Depending on how much you trust actors, it seems as if the the new series will be set in 2151. http://www.trektoday.com/news/270601_02.shtml

I trust Mr. Bakula.

There are seven years in a Star Trek series, except for the first which had three. So, knowing this, we have this information-

2151 to 2158 Enterprise
2161 Creation of the Federation.

I think that comment just deserves a

Anyway, who's to say the show has to move on a one-year to a season ratio? I mean, that tends to get followed out of convenience, but there's no real need for the series to end in 2158.

On the other hand, there are even advantages to not having the series encompass the foundation of the Federation.

Plus, it could leave plenty of room for a big-budget feature film with the Enterprise crew, which actually details the founding of the Federation.

Now *that* would be cool. And a possible lead-in to a sequel series.

The movie might even work. Bakula is a big enough name, Trek still draws sufficient audiences, the concept of "Federation" would be known well enough even by casual fans and non-fans...

Anybody note how Bakula called Archer's ship "the first starship"? I hope the writers are not going to use that terminology, for obvious reasons!

year 1 - 2151
year 2 - 2152
...
year 7 - 2157

So it's 2151 to 2157. Sorry for being pedantic.

I am reading talk of a movie. Let's keep our expectations in check. A movie will be dependent on the financial success or failure of the series.

Well, one problem I see with the Enterprise being the first human starship is that it really limits the amount of Human/Earth ships we're going to get to see.

Except of course if they are going by TOS' vague concept of 'Starship'.

Remember Mr. Mudd in one of the first episodes? "I didn't know you were a star-ship!"

quote:
"Even if you don't know Star Trek and you haven't followed the other series this is basically the first one, so you don't need to come to it with lots of lore in terms of what Star Trek is or was."

This just means "Screw continuity", right?

I think we're still going to get double posts. We've always had them, no matter how much the software changes. . .
