As it turns out in the interview on the new Blu Ray, the suits nixed
the compeeling proposal for Enterprise. The show was originally not
not to be named Star Trek, because it was to be earthbound for the
first season. No alien races other than the Vulcans, it was going to
deal with many of the political topics dealt with retrospectively in
season 4, the problems humans had with going out into deep space and
telling other cultures- "Here we are, we're new at this, come kick our
asses'.
Enterprise was to launch at the end of season one amid terrorist
attacks, total anarchy on Earth, and all sorts of good dramatic
stuff, a total break with Roddenberry's stifling vision of humanity
united.
The Suits killed Star Trek on TV.
