6 Ways Enterprise’s Archer Broke & Created Star Trek’s Captain Mold

Star Trek: Enterprise‘s Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) both broke and created the mold of Captain of the Enterprise thanks to the series being a prequel. Set from 2151 to 2154, with its final episode glimpsing events from 2161, Enterprise chronicled the first starship by that name, the NX-01, which was Starfleet’s first Warp 5-capable starship that allowed for galactic exploration. The NX-01 Enterprise’s crew were true pioneers, and Jonathan Archer was regarded by future generations as “the greatest explorer of the 22nd century.”
