Star Trek: EVERY Season Ranked Worst To Best

16. Enterprise - Season 4

The fourth season of Enterprise is easily its most fun. They dropped the season long arc style, reverting back to shorter arcs. They kept several two-parters and three-parters though, allowing for a little more room for each story to spread.

The news of the show's cancellation would reach the crew during filming on In A Mirror, Darkly, with These Are The Voyages serving as the much derided final episode of the show.

The season was generally received much more warmly by critics, even though ratings continued to slide. Once the show was cancelled and the final episode aired, episodic Star Trek would not resurface again until the first season of Discovery. The under performance of Nemesis also left a bitter taste in the fans' mouths.

However, the season itself is something of a triumph. It manages to fix the continuity errors of the bumpy headed Klingons and delves into the background of the Vulcan logician movement. The true ending to the show in Terra Prime cements Enterprise as one of the brightest examples of Star Trek's future, even if they took their time getting there.

As the show unfortunately was cut down before its prime, there remains to be seen whether any of the plot threads left dangling will be picked up by the newly announced Star Trek: Strange New Worlds series featuring Pike and the Enterprise. Fingers crossed, it would be wonderful to see Jolene Blalock reprise the role of T'Pol, if only once more!
