Enterprise seriously needs something. The producers chose not to take the path that they should have, which could have been epic.
They could have had serious catastrophies from interfering with other cultures, leading up to the prime directive. Instead we get Last nights episode, which was one of the better episodes imo, but it needs to be more compelling.
What I gather from reading various hints from Berman is that they are taking a completely different direction. A corpse of a borg that travelled back in time from the movie Star trek 8:First Contact is discovered. The ramifications of this could be fantastic from a writing standpoint. The Enterprise crew is no longer bound to the history of the federation from previous series. Anything could happen after this event. Including humans reaching much higher technological levels earlier and the problems that arise from this.
The series greatly needed something Epic, they just chose a different route than most people expected, and I am all for it.
