Indy 8 Posted September 24, 2003 They're really gonna do it. As of tomorrow, Enterprise will be known as Star Trek: Enterprise. So I guess it's official. Here's the article: Star Trek: Enterprise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riaan 0 Posted September 24, 2003 Enterprise or Star Trek: Enterprise. It doesn't matter to me. It's still the same show, and still a part of the franchise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Essoq 0 Posted September 24, 2003 They're kind of nitpicking aren't they? Do we care? Really? We knew it was Star Trek. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Chimei Posted September 24, 2003 It was bound to happen and certainly a good thing for promotions, etc., etc... but in all honesty, I'm thrilled. I've loved the show from the moment I saw a Klingon running through a cornfield, two seasons ago. The show is fantastic and deserves the prestige that accompanies the words Star Trek. I say it's about time.... :blink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted September 24, 2003 (edited) Star Trek: Enterprise sounds very tacky. I don't care what the advertisers call the show as long as the official name of the series remains Enterprise.

ddillard 2 Posted September 24, 2003 It does not matter to me either way what they call it. But I can understand thier point in changing it. Besides alot of the fans have been calling for it since day one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sirius 0 Posted September 24, 2003 Should have been Star Trek:Enterprise from the beginning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Picard 12 Posted September 24, 2003 Finally! I am glad they changed the name. :blink: Mrs. Captain Picard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mj 7 Posted September 24, 2003 I have to agree with those who said that, no matter what the name, it's Star Trek. I also liked the series from day one, and have not quite understood all the fuss surrounding the series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A l t e r E g o 9 Posted September 24, 2003 Yes ENT is Star Trek but ENT didn't need the prefix attached and I preferred it the way it used to be, I'm not going to stop calling it ENT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sam The Smuggler 1 Posted September 25, 2003 Wow. I Didn't Know About The Name Change Until I Just Now Saw The Opening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
removed 0 Posted September 25, 2003 ya they did add in the star trek in the opening. i thought the way enterprise was written in across the screen on the planet looked a bit better, but honestly, who cares. lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted September 25, 2003 What, it was changed in the intro of tonight's episode? :blink: I watched the intro, but missed the part where "Enterprise" flashes up in the credits. I sincerely hope it's not changed. If it is changed, what about the soundtrack only having the name Enterprise on the cover? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted September 25, 2003 If it is changed, what about the soundtrack only having the name Enterprise on the cover? The soundtrack with the orignal title may have now gone up in value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 8 Posted September 25, 2003 I have the soundtrack, I HOPE it goes up in value! I haven't seen the new episode yet, since it runs here at midnight, but here's a screen cap from the above-referenced article. It also says this: The note did not state whether the show's credits would be changed to reflect the change in title. StarTrek.com still lists the show as just Enterprise. However, a screen capture from an advance tape of the show reflects the change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prometheus 0 Posted September 25, 2003 I think that it is part of the whole attempt to save the series. By appealing to the older established fan base and bringing the series closer into the Star Trek family. I dont mind the name change. I think it is a good move if it will help to bring a larger audience to the series. I note that Smallville's full production title is Smallville: Superman the early years. And that attracted me to the series on the level that I knew it just wasnt about the town but Superman as well. So, if you follow my point, Enterprise now has that awhole This is Trek element to it, that others may recognise and latch on to. At the end of the day, it's all about image and branding isnt it? In order to survive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 8 Posted September 25, 2003 I don't really care what they call it, I will watch anyway. I just feel that they should have picked a name and stuck with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 5 Posted September 25, 2003 This name change doesn't bother me in the least..It should have been called 'Star Trek: Enterprise' from the beginning IMO..It really doesn't matter though..It's the show on the screen that counts..And I thought last nights Episode was good..However, I will still refer to it as 'Enterprise'..When the other series were on and you were talking to someone about it what did you call the show?..Did you refer to it as "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine"?..I know I didn't..I called it "Deep Space Nine"..The same will be true of 'Star Trek: Enterprise' I think...IMO..

A l t e r E g o 9 Posted September 25, 2003 By appealing to the older established fan base and bringing the series closer into the Star Trek family. In my experience with them unhappy about ENT (SSTC) the title has nothing to do with it. Their complaints are for the writing; re-hashing stories of people transmutating are not what they expected from ENT. Casting; many hate Bakula. The excessive sexuality. Continuity; (the "Akiraprise"), the greatest fear with the continuity is that, to cause what we are seeing on ENT to line up with what we know about TOS, tptb are going to use time travel stories as an excuse to push the reset button resulting in "ENT never happened" or something like that. Adding Star Trek to the title does nothing to address these concerns. read what they say here SSTC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't understand why many hate Bakula as Archer, I think he's doing a great job! As for the excessive sexuality,well I'm still waiting to see it,I haven't seen that much on here,so far its about equal with DS9, Voyager, and TNG As for continuity,so far in my opinion the continuity is intact,there has been nothing much to cause it to be out of line with the other Star Trek shows. And Enterprise does not look like an Akira class vessel,the Akira class vessels look like the old NX-01 vessels. The 24th century starship designers thought the NX vessels were a good design so that decided to build new ships by upgrading an old design. :blink: I'm so easy!

A l t e r E g o 9 Posted September 25, 2003 Just to clarify my position, I disagree with all the items those unhappy with ENT raise. ENT has been, slowly but surely meeting all my expectations for the prequel. Often in surprizing and un-expected ways, I love it! As for Bakula, they think he is bringing too much of Sam Beckett to the role. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
