I keep wondering where this story is going and when it actually takes place in the Trek storyline –

Kirk is there and Pike is there. But we know from the Menagerie that Kirk clearly says “I only met Pike once. When I took command of the Enterprise from him.” So what role would Pike play?

And Checkov didn’t join the crew until the second season. There also is the question of Dr Boyce, Number One, Yoeman Rand and a host of other characters that show up in the Trek series that will have to be accounted for.

As for the rumors on the web that Enterprise will look totally different, that would KILL this movie. Cold. Dead. Ya gotta leave the Big E just as she was in the TOS or this movie won’t even take off in the hearts of the truely TOS Trek faithful.

Otherwise, EVERY ship should have an NCC registry, which is clearly not the case.

Again, the letters themselves don’t necessarily have to represent the first letter in whatever they’re representing, or any letter for that matter. Just look at the three letter codes identifying airports, they’re all over the map.

No consistency in the series after forty + years. I for one am tired of putting up with the inconsistencies.

As I said above…
Star trek has been really lame at explaining these things consistently.
Trek needs to show more vision, scope, and yes, logic.

Here’s what Wiki says…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Starfleet_ship_classes

While you may be technically correct concerning the true origin, the above-average viewer understands that the NCC means…
– Wiki (halfway down the page)…
According to non-canon print sources, “NCC” is short for “Naval
Construction Contract”.[7]

KEEP IT SIMPLE. You know, if they would just creat a short montage that shows the developments of Earth form today to the 23rd century that would explain all we need to know. You may say, How can they show all that in thirty seconds? Look at the opening of ‘Enterprise’ or the ‘Mirror Mirror – Enterprise’ opening. The mirror mirror ep. did a good job at it. At least they tried.

No big war here. Unless you are interested in discussing B5 vs Trek.
I prefer Trek – but with a more logical explaination for EVERYTHING IN THE SHOW. B5 was GREAT AT SCOPE!!! It’s not that hard to do. In fact it will broaden the Trek universe GREATLY. That’s what little details do. Some want those details to appear on the ships hull. I would like to see it in the writing. And the writers strike sure looks like its gonna hurt.
Trust me. I have alot of friends who have seen all the episodes. Most say it now sucks because of not real depth to the universe after 40 + YEARS!!!.

Mr. Orci, Please prove them worng this time!

AD as an active duty craft doesn’t exist anywhere.

CC= an active duty ship? Would’nt that be AD?
I think that would look REAL bad.

I’ll stick with NCC = Naval Constuction Contract.
Makes more sense, and is more generaly accepted.
Plus it tends to explain the future gov/economy a bit.

I believe its been said that only the t.v. series and movies are ‘cannon”, correct? As a fan of the show, I would really like to know how we got from here to there (ST timeline.)

Star trek has been really lame at explaining these things consistently.

One other point. Time Travel sucks as a plot device.
Case in point. Could’nt Janeway have taken Voyager back to the Future (after meeting Ed Begely in the 90s) with a slingshot/time warp around the sun?

Trek needs to show more vision, scope, and yes, logic.
