"It's a different approach from the way Star Trek did it"
Is it? Heaving out known canon and using time traveling villians to change everything from the beginning. On the other hand, "Enterprise" was arguably the worst Trek series of the lot and it's early cancellation confirms this. [This all changed in the fifth season but it was all too little, too late.]
Bringing in the Daleks and Sarah Jane does emulate one of the latter-day Trek's more successful gambits: familiar faces and aliens to tempt the fans of the earlier series to watch the new ones. Beginning with Dr. McCoy's cameo on the TNG pilot, ending with the Andorians and other familiar original Trek aliens finally showing up by the end of Enterprise. And it worked, I started watching ENT again... just in time for cancellation. Shfu.
