Star Trek Enterprise now available on iTunes

I noticed this as well... I saw it online on Wednesday evening and had been planning to buy it, but when I went to look for it yesterday it was nowhere on the main pages, and a search gave me the "This is unavailable" response.

Now today it's completely gone, and It looks like The Original Series has been taken down as well...

Looks like they removed it. It doesn't show up on US iTunes store anymore. I did manage to get it before they took it down, but the package is missing the episode "Dear Doctor", which wasn't listed even when it was there. It doesn't appear to be even showing up in searches now. It was yesterday, but then it would say that the item is unavailable for purchase in the US if you tried to click on it. (I was trying to confirm the missing episode wasn't overlooked somehow when I discovered all this.)

I actually liked Enterprise for the most part. But then again, I'm genetically programmed to like anything Trek (fanfic and fanfilms aside). I just had to remember to hit MUTE for the theme song (too painful). The show seemed to use the Voyager playbook in a lot of respects, but the last season was a lot of fun and did much to heal previous errors (cute dogs, crack addict vulcans and massage therapy sessions come to mind). Unlike a lot of the fanbase, the continuity porn transgressions didn't bother me too much (Borg, Ferengi etc). I generally don't buy iTunes shows because they're usually too expensive compared to the DVD sets (lower quality, more restrictive usage, and sometimes more expensive than the dvd sets). At least in this case, Enterprise is currently less than half the cost ($49) of the Enterprise set on Amazon. $111 for a low rated show almost universally panned? I know paramount lowered some of the Trek sets, but they should take a hint from Fox. You can slim sets of X-Files for $25 and Buffy and Angel for $20 on Amazon...way less than half of the original sets (X-Files was around $100). A dollar a show I might be tempted, but if I'm paying $35-$50, I'll get the DVD (if available) for around that price.

Well, it's been a long road getting from there to here.

"now available in the iTunes Store"

By available I'll go ahead and assume you mean only in the US again, like all the rest. Meh.

Enterprise was ok, started off slow, but it did pick up. TOS is by far the best written of them all, i would buy them on iTS if i didn't already own them all (bought them one by one on vhs a long time ago). on a ST awesomeness scale , i would have to say it goes TOS - TNG - ST:E - VOY - DS9 -Animated

Actually, once you get into it, the series does get very interesting; slow start, but as you progress, it does try to have some degree of relevance to tech that we have already (gene-sequencer, anyone?), and at least does a decent portrayal of a society trying to come to terms with the rapid progression of tech and intergalactic politics. I know I'll be flamed for saying the following, but at least it's less campy than the the original series w/shatner; much closer to TNG than the original.

Worst Star Trek series, ever.

This was originally released in Hi-Def on TV. I'm waiting for the 720p that the iTunes store is promising to go along with the release of AppleTV. I have downloaded a few of the Enterprise Hi Def shows from Xbox Live, they look pretty good. I never watched this when it originally aired, but now I find it not to be too bad.

>Here's hoping Deep Space 9 shows up on iTunes soon.

That's what I'm talking about.
