I wonder if they're going to stick to the Enterprise theme (i.e. having a ship named Enterprise), which has been the series' "Artoo and Threepio" since the get-go in the 60s. If so, they launched the NCC-1701B at the start of "Generations" (it's what Kirk was "killed" on when it was hit by the Nexus ribbon) and NCC-1701C was mentioned in an episode of TNG when it came back in time during a battle at a Klingon outpost. So would they use the B ship?

Personally, I'm not so sure the whole Star Trek universe has much left in it to tell. The brilliance of "a 'Wagon Train' to the stars" has sort of run its course. Yes, when TOS was on the air, it was cutting-edge to have a black woman in a job, and kissing a white guy, and to have minorities like an Asian and a Russian in the crew. But the newness of that aspect is long-gone, and the power-trio aspect of TOS (Kirk as brawn, McCoy as emotion, Spock as brain) has also never been recreated. "DS9" was decent. "Voyager" was kind of a dud. "Enterprise" more of the same. "TNG" had 7 strong seasons. "DS9" had 7 so-so seasons. "Voyager" had 7 weak-ass seasons. "Enterprise" had 4 weak-ass seasons. Can we see the diminishing returns here?
