That’s it: Overall pretty solid.
E.g. definitely better first season than TNG.
Xindi was crap imho, but some really good stuff in season 4.
I was sad that they didn’t produce more after that.
I’m just gonna say it. When writing things, you should never fuck with time. There are very good shows that do a good job of it, without it becoming the answer to everything.
Star Trek is not one of those shows. (Dr. who, comes to mind.)
The time loop episode of TNG (Cause and Effect) is one of my favourite things I have ever watched. But that doesn’t affect the overall timeline so I don’t think it counts against your argument, which I agree with.

That first season of tng showed us how functional data is I wouldn’t change it for the urge
The Xindi arc has value as a snapshot of american mindset post 9-11. Justifying torture as an answer to terrorist act in a Star Trek series was wild.
fucking hell. I thought the pegasus was bad. Then I saw Sisko bomb a planet , section 31 in DS9, and now this.
They might as well have thrown Rodenberry’s bust into a woodchipper.
I’m glad they covered it but disgusted they leaned into it.
Yes, heard that take before!
Probably the reason I hated it.
Just not what I am watching Star Trek for…

Still over all enjoyed enterprise.

I swear, you can check the IMDb page for just about any sci-fi series, and there is about a 50% chance the top rated episode is a time loop episode.
In the case of Voyager, the top is s6e12 “Blink of an Eye” which involves a time-dilated planet. So, close enough.
that’s part of the problem with screwing around with all the timey-whimey stuff.
At the end of the day, it changes nothing. Like the year of hell arc in Voyager, with the krennim. the other species. all of that was just filler.
If the year of hell had been the entirety voyager it would have been the best star trek series ever
