I like it. Initially I liked it a lot; then stupid Star Trek writing took over -- recycled plots, Klingons, all the rest. So I stopped watching after a while. But this season has been better -- the Xindi thing at least gives the show some focus and momentum, and so the scripts have been more interesting; the show is actually going somewhere.

Mind you, Berman and Co. have a lot to answer for. The idea of a prequel is good, because you can show how the Federation came to be, all the mistakes that humans made that led to the prime directive, finding interesting ways of introducing, slowly, all the races that we've known from earlier Trek. But instead we got Boring Starfleet Perfection every episode after the first ten or so. And most of the usual races showed up pretty quickly, with no surprises, although I liked the new version of the Andorrans. The Xindi storyline was necessary to literally get Enterprise out of the Standard Star Trek Universe where it was trapped.
