Trailer shows need for "connective tissue"
By sky

What this trailer does demonstrate is that some "connective tissue" would really help this stumbling franchise. Since DS9 ended, the shows VOY and ENT have not had much connection to the established Trek universe. And ENT is hanging out there on its own. The most intriguing thing about ENT is the glipses of the Federation's future.

BUt ENT fails in that it does not link to the characters that carried the franchise all these years. I'd best most fans would agree that it's the characters, not the sci-fi scenarios, that have captured our interest since 1966 -- the idea of people similar to us dealing with "strange new worlds" and all that.

Anyway, the principal "proof of concept" offered by this trailer is to engraft ENT into the TOS and ENT storylines. Can this be done without Kirk? Perhaps. But this trailer does show that Kirk is after all the focal point of Trek, and it wouldnt be the same without him.
