Enterprise is a criminally underrated series (minus the odd episode... *cough* These Are The Voyages) and the NX-01 is the perfect design for showing humanity's first steps into deep space.

It also shows how the Vulcans did not trust the Humans with their best technologies because of their illogical hostilities with their Andoran neighbors and borderline explosive relationship with the Tellarites. I actually find it kinda' stupid that the Andorans and Tellarites did not form an alliance before the Humans discovered warp speed. The communication speed and time needed were already there. By that time, humans only needed to agree to start contact with them... but the Trekverse needed humans to become the dominant force in the Federation despite having 4 founding species members with Humans being the newest warp-capable species.

It relied too heavily on time travel, tried to sell too much sexuality. They also downgraded the tech they should have already had, like rubbing that stuff on them after every mission. They did a good job at making a scifi show with a star trek skin. I guess making a prequel will always have its problems, one reason they should stop making them, they all suck imo

Like a modernised version of the 60's aesthetic. EDIT: For clarity, the interior of Discovery is visually great as is most of the show, just doesn't fit with the era its meant to take place in the way they managed with Enterprise. Discovery's Constitution class was a good middle ground if they HAD to put the show where they did in the timeline.

The actual ship design of Discovery was based on a model for Star Trek Phase 2 from the 70s, but, yeah, the spore drive was a little much. As for season 3, I think the show has had a consistent issue with the first few episodes of each season being great and then they kinda lose the pace and do a lot of nothing for half the season. On average, I think season 3 may be better than 2, but they both had great starts and then just go on stretching a secondary plot line for half the season and get nowhere with the main story until the last episode (happened with the search for Spock in season 2 and more unnecessary mirror universe stuff in season 3)

I do like the show's version of the NX-01. Doug says it's like the 'ironclads' of the Civil war and I always felt it was more like the first submarines of the 40's vs the new modern subs. The hallways had their support struts visible, where the original Enterprise 1701 looked sleeker, more civilized on the inside, with fewer structural interruptions in the walls and such. The NX didn't have space for all the nice touches, conveniences or aesthetics. And the design did look rushed, as if the engineers hurried that 'First Warp 5 capable' engine and stuffed it into a hull as quickly as they could. Hell, they were still experimenting with transporter technology. They didn't have shields or tractor beams... That would have to be a scarier version of Trek because that ship felt so vulnerable compared to the Constellation class.

“Enterprise” is still my favorite series… and it breaks my heart when I hear the “reasons” why it was cancelled. I grew up with TNG, DS9, and VGR, but ENT still took the cake. I saw the potential, and I loved the TOS vibes they put into it. I wanted to see T’pol be shown as being half Romulan, I wanted to see the Earth-Romulan wars… stuff I read about, happening. Instead, they cancelled it. I just don’t get why people disliked it, and though I agree on some negative points: I feel they were overly critical. Shran as an officer on the NX? That would’ve rocked, a first Andorian main character! But nope… cancelled because of blindness…

The whole of engineering being modular makes a lot of sense. In the Ent era, warp cores weren't really standardized yet (let alone experimental new warp 5+ cores). So you couldn't just pop out a core and slide a new one in. The entirety of the engineering surrounding it would need to be refitted as well. And without a plethora of massive shipyards, it would be a pain to have to build a new ship around them.

I always assumed the song "Faith of the Heart" was written for Enterprise, until that is, rewatching the Robin Williams movie Patch Adams recently! How shocked I was! (And for the record I like it , and the ship design, crew/actors/characters and the series as a whole... all of which are miles ahead of Discovery in all categories) And as an aside, Adam, did you just say USS Thunderchild? Didn't know there was a ship of this name! Ulla!

It's funny they mentioned the pole. I remember Valeris sliding down one in the Enterprise-A torpedo bay in the Director's Cut of "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country". Also, I seem to recall they made that pod at the back of the NX-01 into an aft Photon Torpedo launcher after the ship got it's refit at the end of Season 2.

Excellent. Btw, you may eventually run into the stories that 1. The actual drawings in early 60s for nuke power ships did have two cells extended from a central body.

The fire pole to engineering was a total surprise to me. The fact that the ships use a modular design isn't something that's really 'future tech' but something that's been used to build war ships (the Liberty ships in WWII) and is used today in building most ships - including submarines. Cool trivia to know about the origins of the NX-01.

7:16-I strongly disagree with the notion that forward-thinking engineering would remove the drama from the show-that just means that the writers need to work harder, and be more inventive! And I’ve read science fiction-Arthur C. Clarke and Andy Weir come to mind here-where often the that kind of inventiveness can be compelling in and of itself, and can further complicate a story’s overall plot-sorry, but in this case, I think it’s a case of writing to an audience accustomed to easy tropes!

Im glad there are others that appreciate the show now because there sure werent many of us when it was on.

I spit something out when he said no one would notice using the model. :-) It was in 1 of 2 of the only huge space battles in trek, maybe 3. By now I would have noticed. Thanks for self owning though. Because I didn't know you were an nx-01 hater. Shame.. I always thought the nx was the closest to the real design by Bussard. Where the nacelles are not warp drives. They would be collectors of mostly hydrogen in space. And the nacelle is a factory that processes this material into fusion material. This both powers the impulse drive by fusion, but also provides the reactant plasma used in impulse drives. There's no way no know if this is an efficient design. But it's fun to know we have all the technology to build a ship like this today. Maybe not visually the same but in a smaller scale one that works in exactly the same way. I dig my fantasy. But it's got to have some sci in the fi. So NX represent...ya H8R. :-)
