There are only so many ways you can tell the same story. I think Star Trek used up most of these during TNG.
Sure there are a few new ideas - but not that many.
The trouble with Enterprise is that they SHOULD ( not that they do all/most the time) be considering the existing story and canon.
So - while I'm looking forward to season 4 - I'm not sure any more if it will be better than the first three. Although I guess season 3 was better than the first 2.

I find I enjoy it a lot more if I watch it on its merits & don't compare it too much with previous incarnations.
I agree series 3 has been the best so far. My main criticism is that as, someone has already said, they have messed around too much with the time travel element of the story. Some of the plot twists due to this have complicated the story, rather than moved it forward, in my opinion.
As a prequel series, the concept that it has to 'fit' with it's successors, is assumed, so I suppose, in a way, time travel is an understandable tool for the writers to use, to 'play' with the constraint. I just find the 'alternate reality' treatment of altered timelines a bit facile, sometimes.
