yeah, that went over my head.

Which part?

the previous two posts before mine lol i could look it up but... meh.

Always enjoyed the show - still rather like TNG (re-watched it all recently) - never watched Enterprise though... so i may have to check it out. or even really DS9 (only parts of that one). lol. anyways - curious about this one

Short version. 2009's Star Trek altered the timelines. When bad guy went back in time, and destroyed James T Kirk's dad's ship, it split the timelines. (Like Back to the Future) So Paramount defined Shatner's Kirk as the Prime universe, and New Kirk as the Alternate universe.

Enterprise, being a prequel, stays the same whether in the Prime universe or Alternate universe.

//I prefer Kirk Classic.

Got it pretty close. And, this was like 7 years ago. Just sayin'

[FuzzyLogik]

lmao!

and thanks - that works

Forgot that Enterprise was a prequel. Show worth watching?

[DennyCrane]

If nothing else is on... It had its moments. Ehhh

What he said. It's on Prime, could give a few episodes a shot. My biggest problem with it was that the universe was already so fleshed out that you knew what was going to happen. Maybe not quite how, and they did a few interesting episodes on that. I enjoyed it overall, but I'm not going out of my way to rewatch it.

But put it this way. The final episode of Star Trek Enterprise took place in Star Trek The Next Generation's holodeck.

...with chubby, old Riker and Troi.

oh wow, so they at least really connected the two shows? I may just check it out if i run out of stuff to watch as suggested lol

Fuller says the show is set in the "Prime" Trek timeline—not the "Kelvin" timeline established by JJ Abrams' rebooted film franchise in 2009—and will deal with an event referenced but not fully explored in past Trek fiction. The show will be set a decade before the USS Enterprise's five-year mission documented by the original series

New Trek series committed to casting diversity, main character won


It was pointed out in their comments that The Cage was set 11 years before ToS. So this series could reference those events. Or wasn't there a Romulan War sometime then?
