Hypothetically, If Enterprise ever came back, what form should it return in, if at all?

Age might not be an issue. Its sci-fi. Either do a story similar to TOS episode “The Deadly Years”, where the only different is that the aging for the main cast, while not as radical, is permanent. Or have Future Guy/Daniels take them on a long-term time travel mission and then drop them back off in 2155. The latter is probably more likely as a story, as its the most Enterprise thing ever.

I like these ideas. A way to use whatever original cast cares to come back, and quickly forget about their current ages, and thence commenting on their creakiness as they continue to win the Romulan War. Best of both worlds!

Where's the option for "character cameo in a current series"? Cos that's pretty much all I see happening.

That pretty much limits it to flashbacks or aged versions of T'Pol or Phlox.

The bigger issue to me is the sets. I’m not aware of any fans rebuilding the ENT bridge sets like with TOS & TNG. I have seen ENT-era fan films depicting close emulations of the bridge and sickbay for different NX-class ships, but not a full-on replica. Plus, it was normal for those working on ENT to bump their heads when in the captain’s ready room, to the point they needed to wear a hardhat on set. I’m not sure anyone working on the show would want to go back to that.

I know the man who bought -fast entirely bridge and Shuttlepod 2 and I am pretty sure he will let them hire glady, if the someone ask for a real project.

I dunno, these people fall into time warps every few weeks, they can show up anywhere.

Personally I'd just have Lorien as a crewmember on Pike's Enterprise. Just his presence says everything we need to know.

I’d just pick it up 20 years later. Pretend the series finale never happened.

You could pull a “Bobby Ewing” from Dallas with Trip.

Time travel and time warps are great plot facilitators. I'd gladly take the headache, to welcome back our ENT crew.

Any appearance by Lorian would be cool. It was a shame that the E2 dangling plot thread wasn't resolved.

Ha! Love this too.
