Geeking out on Star Trek stuff
Yes, there are also plans for the original Enterprise (NCC-1701) out there. However, given the original series paid very little attention to continuity, they were wild guesses. Indeed, the original series played very fast and loose with all details, such as which century they were in... Most of the time they were in the 23rd century, but in a few episodes they indicated a time that would place them in the 22nd century. Of course, modern Trek such as Voyager and Enterprise are arguably even playing looser with established facts that not much can be trusted anymore. For a simple example, how did 7 of 9's parents know about the Borg enough to seek them out when it's well established that Star Fleet had no clue about the Borg before Q sent the Enterprise-D to make first contact with them in Star Trek: The Next Generation? And also, how is it possible that Star Fleet had no idea who the Borg were when the Enterprise-B rescued Guinan and several of her people in the film Star Trek: Generations when in fact those people were fleeing the Borg and this takes place approximately 70 years prior to the Next Generation episode that first introduced the Borg to Star Fleet?? Bottom line, it's best to ignore Voyager and act like it never happened. I also prefer to think that Star Trek: Generations never happened though it's hard to explain why there's an Enterprise-E without the film Generations... argh!
Also, if you want to hear something truly awful that is Trek related, try out the last track on the Star Trek 3 soundtrack... it's a disco-esque remix of the main theme of the film. (extended dance remix in the parlance of 1984 music) Yes, it's very awful. James Horner just doesn't lend himself well to remixes. (witness the remixes of any Titanic stuff) Of course, there were dance remixes of material from Superman's soundtrack (the "Can You Read My Mind" garbage), and disco remixes of the Star Wars themes, but still, this is awful.
