Star Trek: Enterprise's premise was flawed says showrunner Manny Coto, who identifies a core issue in The Center Seat: 55 Years of Star Trek.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A fundamental problem with the concept of Star Trek: Enterprise was identified by the show's late showrunner, Manny Coto. Enterprise premiered on UPN in 2001 as the fourth Star Trek series produced by Rick Berman.
In the oral history "The Center Seat: 55 Years of Star Trek" by Peter Holmstrom, Manny Coto explains that the premise of Star Trek: Enterprise was flawed from the beginning. The NX-01 Enterprise was Starfleet's first Warp 5 ship capable of deep space exploration, but it soon became clear that the human race was already in space long before Enterprise launched.
If you're going to do that show, then it has to be the only human ship out there. Alone! You know? So when the series is starting, you're watching, nd suddenly Anthony Montgomery is talking about being a boomer and being on a ship that is transporting cargo. What, wait a minute, we're already out there? So, what's the Enterprise? It's just kind of going further out? It was vague and it lessened the whole drama of it.
, they should have been the first and the only and all on their own. The drama would have been heightened tremendously because we just have no one to depend on. By the way, I would have included the Vulcans with that as well. I think the Vulcans as backup really kind of undercut the whole thing.
However, multiple factors "watered down" Braga's more ambitious plans for Enterprise. Braga and Berman had to answer to UPN, plus Berman also didn't want to stray too far from the Star Trek formula that had proven successful since Star Trek: The Next Generation in 1987. Enterprise became a more recognizable - and predictable - Star Trek series that, unfortunately, bled viewers.
