I refuse to watch Enterprise on principle, so I can't say much on Archer.
The new Kirk is just an annoying college kid, who's attempts at being "rogue" makes him look more like a douchebag.
But you'll watch a reboot that takes the best part of 2 decades of ST history and wipes it's arse with it in an alternative time line reboot?
Just curious what is the principle that stops you watching Enterprise?
The reality is that all the Star Treks except for TNG and TOS had to resort to late season stunts to keep the interest. Enterprise changed format, from individual story lines to a a prolonged storyline in involving the Xindi
Deep space nine did the same thing with the Dominion War story line
Star Trek Voyager just brought in the eye candy, albeit her story line was actually quite interesting.
Of course it all pales in comparison to Stargate which was just much better, except for SGU which was just a lot of arse and will be, forever, the final nail in SG franchise.
