[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] Sol~ Because the background fits that era much better. The Federation exists, but is not quite to the point of cooperation and intermingling we see in TFS. Spock being the first Vulcan on an otherwise all-human Starfleet ship was one of the way-pavers that allowed for M'Ress and Arex to jump in, and so on from there. But at this point (224x), there's still a lot of clique-ism among members. Interwoven with that, the technology fits a closer pre-TOS period much better than the Romulan Wars era. The recent duotronics breakthrough, the miniaturization of phasers and transporters to the point that they can be mounted aboard ships, and warp 5+ ftl drives were all evidently recent things during Pike's command. And on a cosmetic level, I wouldn't have minded seeing versions of the pre-TOS uniforms, the blue-grey bridge, and such like with modern budgets and production values. Plus, Scott Bakula looks enough like a younger Gene Roddenberry that I can see him as April. No worries about Our Heroes being needed for stories. Kirk is about ten years old at this point. All in all, it would be more instinctively appropriate to that era for me to watch than what we have now. How many people in here have actually [i]read[/i] Final Frontier? Aside from the usual technical mess Diane Carey makes, she's a hell of a storyteller, and the characters and situation therein are much more compelling to me than the pilot episode of Enterprise. --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
