I had not heard about the new Star Trek movie you're talking about. That's cool! I like the concept, setting it for the time when Kirk and Spock met at Star Fleet Academy. I'm really looking forward to it!
I remember Pike being the first captain of the Enterprise in the pilot of the original series, but I thought they meant that version of the Enterprise. There have been lots of ships named Enterprise, so that's how I thought they reconciled that part in other series.
The Star Trek: Enterprise series starts off with the first warp drive ship made by Zefram Cochrane. It sort of segues from the movie First Contact, where the warp drive emits radiation that is detected by a nearby Vulcan ship. The Vulcans land on Alpha Cantauri, where the Cochrane ship was launched from. That is the beginning of a relationship between Vulcans and Humans, and the Enterprise series is based on that. It's a prequel to all the other series and is set a few decades after the Cochrane ship, after warp drive research has matured somewhat. A couple generations have passed, and one of Cochrane's student/colleages has improved warp drive and developed a starship based on it. This ship is later piloted by his son, Jonathan Archer, who becomes the captain of that new ship called Enterprise.
