I've wondered if ENTERPRISE is not so much "Star Trek for people
who don't like Star Trek," as "Star Trek for people who don't
know much Star Trek."  You have Enterprise with a Vulcan first
officer flying for something called Starfleet, which -- if you're
not going to say "Beam me up, Scotty," or "He's dead, Jim" -- are
about all John Q. Public needs for Star Trek, the rest can be
cobbled together from parts of Buck Rogers or Star****p Troopers.
