there be star trek canon lot of it . from canon we know the history of the future . advance in technology and event and place and first contact with new being and name and date and etc . enterprise pretty much disregard much of st canon . an unfortunate fact for long time serious fan . a one and i assume that the producer would at least take a look at the first few episode of tos and retro back from there but no . the phase pistol and like much of the technology and look much more modern than find in tos . an old style starfleet laser gun and a slow gold speckle transporter effect that what i expect to see . also and i do not expect to hear pure beep base sound effect similar to tng but far apart from tos sound effect . in the early view of tos ( the original pilot represent the cage ) and we see a starfleet with a more formal military aspect a bit of old earth navy . with enterprise and we see a shock disregard for rank . there be more military code in the cartoon star blazer than in enterprise . it be fine that captain archer be unsure about the need of the universe ( quite unlike kirk who never lack confidence in his application of human justice ) and but inside enterprise everyone seem like an equal . unprofessional and unsure and more distant from the feel of formal military service than find in any st series and that say a lot . the casual country music open theme song herald the journey of a family rather than the adventure of an important large military vessel . enterprise look to show u a mostly fun and warm fuzzy exploration of human relationship rather than take u on a historic and bold and gritty and high rick exploration of space . i would have select adrian paul to play the captain and an old human to be the doctor . still and i like the actor for the most part . linda park and an outstanding ballroom dancer from boston college and be sure to develop nicely . the character make up the crew seem to be thoughtfully create . enterprise begin it run strong than do the past three star trek series . let hope for a good future .
