I really wish for a remake of Enterprise that focuses on Humans being extremely hosed-up newbies in space. Earlier launch of an Enterprise that - is mostly rigged-together from other stuff (maybe even some old missiles) and a few Vulcan gifts after the cooler looking sister ships were lost in space -packs literally old nukes and has no shields whatsoever - is crewed by people who still experienced WW3 and have a lot of experience in improvising - while still wnating to make the world a better place -isn't always monitored by rear end in a top hat Vulcans. In fact the Vulcans could be more friendly, but also way too busy to hold our hands with their own crazy space poo poo exploding in their faces all the time. - is in fact pretty lovely, but improves in performance as the crew literally bolts on better stuff they bought / scavenged / bartered with weird ETs. They can still have a dog onboard for all I care. So basically I want Star trek: Bebop? edit: The ship could even have a Saucer section - from a crashed UFO. Tape it to the remains of a spce frighter and voila! SavageGentleman fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Jun 28, 2019 |

Didn't Enterprise establish that humans barely ventured outside the solar system before the NX-01 was launched?

Jep, as far as I remember in the Enterprise canon humanity spent several decades rebuilding and creating a generation of bland & clueless white middle-class people before they tried their hand on space travel. But see where that brougt us!

The only time she really gets to show off her skills in the entire series is at the end when the Xindi decide "good at languages" means math too

They didn't have fast engines to go further. What was funny was that this guy grew up in space, knew how to fly and fix ships, knew how to do business Neelix wise with the others doing the same, but was relegated to pressing the coords and engage button 99% of the time.

The idea behind Enterprise was that Earth had expanded beyond the solar system and had colonies on nearby worlds, but that while they had warp drive, Enterprise had the first Warp 5 drive, which meant it could go faster and further out than any of the other Earth ships.

I even found a reason for the launch of USS lovely Enterprise: Vulcans: "Hey humans we see you're trying to build your own warp 5 ship. This thing looks like it could explode every second, what about we gift you one of our small explorer ships (a bit downgraded of course)? Humans: Yaaay! * Gather the best and brightest for the crew, prepares celebrated launch.* Eugenic tyrants who have been living in hiding for a few decades space the crew, steal the ship and leave Earth - with the promise to return and reconquer what was taken from them (with the help of allies and new tech). Humans: Welp...Time for the B-team and the ship that failed every space OSHA test! Vulcans:

Yeah, there are almost no chill Vulcans in Star Trek. Most of them are always super passive-aggressive and barely hold back their loathing or anger. I would love to see Vulcans that are doing a lot of meditation and self-work - or if you wanna keep things darker: have medication and implants - that make them truly emotionally neutral. More like Buddhist monks who have mastered this whole samsara business and have mostly left their ego behind, while still acting compassionate and enjoying things. But then Star Trek is not really happy with any mindset outside of Western individualism, so

It was pretty pathetic how low Enterprise was willing to go to get ratings and save UPN. I think Linda Park's expression sums up exactly how she was really feeling while Rick Berman was coming up with all these  I don't think there was a single decon scene without T'pol or Hoshi in it. And now that I think about it, I believe that every main female character in the series (who had more than 5 minutes screen time) was at one point in some form of undress. Shran's wife stripped down to her underwear, the female Augment's costume was a ripped tank-top, and then you have orion slave girls, Risa whores, alternate universe Hoshi, T'pol every 15 minutes, etc. It really played more like some sort of 90's sexy spy show than a real series that took place in the 21st century.

Big Mean Jerk posted:Isn’t that the same Vulcan from Lower Decks? Same actor, different character. Fun factoid from Memory Alpha, though: Memory Alpha posted:Vorik was played by actor Alexander Enberg, who had previously played the similarly-named Vulcan Ensign Taurik in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Lower Decks". Producer Jeri Taylor (who happens to be Enberg's mother) once suggested that Taurik and Vorik were twin brothers.

Some one else touched on it but Enterpise was the first human warp five. They show some of the older Earth ships whenever it is home. I think the ship Travis grew up on did like 1.5 or 2 tops.
