Personally, I think Star Trek Enterprise was in a unique position as Star Trek series go. With a ship
that was so Futuristic it was Retro, or so Retro it was Futuristic? There are enough issues about
Star Trek:Enterprise to fill a thousand cargo holds! So have fun and don't end up looking too much like Porthos when you're done! :-/

I hold some very serious personal issues with Star Trek: Enterprise.

They transcend Treknology. They transcend Chronology. They transcend Astronomy.

Simply put, Enterprise should not have been made. It was wrong from the get-go. And to this day, it has despoiled the Trek Continuum.

From the top of my head:

The Klingon Homeworld four days distant from Earth at warp 5.
Rigel even closer to Earth.
Illogical Vulcans who put Earthers in their place for a century. And Vulcan's problems are solved overnight after the rediscovery of Surak's artifact.
Instantaneous communication anywhere in space to Earth (subspace radio more advanced than in the original series?).
Phase guns more advanced than Captain Pike's laser guns a century later.
Photon/ic torpedoes identical to those in use on 1701-A and -D.
What happened to Time Warp Factor and Time Warp Drive?
All the exciting special effects of a 24th century starship sidestepping 1701 of the 23rd century.
Klingons losing their crests due to a metagenic virus. If this is to explain Classic Series Klingons then why were the abominations allowed to live, prosper, and man ships of the line in the Klingon Empire after a century's time?
Everyone but Earth has transporters and tractor beams.
The Temporal Cold War and it's idiotic resolution.
Characters even shallower than Voyager's characters and stories even weaker to match.
Complete abandonment of Gene Roddenberry's philosophy and ideals beyond the merest of lip service.
The NX-Enterprise itself from its over-advanced design details to its lack of recognition in Star Trek's post-22nd century history.

It's not a laughing matter.

One could make the argument that each Trek series exists in a slightly different Star Trek Universe. ST XI hammer that point home.

Ever read the Enterprise novels? "The Romulan War" boldly explores how silly and implausible Enterprise is. Romulans with a magical tele-capture system enable them to take remote control of starships' propulsion and weapons systems. They use it time after time and nobody has the brains to install manual cutoff switches, jumpers, or simple means of severing onboard control connections.

There are no longer any half-decent writers left. I have also noticed, quite obviously, that Pocket Books is now saving money by not paying royalties to use Star Trek fonts on their covers!

Trek has slowly gone to hell.
