oh and the Excelsior turned up in the DS9 war battles btw (along with other old ships) so it's obviously a successful old ship that gets a lot of use 
I didn't know that.
I like Enterprise ok, its not the best. I like the three in the 24th century the best. There are a lot of inconsitencies...
for example, the Klingons in Star Trek looked different than in The Next Generation, and in an episode of DS9 they explained that it was a genetic war that caused the ridges on their heads. But now in Enterprise, they have them, and this is before TOS.
Also, in TOS with Kirk, they were going at speeds of Warp 10 and higher, in an episode of TNG, they explained that with a better understanding of warp technology, they had refined the definition of warp to where 9.9 was the highest possible. In Enterprise, they are using the 24th century definitions where 9 is still considered the highest.
I kinda think that it may have been a bad idea to go back into the past, but never-the-less its still a good show.
I think the ship looks cool, it was designed as a combination of the Enterprise (from TOS) and an upside down akira class. You can really see the qualities, the warp nacells are clearly from the Enterprise, the saucer is from the Akira and the bridge-like area between the nacells is an upside down form of the Akira. I guess its called an Enterprise Class starship since it is the NX prototype. Captain Archer said they were building three more at Utopia Planetia, I hope they get them finished sometime later in the series.
