ENT was not an attempt to reboot the franchise.
Incorrect. The Temporal Cold War was a directive from on high (UPN wanted some kind of fallback to take the show back to the more familiar Trek era in case the prequel concept flopped with viewers). The Archer/T'Pol/Tucker triad was meant to evoke the Kirk/Spock/McCoy one of TOS. A homage is something entirely different from a reboot.Sure it was. They used the Temporal Cold War as an excuse to tell the stories they wanted to tell, much the same way Abrams used time travel to tell the story he wanted.ENT was not an attempt to reboot the franchise.
Archer was suppose to be Kirk, T'Pol as Spock and Tucker as McCoy.
Unfortunately, they just didn't have enough faith in the concept to follow through.
The concept of a prequel show was just fine but it's execution was somewaht lacking, many fans agree that S4 was one of it's strongest seasons coincedently many would say that's closest to the prequel idea.
It would have been interesting to see the show just start out guns blazing and then have a few episodes explaining there departure etc.
Awesome. Thanks! I've been trying to watch that for about a month, but the Yahoo video host Trekmovie.com used meant that it wasn't available to my geographic location.

A new sticky thread sounds good. How would you all like to play this? One thread for each season, the way the TNG forum is doing it? Start it around the time of release next month, or sooner?Shouldn't we have a thread pinned about the Blu ray out soon? Perhaps start a whole new one to mirror those about S1, S2, BoBW movie & S3 over in the TNG forum? Either that or just carry on using this.
