A radical departure from the previous four "Star Trek" series, the 2001 spin off "Star Trek: Enterprise" was a prequel series set barely a hundred years after Earth's first contact with extra terrestrials. Before the founding of the United Federation of Planets, before Earth had fleets of powerful starships, phasers, or even transporters, "Enterprise" chronicled the first experimental Warp 5 ship (the titular Enterprise) and its mission to explore the final frontier. While Earth's only alien friends, the Vulcans, remained skeptical of humans' ability to navigate interstellar affairs, Captain Jonathan Archer — consummate explorer — sets out to prove them wrong.
While the first two seasons were mostly standalone adventures that harkened back to classic "Trek" of old, Season 3 embraced a season-long story. It introduced the Xindi into the franchise as a nefarious new alien race comprised of five different species plotting to destroy Earth. The fourth season would be ambitious, turning to a series of multiple-episode stories that dipped into classic "Star Trek" mythology, too. Though never a hit in the ratings department "Star Trek: Enterprise" is better than you might remember. It was unceremoniously canceled before it could make its fifth season, but the show has a number of gems from throughout its run. This is a list of its 25 best.
