I know it was mentioned that it shared design points with an earlier ship that was never released, but I'm hoping for some kind of Federation/Klingon show. Those kind of dynamics would make for great storylines. I also hope it is around the TNG era as that was when starfleet was in full exploration mode. There was still many areas of the galaxy not fully mapped in that era.

Meh. For science fiction people, you would think they would move the story forward.

If ENT was the beginning, the first 'Trek', then anything new has to be set after that, and the time between it and TOS is ripe for the picking: war with the Klingons, Romulan intrigue, etc.

DancinJack wrote:In case anyone hadn't heard yet this new series is going to be taking a continous approach, rather than episodic as most ST has been until this point. I don't really see any issues with that. I just hope the story telling is up to snuff for the episodes that lack action.
DancinJack wrote:FWIW, I think the only reason people think it's based between ENT and TOS was because of the NCC designation?

And yes, the ship is ugly.
I haven't watched Trek on a semi-serious basis since DS9 and there's nothing here to make me want to change my mind.

Amazing contribution, Chuck.
