I'm not sure if this is the right community or not, but I'm curious what y'all would think if they came out with a new show set in the Enterprise era. Ent is one of my favorite shows, and I always felt like we got screwed out of some really compelling TV when they ended they stopped making Trek after ENT ended. That era of humanity, the coalition of planets, the filling in of details on humanity's early relationship with the Vulcans. Plus, it has denobulans, and we need more denobulans.

So, I guess I'm just curious if I'm in the minority or not. Would any of y'all be excited if they announced a show in that era?

I’m with you! The show wasn’t perfect but it was cool to see a crew explore before the prime directive , stable transporters and the federation. Tons of opportunities to explore that further.

Right? I mean, I want desperately for the events of the last episode to be retconned, but even without that, just another crew in that same era would be great. It's a time rife with opportunity.

Honestly, I'd even love a series set around the time of first contact. Zefram Cochrane, early Vulcan diplomats, humanity's first ever foray outside of our solar system... God that would be cool.

@DharmaCurious Agreed: Star Trek needs to expand beyond its “Skywalker Saga” and into other rich niches of the universe
