I'm honestly not so sure since it's been so long since I watched Enterprise. I think I may actually hate Voyager a bit more. Yeah, Enterprise was bad, and Scott Bakula certainly did deserve to be on a better Star Trek (but we'll always have Quantum Leap), but at least it didn't start out with a cool premise and by the second episode completely abandon it. Or fill the show with as many terrible alien villains with half assed nose prosthetics as it could. Or try to drown people in even more unintelligible techno babble than usual to distract us from the fact that they're hand waving their way out of a problem again. Plus it didn't make a complete mockery of legitimately cool villains like the Borg.
Oh, and Enterprise didn't last for 7 years.
The only upside to Voyager was the Doctor, and the episodes with Reginald Barclay. Though sometimes even the Doctor got episodes that amounted to bad rehashes of excellent episodes from other series, particularly the episode that basically ripped off the trial of Data, but had him fighting for the rights to control his holo-novel. Except having rights to you work isn't nearly as interesting as potentially being a slave and forced to partcipate in dangerous experiments. And they waffled on the conclusion.
Have I mentioned I hate Voyager?
