Well, it's not the best answer (if they mean the ST:E (2001-2005) TV
series, and not "Star Trek: Enterprise" generally).
 
But it feels like they lack imagination if they mean the latter - there
are a lot of ships from the era of ST:TOS, several of which ended up
getting toasted, which would probably be worth basing a TV series, or
limited series, around. Not every show needs to be set on the Enterprise!
 
Also, I thought the general perception was that "Star Trek: Strange New
Worlds" wasn't bad...

 
I only saw a couple eps and liked it.

It augured in pretty fast. I stopped watching when they made Nurse Chapel
(who was completely out of continuity with real Trek) a psychotic drug
fueled assassin.
