I watched the series premiere of Enterprise last night, and came away with mixed feelings about the show. The theme song and opening montage are horrible. I wasn't thrilled with the story line, but some of the scenes (e.g. the firefight on Rigel) were well done. I need to wait a few more episodes before commenting more extensively on the main characters, but I didn't hate Scott Bakula as much as I thought I would, and Tucker is my early favorite. Of course, /. is talking about this, too.
