Enterprise is...Trek: The Prequel. TTP is just that...a forerunner to Trek, but made afterwards. To compare the Ent to DS9 is like comparing the Original Star Wars trilogy with the Ewok shows :wink: Okay, maybe that's a bit harsh. It's like comparing Original Star Wars to the new one, which included Jar Jar Binks and that wierd aging thing were Natalie Portman stays the same as her boyfriend ages about 12 years.
Right on. You can't just dissmis other treks as being (not real trek) just because they're newer. Personally I think that TOS doesn't really fit with the newer instalments of the franchise. Same with enterprise.
Enterprise also shows that people can't do retro scifi anymore. Enterprise would have been cool as a Daledus class ship. That type is more raw, more old fasioned yet still more advanced then anything today. But instead they just made a cool new ship which was a poor choice. It doesn't look more advanced then voyager or DS9 or even TNG but its way more advanced looking then old school trek ships.
Same with the new Star Wars movies. Everything looks superior to the original star wars. The ships the weapons. Maby its suposed to show that the rise of the empire had a degrative effect on technology but I think its just lack of creativity on the part of the creators.
