But I knew it was the same ship...so how can I have decided it was not the same class? I knew it was the enterprise..had I know ships had classes, well, I would have assumed it was that class....because I thought it was the same ship no?
I was already a bit familiar with things having changes in design and whatnot, my dad was a model maker of boats and planes, and I was on my second doctor, second Tardis Console...why would I assume this thing that looked like the enterprise was not the same enterprise? There was only one enterprise at this point after all.
You knew it was supposed to be that ship, but wrong.
