This is an excerpt from my large "The Star Trek Journey" article on Broken Bow -
Though undoubtedly different, but still familiar with its surroundings, themes and typical, exciting ways of "Trek" story telling, the fifth series might be the long needed fresh, stimulating impetus to not only keep the flame of Trek from dying down, but bring it to blazing brighter than ever before. Though it's far too early to tell if "Enterprise" will actually reach this ambitious goal, its pilot "Broken Bow", which aired on Sept 26th in the United States, certainly helped to lessen my fears in regard to the dangers and problems associated with a prequel series (regarding consistency and continuity to the established Star Trek universe and the intellectual level of the Trek philosophy itself) and increase my belief in the great chances of this take on Trek. Or to reduce it to three words you might want to hear - I loved it!
