One of the things I really like about Enterprise is that episode tied to the Temporal Cold War arc (which has been pretty cool all around) aren't pre-announced, they just show up. Though the Suliban are pretty boring as an enemy, they need to either be beefed up or replaced. Threats also need to be more external to the ship, as a friend of mine who has actually written for Trek says "everybody knows they won't blow up the Enterprise", as such threats within the ship lack a certain urgency. One thing that would be good is to have the Suliban actually win a round or two in the Temporal War, the more regularly they lose the lower the threat. I really like the fact that they've broken out of the episodic model, episodes don't start and end in the same condition, when the Enterprise gets damaged it's really damaged and they really need to get it fixed. Don't lose that.

As for the movies the author couldn't be more wrong. They need to be LESS like Spock humps the whales, that was boring and stupid without the joke the movie would be insufferable. More action, more edge of your seat. They've proven in the movies that they actually WILL blow up the Enterprise, that's good. One thing for sure: less Borg. The Borg are a bad enemy because they're too good, defeating them always require deus ex machina garbage. I would say more Romulans but somehow in Nemesis they made the Romulans completely boring. Bad guys need to be cool not just destructive, if the viewer can't understand why the bad guy would do what he's doing then they lose suspension of disbelief. In order to do that they need to breath more life into the cultures of the bad guys.
