I should watch my favorite TOS episodes again at least and maybe the TOS films but there is also many new things I like to watch. TOS is definitely my favorite with Doctor McCoy being my favorite character. But I've seen many episode of Voyager and TNG as well. I also have an audio drama of the orginal script for City on the Edge of Forever. It's just the process of getting it from my computer onto my phone that isn't appealing to me. That audio version of City on the Edge of Forever, it's a bit of a strange release. I thought it might more of a full audio adaptation of that infamous script, but it's more like a reading of the teleplay, with several actors doing the parts. Plus there's the supplemental material containing straight readings of earlier drafts. I suggest you skip the first couple of segments with those straight readings and jump straight to the 3rd section with the multi-cast teleplay reading. I didn't, and the repetition got a big old in places.
On another note, I've been enjoying (if not always agreeing with some of the verdicts) the currently in-progress TOS rewatch series going on at Tor.com. Many of these I haven't seen in 30 years, so it's a way to revist them without actually owning and rewatching them.

There's also a comic book version of it.

Enterprise Season 1 Episode 3. Well Hoshi is super annoying again and her being an important part of the episode did not help, and unfortunately the other actors couldn't help her performance. Hopefully the next episode is much better.

Hopefully the next episode is much better. It isn't much better. It takes a little while to get good. And episode five is just weird.

I hope you realize that this will take forever. I tried that once. I made it to the begginning of TNG before I gave up and just watched whichever episodes I wanted to. If you really want to be a completist, you can also watch the Animated Series in between TOS and TMP. The animation is awful, and the writing is pretty inconsistent, but it has its moments. Also, if you really want to follow a strict chronological order, don't watch These Are The Voyages (the awful enterprise finale) until right after you watch the TNG episode Pegasus. {Minor Spoiler} These Are The Voyages is set during Pegasus with Riker playing a holonovel set ten years after the rest of Enterprise season 4. I've been doing a complete watch-through and it's taking me quite a while. Can't remember when I started, but it has to be at least a couple years ago. I skipped the animated series, have been fitting in the movies in as close to chronological order as possible. I'm currently in the middle of DS9.

I did it for the 40th: Everything in broadcast/ release order including the Animated series, took me just over the year, good luck to you masterdoctor.

Enterprise, Season 1, Episode 4. This is much more like it. Hoshi wasn't annoying and it explored it's idea of the crew turning on each other quite well. TaPaul(I think that is how you spell it) is quite good I think and it was nice to focus on a different set of the crew instead of Archer. All in all, a solid 7.5!

Enterprise Season 1, Episode 5 and 6. Two very good episodes, 5 being a very comedic outlook on Interspecies pregnancy and 6 a nice portrayal of what would happen to a human colony should they lose contact. both solid 8.5s.

I always thought the pregnancy episode was kind of dumb. Especially since it is a bit rapey that the alien didn't tell Trip that what they were doing in the holodeck was a sex thing. Terra Nova wasn't bad though.

But it could be interpreted either way.

Enterprise Season 1, Episode 6 - A good example of how violence can be used for a good thing (The Andorian Incident)
Enterprise Season 1, Episode 7 - A nice little filler episode that looks like it might be important later as the aliens from the first episode are the bad guys (Breaking The Ice)
Enterprise Season 1, Episode 8 - Fun episode where they actually meet a non human race on their own planet (Civilization)
Enterprise Season 1, Episode 9 - The Crew’s acting Captain was so annoying that he bogged down an episode that could have been a good episode but instead a really bad one instead (Fortunate Son)
Enterprise Season 1, Episode 10 - A great episode that edged the overall Season arc (Cold Front)
Enterprise Season 1, Episode 11 - An okay, but very unmemorable episode. Nothing much to say about it, really (Silent Enemy)
Enterprise Season 1, Episode 12 - I enjoyed this episode very much and getting to know Flox was a very nice way to spend an episode (Dear Doctor)
Enterprise Season 1, Episode 13 - Another unremarkable episode , but not by any means bad.(Sleeping Dogs)
Enterprise Season 1, Episode 14 - Quite enjoyed this episode, especially the ending with T’Pol (Shadows of P’Jem)

That's mainly because it introduces one of my favorite characters though. Dear Doctor is a pretty controversial episode. I don't have a problem with it, but some fans see it as evidence that Archer is a monster.

Enterprise Season 1, Episode 14 - Quite enjoyed this episode, especially the ending with T’Pol (Shadows of P’Jem) You're getting closer to viewing my favourite Enterprise season 1 episode - Acquisition (S01E19). It was the definitive turning point for me enjoying Enterprise in its 4 season entirety. Acquisition is a very funny story where its main character development that was slowly rolled out during episodes 1-18 comes to fruition. Its villains (I won't say who they are) are not one of my favourite Star Trek universe creations, but I genuinely enjoyed them in Acquisition. Having a prior experience (Next Generation and Deep Space 9) benefit of viewing the main villains' obnoxious characterizations slightly enhances this Enterprise episode. And...Hoshi is not annoying, she is beautiful, and that's final! Hoshi's plot line characterization is that she's a brilliant interpreter. NOT a seasoned soldier and that's where a possible liability begins...

The buck stops with Archer personally selecting Hoshi to his senior bridge staff.

I don't have a problem with it, but some fans see it as evidence that Archer is a monster. I prefer to see it as character derailment because of the studio mandate that there be no conflict between the show's main cast. It's like Janeway in Voyager's "Equinox", an anomaly of characterisation that doesn't seem to fit with what we've seen before or afterwards. It's interesting to see the character evolve in fits and starts over the course of the series, there'll be a marked change in Archer sometime in the future.
