Should Ent not have been called Ent?

377 episodes of shows with Enterprise. That's not counting the episodes on other shows where Enterprise was either featured or mentioned. 10 films with a ship called Enterprise. So we have 52% of all Trek shows with Ent and 90% of all movies.

Talk about being over done.

Oh and are you saying that DS9 and Voy failed because their ships weren't called Ent? :guffaw:
They failed because less people watched them than watched TNG. Could be many reasons why. Though, the most sucessful version of Trek up to that point was about a ship named "Enterprise." The ship most people identify with Star Trek is called "Enterprise." The newest movie ( and a sucessful one at that) is about a ship nameed "Enterprise" Might be some life in the name after all. If its good ( whatever that means to the individual) is much more important than how may times the name has been used. No one other than the most jaded fan really cares about that.


To be honest I don't think we can suscribe the success of TNG to the name Enterprise. Other wise we would blame the failure of Nemesis. In fact TOS and ENT got cancelled the only trek show. Should we blame that on the name?

DS9 was a succesful show beating the disadvantages it suffered. Lesser so for Voyager. Which demonstrates that Star Trek doesn't end and begin with the name Enterprise.

the ratings for ds9 declined through out the run of the show despite the addition of worf.

in fact the percentage decline was greater then that for enterprise.


i had no issues about the name.

and since she wasnt federation i dont see a lot of canon issues either.
