How many episodes have been aired so far? Five?
And what about the conventional wisdom among diehard fans of the Star Trek franchise? It goes like this: TNG didn't "really take off" until Season Three (though I beg to differ). DS9 didn't get its act together until late into the second season. The casts and crews of both series needed time to develop into true ensembles. By the end of both, fans and outsiders alike praised the two series for their consistence of excellence.
Voyager, however, put the fans on red alert. As a result, they emerged from the debacle of the third spinoff series disgruntled and cynical (and rightfully so).
Yet, some of us here are sparing Enterprise no room for misfires. By the second episode, HTFers were posting that they were ready to up on the series.
Ladies and gentlemen, let's give the program a chance. We are at the beginning of the first season. The show is off to a successful start, IMO. There will be starts and stops and restarts before it all comes together.
In short, it's too soon to write the series off.
No?
