I think i'm one of the 5 or 6 people in the world [sic] that actually liked 'Enterprise' [yes even before they tacked 'star trek' onto the title screen].

 

 

I always thought that was funny how they left Star Trek out of the title, it was like they were trying to hide the fact that it was Star Trek because Star Trek had become uncool. Like they wanted to trick people who didn't like Star Trek into watching it. I can see non Star Trek fans flipping through channels, "Hey, a new sci-fi show, well as long as it isn't lame Star Trek, I'll give it a go... did I just see a Klingon??? That was a Klingon! They can't fool me, this IS Star Trek!" flips channel.

It was kind of funny, because most the time you want to use your popular brand name as a selling point, not hide it.

I took it to be a case of "we're trying something different here so don't get upset when it doesn't feel like your beloved TNG". But then that's probably just me.
