Wouldn’t Enterprise technically be an alternate reality than the normal Trek series? I mean, it’s pretty much confirmed that it takes place after the skewed events of First Contact. Either they pulled a Back to the Future and history was ‘re-written’, or the events of First Contact/Enterprise actually happened in yet another separate alt. timeline.
Also the aesthetic of the show was awful IMO. The sets were just…how do I put it…everything looked too fake and clean, and it was lit like a soap opera. The all metal/grey look can work, like in Voyager (which I loved the set design of) and especially the movie-era Ent refit; guess it fell victim to the bad side of over-designing. The really bad side.
