The second season was
extremely different from the first. It was written better but took
the franchise off the beaten path of what fans were told we would
get before the second season premiered. This is the season
when fans began to leave the series never to return.
In season two the
shows core actors would become more comfortable working together as
a crew both on the show and in real life. The acting was much
improved and the special effects were top notch. The only lacking
material in the show were fresh ideas.
Season Two ended
strong and the series would continue to improve. This is a quality
boxed set and fans will love it.
PACKAGING
Enterprise's packaging isn't as cool as it looks. The outer case
that holds the disc is extremely nice, but reading the season number
through the opening on the side sucks. It will be difficult to
figure out which one is where on the shelf. The gray box offers no
color designation or season information on it. There is a clear case
which houses the disc holder and episode booklet. The individual
disc holders are held together with a clear plastic tape which
allows the holders to open like a book. I do like the hard exterior
case for shelf storage and if fans wanted to take the effort a quick
color coating over the four raised corner and black numbers could be
used to specify the seasons. It would look awesome and make the set
unique.
VIDEO:
The digital video quality is feature quality and looks outstanding.
It never looked so good on my local UPN Channel. No debris, no dirt
and no pixelation - just quality broadcasting at its best.
AUDIO:
The
5.1 rocks, for a television series.
Like season one the audio sound excellent and works the channels
pretty decent for a TV show. The rear channels are worked out a bit
which was impressive.
BONUS FEATURES:
They are minimal and who cares.
Just how much bonus material was created for DVD in 80's? Uh... like
none maybe. You do get a few things and it's enough.

SUMMARY:
The second season boxed set is the same quality as the first season
and is still loaded with material that the true fans will
enjoy. What an addition this makes to the collector. What a
shame that Paramount and UPN let the show die just when it was
getting good.
