I'm not sure if this is the right community or not, but I'm curious what y'all would think if they came out with a new show set in the Enterprise era. Ent is one of my favorite shows, and I always felt like we got screwed out of some really compelling TV when they ended they stopped making Trek after ENT ended. That era of humanity, the coalition of planets, the filling in of details on humanity's early relationship with the Vulcans. Plus, it has denobulans, and we need more denobulans.

So, I guess I'm just curious if I'm in the minority or not. Would any of y'all be excited if they announced a show in that era?

I’ve heard people float the idea of a west wing style political drama where the president (often suggested as Archer) is dealing with all the problems of maintaining a young federation.

I’d think it would be a wonderful idea. I’m not sure another exploration show in that era is needed though.

That sounds really interesting! Scott Bakula is at a great age for playing an elder statesman, too.

I think that was the original idea of Enterprise.

Well they screwed that pooch by episode 2 or so then.

They changed it before production.
