When it comes to Star Trek’s history, it’s starships all the way down. When Ensign Brad Boimler travels back 122 years to the USS Enterprise of 2259, he uses his nerdy knowledge of old-school starship history to save the day. But it turns out Captain Pike is aware of what Boimler is talking about, and suddenly we’ve got a retroactive starship tradition that relies on those faith-of-the-heart adventures of the NX-01 ship from that other prequel series, Enterprise.
