To be fair, according to non-official sources, the Enterprise-A was apparently originally another starship and renamed. As was the Defiant-A, which was the Sao Paolo. But yes, based on the story of the Titan-A here and it’s role in saving Starfleet, it seems pretty dumb.
maybe for budget in anticipation of a new show? why spend all the money to create yet ANOTHER bridge (la sirena, stargazer, titan, discovery, now another future enterprise) when they can just reuse the titan set? the reviewer said it was pretty obvious that so much of it was set up to gun for a spinoff show
Considering the fact they just recycled the Stargazer bridge into the Titan, they could have easily done the same here.
Point taken - there's obviously historical precedent. In saying that, I guess one could argue it was to make their respective Captains or crew happy / express their gratitude given the circumstances that led to needing those new ships in the first place. (trying to be non-descript so as to not need the spoiler button)
Previous cases were brand new when that happened, IIRC
Renaming the ship is pretty eye-rolling. Also not keen on Jack getting to be an ensign just 'cuz he's the special new boy; with Wesley, there was always the expectation that he'd eventually head to the academy. If there's a diplomatic reason for Jack to be around - like, if he's the Borg Whisperer or something - then fine, let him be a civilian/special consultant on the ship. Possibly reviving Q doesn't bother me the way the Nepenthe thing did or vanishing most of the S1 cast - Matalas was involved in that season, so if he wants to scratch sand over it, fine. But, of course, context matters, and we'll see how it all actually shakes out in 36 hours or so.
Well, I think that review seems quite accurate with some of the other stuff I've been seeing here. There's no mention of whether the Enterprise-D gets trashed or not. Doesn't seem like it but not revealing that either.
Well, I have to say, re-naming the Titan the Enterprise is quite a head scratcher. I was thinking they'd unveil some neo-Galaxy-class deal. That might be something I could have trouble getting used to. I hope they refit the crap out of her before it goes into service as Enterprise. I don't blame the rest of you.

That spoiler
Renaming the Titan to Enterprise? That sounds like bad fan fiction.
so is Jack becoming an ensign. Lame.

Eeesh, I've thoroughly enjoyed the season thus far, but if that's all true, that's disappointing. They've given into just about every temptation I have to fight when I write fanfic.
One thing that does seem to irk me a bit is that the name Enterprise usually is given to one of the more prestigious ships in the fleet. The Titan-A doesn't strike me as that, it seems to be more of a workhorse ship IMHO. For those who don't know, the Titan is five years old, so it's not super-old. Although the top of the line ship doesn't always have to be the Enterprise, it can be some other ship.
I'd personally go with a "neo-Galaxy-class" Enterprise-G instead of the Titan-A being renamed that.
However, I'm not the show-runner. I don't call these shots.
I do have to say, I find it unlikely those spoilers are fake. That being said, I'm not sure they're totally accurate either, but I have a high degree of confidence that what is said is correct.

Do any of his posts age well? Has he ever been right about anything?This post didn't age well.
the Enterprise-F is 1061m long to the Titans 560m
