ST:ENT's episodes are way more entertaining and better scripted than ST:TNG's. Archer is a better captain than Picard.
Well okay, Trip is an annoying faggot and they just *had* to include another frigid Vulcan, but other than that, ST:ENT rawks.

Enterprise is awesome and I've never understood the hate. It seems most people dislike it based on the theme tune alone and never even bother to watch an episode.
Saying it's better than TNG is going to far though imo, it has some fucking awesome episodes but TNG is a more solid show overall

Enterprise is a decent and unfairly-maligned show, I enjoyed it.
But let's get real here, anybody who grew up watching Star Trek and has seen all of the series knows that Enterprise is at the bottom of the pile. That doesn't mean it's bad, but there's a reason it was the first Trek since TOS to be cancelled early.
You're right. Janeway is much better than the both of them!

Enterprise is good but in the context of the series I understand why some people don't like it. It's supposed to be the first, chronologically, but they meet people that aren't supposed to show up at all until TNG (Ferengi, Travelers).
That said I do like it and will watch it on HDNet every once in a while. If you just ignore the anachronisms and enjoy it for what it is, and appreciate the stories, it's very good.
I think big name entertainment franchises in general are all falling into the bad habit of trying to please EVERYONE instead of just being happy catering to their niche markets. Plus I think new technology is partly to blame too because it becomes more about cutting edge special effects. I think movie technology will probably level out at some point and it will once again be about what you do with things than how new and fancy they are.
They need better writers. I can't remember the last time I was surprised by the ending of a Trek, or when the "delemma" presented wasn't something that a five year old child couldn't figure out in five minutes. BUt some content in those shows, and people will watch. Trek is pretty much the scifi equivelent on McDonalds -- nothing worth bothering with.
