I think enjoying Enterprise just paradoxically requires you not being familiar with the other Treks, most importantly TNG.
But, paradoxically, what's the point? It's great seeing these guests, especially that absolute chameleon Jeffrey Combs, but if you don't know the continuity, then what's the point?
If you do know continuity, which, realistically, is the only way this episode should make sense, then you just want to bang your head against the wall. And I'm pretty sure that the gag about Ferengi being "funny" (it rarely worked) requires knowledge of continuity.
If you know continuity, then how could the Ferengi reach this deep into (eventual) Federation territory then be unknown for 200 years? Them not saying their race's name doesn't explain that.
Good thing Captain Archer one these were "funny" aliens stealing all their warheads and just let them go.
