To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone Before
TheEvilDog:
You're right, Scott Bakula was a poor choice, not because he's a poor actor, but I think a certain amount of people would keep thinking "When is Sam Beckett going to leap from this?". Though to be fair, the writers couldn't decide what to do for Archer and so they could never play up to Bakula's ability as a performer.
Interesting fact, its believed that during production, Archer's first name was going to be Jeffery. Until UK fans pointed out that its the same name as a disgraced author, actor and former minister. Then they were going to name him Jackson. Only to find out that there was exactly one Jackson Archer in the US. So to avoid a lawsuit, they finally settled on the name Jonathan, because there were 20 Jonathan Archers.

I don't know, he always seemed exacerbated when performing in Enterprise. Maybe its just the episodes I watched, but it just felt off with him. He didn't seem to standout from his subordinates like previous captains. Felt more like a civilian boat rather than pulling from earth naval traditions like the other series. But that's just one little bear's opinion.
Also Jeffrey Combs is a national treasure!
TheEvilDog:
He's probably wondering why he hasn't been able to leap out of that body yet and why Al and Ziggy haven't been able to help.
LeeC:
Haha I agree. No offense to Scott, I've seen quantum leap and he was fantastic. I just felt like he wasn't a good fit and they could have cast someone else. Also wasn't a fan of the opening theme. Just felt out of place. And that Vulcans can't stand the stench of humans and need to take smell numbing meds seems contrived, but perhaps I am nitpicking.
TheEvilDog:
You know what, let's just say Enterprise had a lot of problems. But hey, at least it's initials don't spell STD.
