God please, no! The first season was amazing and everything I'd hoped for. I think they did exactly what they needed to do and it seemed like a plausible prequel. I didn't even mind the theme song (I still know it by heart) and I loved the opening montage. The second season is where they forever lost my favor and I quit before they even got halfway through it. It was terrible. So, so terrible. And that series finale. WHAT WAS THAT? Although by that point, I hated Trip anyway so I wasn't too pressed about it. It was so random though idek. Also, I feel like they somehow managed to portray an ENTIRE species completely OOC (the Vulcans

Yeah, I can't see it happening either. I felt much the same as you about Enterprise, and honestly, I don't think it's the kind of thing where people were devastated that it was killed off before its time.
I got the impression that a lot of people were like, "Well thank god that's over," more than anything. :x
If the show had aired back when TNG aired, they might have been able to get away with a few shaky seasons before righting the ship. They didn't have that kind of time or the patience of the networks or fans in the 2000s though.
The issues with Vulcans, Jesus. Just when I remember the whole debacle with Archer carrying the katra of Surak, the young T'Pau, the ambassador admitting Vulcans keep the humans on the leash because they are actually jealous and afraid of human superiority to Vulcans (arguably the worst SF troupe - humans being secretly superior to every other species in some way). T'Pol in general, T'Pol getting off on emotions, T'Pol going into heat, T'Pol getting HIV. The whole debacle about underground addict mind melders and mind HIV. Vulcans vs Romulans/ Vulcans vs Andorians. The state of the Vulcan society in general

I knew people in other corners of the Internet who RAVED about that Vulcan trilogy in S4 you described, but I never really cared for it. I liked the one with Brent Spiner, though the acting of the Augment actors was HORRIBLE. I didn't ever really gel with T'Pol anyway. I kinda took a dislike to her from the get go because she was a Vulcan on a starship of humans as their science officer. The analogy with Spock wasn't exactly subtle. XD
I like the show on the whole, but S2 was a killer. It was just boring. To me, each season had a little story arc. The first was Boldly Going For The First Time, the third was the Xindi and the fourth was the start of the UFP. The second... was just Boldly Going For The Second Time. It was boring, and a lot of the episodes are pretty forgettable (but I REALLY love the Borg one).
But no way are they going to get their fifth season. Because IMHO... CBS don't give a fuck about Star Trek. They get a few bucks from the JJ movies because they own the rights to the entire franchise, but they've shown no sign that they want to make something on their own terms. CBS just want the maximum amount of profits for the least amount of effort on their part. They're just looking on Star Trek as a cash cow that they can milk $$$ from books to video games to DVDs to the odd JJ film. Plenty of people have said that they'd love to do a new show, but CBS haven't done a thing. I really, really doubt that they're going to give Netflix the rights to make a
