The pilot episode of Enterprise was really good.

Probably the best episode and at least as good as much of the 2009 film.

As I said in my earlier posts the problems I have with Star Trek (2009) aren't really directorial but the 'reboot' happened all in the media water as far as I can see because Nemesis (which wasn't brilliant but in no way deserved the hammering it got) and it (as with the better episodes of Enterprise) were of the same general quality.

Nemesis was notably better than Generations or Insurrection but the media was still on Trek's side back then.
