I'm looking forward to this one. We have to stop looking at it as a step backward ... and look at it as a step forward from where we are now in 2001..
The reference to the Akira Class Ship is driving me nuts... I know it looks like it .. but heck,, why can't we look at it as the Akira class ship was inspired by the FIRST Enterprise... *Shrugs*
And who knows.. maybe Braga and Berman had their career changing inspiration for this ... I think they'll do fine.. cuz they don't have to COMPLETELY follow someone else's vision! The critics can't say.. That's not what Gene wanted!! Cuz for the most part .. what happened after the Initial First Contact has not QUITE been written. WE have vague dates.. so .. let them fill the blanks with their own version of history before the FEDERATION came into play.
This is their vision this time .. TOS was Gene's vision of Earth as a Eutopia at peace with the universe .. Well.. that Eutopia doesn't exist .. and this gives them a lot of creative freedom.
I'm looking forward to Sept. 26th!

I think all of us are waiting for Sept. 26, even myself. But unlike you Dax, I have more fear than hope about this new series. I just can't shake off the feeling that something will go wrong with either continuity or something else that would further make the Trek timeline and history corrupted. Still, I'm forcing myself to at least wait and see the show before I have any real opinion about how much damage there will be. And I still don't like how the ship looks... where's the secondary hull?

Michael_T: Apparently there is no secondary hull. Herman Zimmerman confirmed this in an interview.

you guys just dont get it. Most of trek's viewers arnt continuity obsessed. They know know what an Intepid Class starship is, they know what Voyager is. Its those sort of fans that really keep the Trek phenomona alive.
If continuity does get screwed over, Enterprise will still go on. and you will hate it.

I have to love the Akiraprise because you do? I don't fucking think so. You're the one who needs to stop bitching.
And its beside the point that I actually like the design (for the most part). I would have found radically different designs (both interior and exterior) much more convincing for something that is suppose to pre-date the TOS Movies by 130 years and TNG by 220.

Er, and which set do you think isn't different enough? The bridge? What were you looking for, two guys with abacuses (abacus? abaci?) sitting on deck chairs? So far we've got an engineering set that looks like nothing else on TV, a sickbay that resembles some sort of Soviet dream of medical efficiency, and some other rooms we've barely glimpsed.

I fall somewhere between 4 and 5 , depending on the latest news and pics I see. I guess I usually feel and would guess the future for the series is uncertain at best.
