   It's a supposed prequel that in reality is just another reboot.   
      
   It's possible to be termed both, or in other examples it can be a   
   sequel and a reboot. They do it often. Simply saying it is set   
   earlier/later in the timeline doens't actually mean it fits with   
   existing content or does not make idiotic changes for the sake of it.   
   The up-coming new "Quantum Leap" is supposedly a sequel, but similarly   
   is in reality just a reboot. Another example was the "Knight Rider"   
   (using a crappy Mustang).

   There are many lists available all over the internet of the problems   
   with "Enterprise", starting with the opening song and the lack of "Star   
   Trek" in the title, and going on from there (including the soft-porn   
   "oil me up, Scotty" decontamination scenes). Hell, even Beavis &   
   Butthead making it reportedly said they were making it for non-Star   
   Trek fans, which includes making idiotic changes.
