Sorry, but the old Enterprise, esp. the Connie-Refit, has been well loved in the franchise. When NCC-1701 was lost, that was a HUGE moment in the franchise. I was in total disbelief. I've followed the TOS reruns, watched TMP, loved TWOK, and was enjoying this follow up. But the loss of the Enterprise was shocking, and seeing her shattered, burning hull crashing through the atmosphere was sad.
The ship was the home of the TOS crew for years and years. It's carried them through alot. It's appearance was amazing with the movies. And its loss was felt in the franchise, and it can be seen on the characters' faces seeing her arcing through the atmosphere, destroyed.
Sorry, but the JJ-Prise, nor any other Star Trek vessel since has held that kind of feeling for Star Trek.
Kirk: "My God, Bones... What have I done?..."
And poor Scotty watching his Enterprise burn.
Same here. THE Enterprise was indeed a real character that I grew up with, as much as any spaceship could be, and I mourned for a good while. O.K. Great, now I''m sad about it all over again. Damnit.
IMO, that's because first season TNG was terrible.
Indeed, fan acceptance did seem to be related to an increase in quality. I didn't think early TNG was all that bad though. Well, not as bad as those uncomfortable looking tight uniforms.
