I didn't really watch Enterprise (it was pre-DVR for me, and we were never home, so we pretty much missed the series and still need to watch it). I liked the idea of the show, set back at the beginning of the program. Plus, I'm a Bakula fan.

I have loved Fichtner from the beginning of his career. He was my favorite even tho he was kinda a villian. He was in a difficult situation (marriage-wise). Second favorite on there was the brother-in-law.
