Why Not Just Go the "Next Generation" Route For New Trek Series?

I remember watching the premiere of Enterprise with some degree of anticipation and some degree of excitement. I really wasn't under any illusions that it was going to blow me out of my chair, but yeah I do agree with you.

My sig. other joked that she hoped that the show wasn't going to be worse than Voyager. I remember laughing & thinking that there was no way that could happen.
