    Is there a reason why officers in ENT are typically never referred to by their last name like every other series?

      It’s supposed to be less militaristic. By the time of tos Starfleet is pretty well established as being a space navy. The idea was that in the beginning Starfleet would be more like a band of explorers who were all experts in their own fields and everything, including the command structure would be less formal.

      Because the captain knows nothing about how a military ship is supposed to run and he also thinks it’s a good idea to bring a dog on a ship that can spend days between places where a dog can do his business without some poor enlisted following him around with a mop and bucket.
