I haven't seen much Enterprise (I'd guess half of season 1 and the Vulcan's
on 1950's Earth episode from season 2) and the only one that seemed like
'proper' Star Trek was the Vulcans on 1950's Earth episode (I don't know the
title). The others seemed like they could have been any science-fiction show.
