication like [[TNG]] and DS9. Initially, the ratings for ''Enterprise'' were as strong as those for ''Voyager'', but the new series steadily lost viewers, and was finally canceled after its fourth season.
 
 
Numerous factors contributed to the demise of ''Enterprise''. Due to its setting, the show was perhaps doomed from the start to step on the toes of previous [[canon]] and [[fanon]], provoking the ire of the core ''Star Trek'' fan base. ''Enterprise'' may also have taken a ratings hit because viewers that used then-new digital video recorders were not yet included in official counts.
 
 
Even so, ''Enterprise'' accomplished a number of technical firsts for a ''Star Trek'' series, including the first episode aired in high-definition, {{e|Exile}}, and the first episode produced entirely with digital video equipment, {{e|Storm Front}}. The series was also the first to be produced in widescreen format.
 
 
==Basic plot==
 
Launched in the year [[2151]], the {{class|NX}} [[starship]] ''Enterprise'', (the first of [[United Earth]]'s advanced [[warp|warp five]] vessels) was at first on [[Broken Bow (episode)|temporary assignment]]. Though years of preparation still lay ahead, the ship was unexpectedly put into service when a [[Klingon]] [[Klaang|national]] crash-landed on [[Earth]], putting the entire [[planet]] at stake should he not make it back to his people. Under the [[Captain|command]] of [[Starfleet|United Starfleet]] [[Captain]] [[Jonathan Archer]], [[son]] of the famed [[scientist]] [[Henry Archer]], the [[crew]] of ''Enterprise'' succeeded in their mission, but found themselves surrounded by deeper mysteries. Warranting the extension of their assignment into a full-blown mission of [[deep space]] exploration, the crew of the ''Enterprise'' set off into the unknown, taking with them a [[Vulcan]] [[science officer]] (or chaperone) named [[T'Pol]] and a [[Denobulan]] [[doctor]] named [[Phlox]].
 
 
''Enterprise''{{'}}s first years were rocky; while the ship made [[First contact|contact]] with such [[species]] as the [[Suliban]] and the previously mentioned Klingons, such contact was not peaceful. In its first two years alone, the ship's crew found themselves in armed conflict with a range of species from the [[Tholian]]s to the [[Coridan]] to the [[Borg]]... and things only got worse. By its third year in space, an [[alien]] species known as the [[Xindi]] brutally attacked Earth, killing millions.
 
 
The NX-01 was dispatched to a remote and previously uncharted area of space known as the [[Delphic Expanse]] in order to prevent the Xindi from completing their ultimate goal of destroying [[Human]]ity. While the mission was successful, after nearly a year in the Expanse, the ship suffered severe [[damage]] and many losses.
 
 
Upon returning home, ''Enterprise'' served a more [[diplomatic]] role in the service of United Earth, easing relations between the Vulcans, the [[Andorian]]s, and the [[Tellarite]]s, and paving the way toward a [[Coalition of Planets]], an [[alliance]] that would eventually lead to the founding of the [[United Federation of Planets]]. Though still often tumultuous, ''Enterprise'' continued its mission of exploration as well, bringing Humans in contact with even more new [[worlds]] and new [[civilizations]].
 
 
Throughout its ten-year voyage, the events of ''Enterprise'' shaped the next generation of space exploration. ''Enterprise'' was truly the first to [[TOS|"boldly go where no man had gone before...]]"

==Background==
 
Perhaps the most controversial of all the ''Star Trek'' spin-offs, and certainly the most polarizing, ''Enterprise'' was created in the hopes of revitalizing the ''Star Trek'' franchise, ratings for the previous series, ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'', having waned near the end. Intended to be more modern, with characters far from Gene Roddenberry's [[24th century]] Utopian Humanity, ''Enterprise'' was situated in one of the least explored eras in the ''Star Trek'' universe and a time only 150 years from present day.
 
 
The producers - under the guidance of Roddenberry's successor, Rick Berman - sought to set the series apart from those that had come before, creating nearly every set, prop and costume anew and tending toward a more encompassing, "you-are-there" style of storytelling.
 
 
According to comments made by Executive Producer [[Brannon Braga]] in discussions with fans at [http://trekmovie.com/2007/08/12/vegascon-07-braga-reflects-on-a-life-with-trek/#more-920 TrekMovie.com], Berman's original idea for the series was to have the entire [[ENT Season 1|first season]] set on Earth as Humanity's first-ever warp starship was constructed. This was soon decided to be too far removed from the style of the franchise as a whole, and so the premise was redrafted.
 
 
The series was the first to incorporate lyrics into its opening theme song (unused lyrics did exist for the original series' fanfare); it also did not include the words ''Star Trek'' in its title until the third season episode {{e|Extinction}}.
 
 
Despite these departures, ''Enterprise'' producers also borrowed heavily from the classic series, using the triad of characters, Archer, T'Pol and [[Charles Tucker III|Tucker]] in much the same way as Kirk, Spock and [[Leonard McCoy|McCoy]].
 
 
It was their intention to bring ''Star Trek'' back to its fundamental concepts of exploration and "cowboy diplomacy", with [[Scott Bakula]] as Captain Archer, a far more Kirk-like commander than previous ''Star Trek'' headliners.
 
 
Premiering on {{d|26|September|2001}} with a strong opening, the two-hour pilot {{e|Broken Bow}} garnered a 9.9 overnight rating and a 15% share. Ratings, however, declined over the next few seasons, dipping to an average 2.5 million viewers an episode.
 
 
As early as the [[ENT Season 2|second season]], rumors of the show's imminent cancellation pushed the producers to find new directions to take the series. Beginning with the series' third season, ''Enterprise'' adopted a darker tone and a more violent arc, in some ways mirroring the post [[World Trade Center|9/11]] sentiment.
 
 
While many critics were impressed with the new pull of the series, ratings remained low, and the show was canceled at the end of its fourth season. Despite the protests and a hoped-for fan-funded fifth season, production of ''Enterprise'' ceased at the conclusion of the 2005 television season.
 
 
''Enterprise''{{'}}s opening title sequence is notable, featuring the [[Enterprise (OV-101)|''Enterprise'' OV-101]] shuttle, named in real life in honor of ''Star Trek'', an interesting paradox. Also used in the sequence: a clip of [[Zefram Cochrane]]'s ship, the ''[[Phoenix]]'', from ''Star Trek: First Contact'', and the real-life animated footage of the [[Mars]] [[Sojourner|rover]].
 
 
''Enterprise'' was nominated for five individual [[Saturn Award]]s, won an [[ASCAP Award]] in 2002 for "Top TV Series", was nominated for seventeen [[Emmy Award]]s, winning four, and two episodes were nominated for [[Hugo Award]]s.
 
 
''Enterprise'' was the first series to air in {{w|high-definition television|high definition}}. It was produced in 1080i with Sony HD cameras starting in Season 4; the first 3 seasons were filmed with traditional 35mm film cameras (which were then transferred to digital for broadcast) {{brokenlink|url=http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/news/article/6165.html}}.
 
 
The wrap party for ''Enterprise'' was held at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, 7000 Hollywood Boulevard on Wednesday, April 13, 2005 at 7:00 PM. The notes "Dress Festive" and that cocktails, dinner, and a DJ are available are on the invitation. The introduction featured the following text: "''This Mission May Be Over But Let's Get The Party Started! Paramount Network Television invites you and your guest to journey back in time at the historic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel and glimpse the future in the newly-launched Theodore Restaurant and Lounge. Let's commemorate the final voyage of Star Trek: Enterprise''".
 
 
Brannon Braga revealed via his Twitter account that before cancellation there was some talk about setting the entire fifth season in the [[mirror universe]]. [https://twitter.com/BrannonBraga/status/274249476712050688]
 
 
==Video games==
 
Only two official video games using the ''Enterprise''-era have been released. They are: ''[[Star Trek: Encounters]]'', and ''[[Star Trek: Legacy]]''. However, these two games are not true ''Enterprise'' games. The two games cover all five ''Star Trek'' shows, not simply ''Enterprise''.
 
 
==Syndication==
 
With four seasons, ''Enterprise'' reached syndication less than a year after its cancellation, in some markets airing multiple times a week. However, with the 40th anniversary of ''Star Trek'', ''Enterprise'' was replaced in syndication by "remastered" versions of classic [[TOS]] episodes on {{d|16|September|2006}}.
 
 
Episodes are available on [http://www.cbs.com/hd/?offset=0&category=hd&reload=true&pid=&show=enterprise CBS.com] and its sister site [http://www.tv.com/star-trek-enterprise/show/2498/summary.html TV.com]. [[Netflix]] online streaming subscribers can also view episodes.
 
 
The first three seasons are also available on the [[Xbox Live Marketplace]] (currently US only), a premium service offered with the Xbox 360. Each episode costs about two to three US dollars, and are available in both standard and high-definition widescreen. Two part episodes are broken up into two separate episodes and must be purchased separately.
 
 
All seasons are also available on the [[iTunes Store]] in both standard and high-definition widescreen.
