Did the franchise reboot begin with ENTERPRISE?

I do love how the people completely ignore what the writer's intention was and try to reconcile it with the original Trek in a different way. I also do that, but it's funny nonetheless.

^Wow, are pigs flying? Because I'm actually in agreement with something you said!

I don't see how. The EW obviously never happened. To insist it did just to satisfy a single line of dialog in the 60s seems pretty silly.

What about to justify the premise of an entire episode that formed the basis for the second movie and helped shape the direction of the next two movies? Are the Eugenic Wars important enough to include then?

It's a good storyline. Good enough that later Treks used it, but changed the date of the war because the 90s came and went with no Eugenics War.

I think that I'm in favor of leaving the Eugenics Wars in its' original 1992-1996 timeframe. The Trek timeline is not our own... nor should it be tampered with to fit. If they ever want to do something that radical then they need to do a hard reboot of the franchise.

Another nod to the Eugenics Wars was in the Voyager two-parter "Future's End", a model of a DY-500 sat on the desk of Rain Robinson.

No worries, that happens eventually to everyone.
