While the first three seasons of Enterprise struggled to gain the support of fans due to continuity and story recycling issues, season 4 stood out as one of the best seasons of any Star Trek show. Manny Coto taking the reigns of the show really helped it. Sadly, by then it was too late to save the show and the franchise. Season 4 isn't one large story arc, and it isn't an episodic season where each episode stands as its own story. The arcs in this season are 3 to 4 episodes long and it works perfectly. This season also managed to bring something new to the table, which was answering questions fans have had for decades. "Why do the Klingons in The Original Series look different than the Klingons from Star Trek: The Movie and onward?", "What would happen if the pre-federation Vulcans got into a political and military skirmish with Starfleet?", "How long were the Romulans aware of Earth and how long had they planned on infiltrating and conquering Vulcan?", "Were there other Khan type augmented humans out there?", "Had prejudice and xenophobia mostly been eradicated on Earth immediately before the formation of the federation?". We even get two extremely dark episodes that take place entirely in the alternate mirror universe. The only bad episode of the season is the finale, which takes place during The Next Generation, and it's only for (not spoiling) its use of a very unpopular Trek 'ending' cliche. Even if you skip season's 1- 3, season 4 is a must for any Trek fan.
