Alien-Nazis ... or Nazi-Aliens, let that one sink in and then try to form an objective opinion on Enterprise 
Well... Formulaic? Yep. Cliched? Darn tootin'. It was moronic writing, but at the very least the aliens siding with the Nazis is at least a logical course of action, as they were the largest power for a good while there, and thus the safest way to safeguard their goals. Anyway, you expect them to side with the Soviets, or the Americans?! They'd be working in a Siberian gulag or getting cut-open on an operating table in Area 51 in no-time.

But the fact still remains, as Sarno so eloquently points out, 3 & 4 were
light-years ahead of 1 & 2, and truly are the seasons that should be referenced when judging the series as a whole.
