If Abrams needs a full year for post-production on Star Wars, according to a post made by Bob Orci on Trekmovie. Why should it be any different for Star Trek XIII?

Because it has been before and will be again. Are you under the misimpression that there's a formula to this that you can apply without specfic knowledge of the production?
+1 on both.
Who is Rob Bolivar? I've typed the name into Memory Alpha and nothing shows up. A Google search takes us to an IMDB page for Robert J Bolivar, who has two credits, one for developing the story for the DS9 episode Body Parts, but nothing listed for Enterprise. Indeed, a look over Wikipedia's list of Enterprise episodes with writers included has no mention of a Rob Bolivar.
Care to enlighten us on who exactly this Rob Bolivar is that you mention and why his word there's a new Trek series is one we should trust?
Seems like an oddly inexperienced person to hang their hopes on. Only two credits and none since 2006.
You do not, in fact, know what they "need;" you don't actually know what they have, either.
So why do people hold out hope on the ENT Season 5 front and these other Unsubstantiated Ideas?
Because they don't know how to let go?
It all comes down to one question for me: would I invest millions of dollars to bring Enterprise back? I thought the show was moderately entertaining from time to time but it was a complete failure finishing with less than two million viewers a week when it was cancelled and hasn't made a peep in syndication. So my answer would be 'no'.
I kind of understand that I liked ENT Season 4, loved where It could have gone...but didn't
The people at that Facebook page have been told by CBS that a full 5th season is probably not ever going to happen. (How could it in all reality?)
Though they have also been told that 4 other options have been talked about by CBS to wrap up the Enterprise storyline.
However, they did not reveal what those 4 options might be. Apparently CBS can't talk about reviving Star Trek on TV in the prime universe until January 2015.
So could be anything. From a TV movie with Enterprise crew that leads into new TV series about Romulan War with new crew to a shortened 5th season or to nothing at all.
The only thing helping: Scott Bakula is signed on to a CBS series at the moment... NCIS New Orleans.

Enterprise just isn't popular enough to warrant even a TV movie, to say nothing of a fifth season, even a shortened one a decade after it was cancelled due to low ratings. And no one cares about the Romulan War outside of die-hard Trekkies, and they have a novel series devoted to it to keep them satisfied. And besides, a Romulan War movie was pitched by Berman for the eleventh movie, Star Trek The Beginning. It was rejected by everyone who has any kind of authority over the Trek franchise.
How does that help? Being the lead actor on a successful and popular show would actually create a problem in trying to work around Bakula's schedule. And besides, just because he's working with CBS on this show, doesn't require him to join them on a Star Trek series.
A novel series that was so poorly received that the original plan for a trilogy of nice, fat novels was truncated to a duology when the first book stiffed. So, the plot lines for the intended long second and third novels were cut down to a single, normal-length second book. And it clearly shows that lots was left out.
So, even Treklit fans were only marginally interested in a Romulan War arc.
That could have something to do with the author. I bought the first book and couldn't make it through it. Michael A. Martin probably shouldn't be writing novels. They are mostly terrible.
Yep, it should be obvious to *everyone* that shoving more of what got Star Trek cancelled down everyone's throats would be incredibly stupid.
And I say that as an Enterprise fan. Those twisting numbers to "prove" that Into Darkness was a failure would do well to turn their magical formulas on Star Trek Nemesis, Trek TV ratings post-TNG and even the recent TNG and ENT Bluray sales. If the world is so desperate for more "prime" universe Trek, why aren't DS9 and Voyager even being released in HD?
The reason some people are still pining for Enterprise isn't, IMHO, because it was that good of a show. It's just because it was chronologically last in the prime continuity shows and it seemed like it hadn't been off the air too long to be resurrected. It's just kind of a lazy and uncreative way to pine for the return of Prime continuity.
I keep sensing this attempt to paint all those who want the return of Prime as being tasteless fans who rubber-stamped anything Berman spit out, though, and it's just not that black and white.

I don't think so. But I also think those that want the Prime universe back don't realize whatever is next, regardless of timeline, is going to be closer in tone to the Abrams movies than anything produced by Berman.
The irony of pining for Enterprise being of course, that it conveniently exists in both continuities.
