It was lame because it was ENTIRELY too horny. Also the Xindi subplot was painfully obvious as an allusion to the war on terror. It didn’t land for me.

Obligatory Rick Berman is a piece of shit. The War on Terror arc is annoying, but in context I think ENT did a good job with it. For those who weren't alive or culturally aware at the time of initial airing, basically every piece of media got darker and more fascist-curious in the few years immediately following 9/11. ENT is a great case study in this because the first season had wrapped before 9/11 and the Xindi plot to a very dark turn starting in S2.
