Consisting primarily of stand-alone episodes that integrate ongoing story arcs, season 2 showcases the primary cast with generally good results: Mayweather (Anthony Montgomery) visits the "boomer" cargo ship he was raised on in "Horizon"; Hoshi (Linda Park) experiences unsettling transporter symptoms in "Vanishing Point"; and Tucker (Connor Trineer) plays a pivotal role in several episodes, notably "Dawn," "Precious Cargo" and "Cogenitor." And while "Regeneration" provoked controversy among fans for introducing the yet unnamed Borg in an early Starfleet context, it's a fine episode (with echoes of The Thing) that holds up to scrutiny, while others (including "The Crossing," "The Breach" and "Cogenitor") feel somewhat recycled, indicating the challenge of finding new ideas in the Star Trek canon. Overall, however, season 2 is consistently strong, with several episodes directed by cast alumni from previous Trek series, including NextGen's LeVar Burton, and Voyager's Roxanne Dawson and Robert Duncan McNeill. They all lead up to a devastating attack on Earth (with seven million casualties, including Trip's younger sister) in "The Expanse," ending the season with high-stakes mystery as Enterprise enters a treacherous region of space in search of the Xindi, an enemy race that factors heavily in season 3.
Abundant bonus features include a generous selection of deleted scenes (non-essential, but interesting to fans); audio commentary (on "Dead Stop" and "Regeneration") by writers Mike Sussman and Phyllis Strong, who explain the challenge of writing under constantly shifting production conditions; and text commentary (on "Stigma" and "First Flight"), in which Trek veterans Michael and Denise Okuda demonstrate their encyclopedic knowledge of Star Trek fact and fiction. Six Easter eggs, known as "NX-01 Files," are hidden on the Special Features menus; they offer brief glimpses into specific aspects of production, including set recycling and art direction. "Enterprise" secrets are revealed for those who pay meticulous attention to detail; "Inside 'A Night in Sickbay'" offers a behind-the-scenes assessment of that memorable episode; and "LeVar Burton: Star Trek Director" celebrates the actor's smooth transition to directing after his stint on Next Generation. "Enterprise Profile: Jolene Blalock" is a tribute to the sexy actress by her fellow cast members and executive producers Brannon Braga and Rick Berman, including Blalock's assessment of T'Pol's pivotal role as Enterprise's resident Vulcan. Best of all, however, are the hilarious outtakes: They show the cast as a family unit, combining hard work with humor as the second season progresses. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of Star Trek Enterprise - The Complete Second Season
Fantastic story telling with great audio and video mastery I usually rent these but I made an exception for this one. <

>Enterprise bridges the gap between first contact and the 60's show that started it all. <
> <
>In season 2 insight is gained into Vulcan-Human and Vulcan-Andorean relations. A host of species are introduced including the first Romulan Human encounter. <
> <
>The video quality is outstanding despite the fact that I am projecting this onto a 10 foot screen with no hint of pixelization or movement artifact in fast moving scenes. The colour rendering is phenomenal and much better than previous star trek dvd's. <

Star Trek Enterprise Season Two - The End Of One Era
Star Trek Enterprise had the distinction of being the series that ruined an almost forty year old franchise.But in the end it's only crime was bad timing, the creators total disregard to continuity,as well as wasting time putting around the galaxy, and focusing on the confusing Temporal Cold War while fans wanted to see the early days of Starfleet leading up to the founding of the United Federation of Planets.
<
>By the time of the second season, it was pretty obvious that Enterprise was a disappointment to viewers who felt the show direction was weak as well as "Franchise Trek" becoming stale (indicated by 2002's Star Trek Nemesis's poor box office performance). After the follow-up to the excellent first season finale (Shockwave pt II),the season consisted of weak episodes(Precious Cargo, Canamar,The Crossing,Horizon, and the terrible A Night in Sickbay),among some of it's finest(Carbon Creek, Minefield, Stigma, Future Tense,Judgment,Cogenitor, Regeneration, and the best Enterprise episodes ever,Dead Stop ).Fans who first tuned in to see how the steps were taken for the UFP to be formed(which would be touched upon during the last episodes of the fourth and final season) had to contend with two seasons worth of "Boldly Going Nowhere.
<
>By the end of season two,sensing a change in directionwas needed, the show took on a different course as Enterprise respond to an attack on earth ("The Expanse", an allusions to 9-11), and try to stop the Xindi race from developing a weapon of mass destruction.This story arc continued into the third season,resulting in some of the best episode ever filmed.Unknown to the cast and crew,the problematic show was halfway through it's run.
I expected more...
I love the shows, but for a hundred dollars, I hate the quality. The very first disk had the episodes numbered wrong. I ended up watching them out of order and was thoroughly confused. The episodes are listed, left to right, from the top, as: 028 - Shockwave pt2; 027 - carbon creek; 029 - minefield; 031 - dead stop. Of course, I watched 28, then 29, then I noticed the mix up. Carbon creek should be 29 and minefield should be 30. What an annoyance. One that should not exist for $100. It would be nice if Paramount would replace the disk with a corrected version, but I won't hold my breath. Again, I the consumer, will be forced to accept an inferior product, because we all know, you can't return an open DVD.

>I will also take this opportunity to voice my complaint that you are forced to watch an opening cut scene that lasts for 20 seconds. I know it's not much, but I should be able to skip it if I want to. I also noticed that you cannot skip the credits, you must simply fast forward them. I hate that. I paid for the content, I should be able to choose what content I watch and what I skip.
