It’s funny to hear folks throw Enterprise under the bus
To me, if I had to sum up WHAT IS STAR TREK?
It’s a multifaceted question to be sure.
But at its very core I think all of Trek is best summed up by this speech

Enterprise had it's moments and I fought to stop it's cancellation. Archer quoting his father on risk.... "We can't be afraid of the wind."
Generally I just want a bone thrown to me now and then to remind the audience WHY they are aboard these ships,
how important the mission is and how hard it was for them to earn the position and accept the risks of exploration, why ii's worth it.
Everything our astronauts today represent, the journey will better ourselves long term.
Why I did love that line from First Contact "You all are astronauts on some kind of star trek."
Cheesy jokey, but yes.... they are and remind the audience of that.
