    From the original series to <em>Picard</em>, we’ve ranked every starship <em>Enterprise</em>

    Yeah. Enterprise got a bad rap on a lot of things. Some of it was deserved, but I still have a warm place in my heart for it, and I always thought that they did a great job with the NX-01. It is clearly an early design and like you said they worked hard to make sure it doesn't appear more...
