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?

They had a lot of weird stuff in Enterprise. I would love if they did a show in that era that was actually about that era instead of time travel shenanigans. It would be fun to learn about how the alliances and rivalries built up, the successes and blunders and cultural clashes. From what I recall, season 4 was when they finally started looking at that stuff and by then it was too late.

Yeah. If Enterprise started with the Romulans as the villains, they could have easily kept the better episodes of the series and ramp up to the eventual Earth-Romulus War.

They wouldn't need any time travel at all except for the Borg.
