      I think people still remember it for the early seasons' bad episodes and how erratic Archer was before his personality was properly defined.
      I do still hope in vain that they'll bring it back for one final season set 10 years after season 4, just to wrap things up properly. And a remaster wouldn't go amiss either - its starting to show its age with its fuzzy CGI. I'd actually LOVE if they somehow replaced the CGI with practical effects like TNG had - but that's asking too much, it would be so expensive.

She was very interested in Earth's cultures and humans, and before her assignment to Star Fleet she experienced and studied it: let herself experience emotions. Not in as good control as Spock, but better than Vulcan ambassadors who always showed vey much emotions. Usually anger and disdain.

      @@GabePuratekuta yes. I said that in my original comment. Georgiou is a Greek name anyway, so there would have to have been some internationality marriage going on in Georgiou's history anyway

    Picard retcons & contradicts so much TNG continuity that I have to consider it alternate universe; something trying to bridge the Kelvin Timeline with OldTrek, but can never truly belong, thus nothing established in Picard is canon to TNG.

    I wish they would do a season 5 of Enterprise. It can be set 15 years after season 4. But if they do... lets hope the current set of show runners are NOT involved!

    Bring back the cast and use de-aging tech and have the episodes like flashbacks to explain the aging

    You missed out the most exciting plan, in my opinion! The idea of bringing Guinan and Q into an episode, and exploring how the animosity between them began.

      Weren't Guinan's race assimilated by the Borg? I recall her saying something about it. Maybe Q instigated that the same way he did with the Enterprise in STNG.
