Last night I had a thought [yes strange things happen every day].
No doubt this Enterprise crew is going to have some amazing adventures, but lets hope it's nothing too amazing as no one in the future [other trek shows]has ever mentioned any of their voyages!

I dunno. If you spent 500 hours listening to the conversations on a modern aircraft carrier and didn't hear about some dude called "Ferdinand Magellan" does that mean he didn't do anything remotely important?

I'm not saying we should have heard their life stories told in other trek shows, I'm just saying if they did anything truly remarkable someone, sometime, would have mentioned it. Like they have mentioned Kirk and co before. This is supposed to be the beginning of a great moment in history, I just would have thought someone would have mentioned it is all. [it's not like we dont really know why no one ever mentioned it before ] Just a point. Anyway, i'm not going to bag it anymore, it at least deserves a chance.

I think that's because, every time some big event is mentioned, it's about them. If some anomaly is encountered, it's either "The computer records say such-and-such about it..." or "Once, Captain Picard and the Enterprise encountered one of these...". We never hear "Once, Captain Foo and the USS Pleh encountered one of these...".

Exactly! And when they DO try to mention other ships' adventures, they cock it up! Like the Borg encounters involving Captain Amisov (of the Endeavour? Can't find it on my ship list), or the Excalibur. . .

I'll be looking forward to the various first contacts with other species, and I think it will be interesting to see the Federation and Starfleet develop in terms of technology etc.
Like the sig, TSN.

REMINDER: Enterprise will be set 50 years before the founding of the Federation and Starfleet. You won't see their development at all.

[Now that you mention it that is a pretty funny signature, never really took much notice before.]
As for Enterprise, I'm going to refrain from further bagging. Its just the more I think about it the more problems I think of, so I'm gonna stop thinking so much

Well, don't count on the Enterprise 'changing' with any new technology over the course of the series... we've all seen how Voyager looks EXACTLY as clean and pristene as the day she left space dock...

Hi, this is my first time (just registered and all)!
I just wanted to say that I agree with The_Tom, that just because it wasn't mentioned doesn't mean it wasn't important. I mean, the various crews have been a little preoccupied with their own adventures. Plus, when they talk to the computer, they're looking for information relevant to their situations. Maybe nothing that will be done in Enterprise was relevant. (Interesting use of verb tenses in that last sentence there.)
But that's just me, faithfully defending Star Trek, hehe. There are, of course, always hitches and flaws in TV shows, especially in ones as involved as ST. I like to think that we fans are obligated to find and complain about as many of them as we can, then defend them against non-fans. (Maybe it's just me...?)
