Remember? The "Starfleet" logo we see in the 24th century was originally the NCC-1701 logo, in other words the Enterprise logo. I belive we will see this logo in Enterprise.

You shouldn't even expect any semblance of continuity with the Trek universe as we know it. This is Braga we're talking about here. They've already officially announced that they will violate established continuity not once, but twice, in one fell swoop. The early Klingons will be knobby heads. This not only invalidates TOS, but also Worf's "We don't talk about it with outsiders."

How does that invalidate Worf's "we don't talk about it with outsiders?" Please, explain.
BTW: it DOESN'T violate seeing Koloth, Kor, and Kang with bumpy heads in DS9, yet smoothies in TOS. Does it now?

Actually, even the Trials and Tribble-ations episode scene introduced problems. How can Bashir and O'Brien not know that Klingons were once smooth-headed? This is not some alternate reality, since Worf's comment confirmed they were once smooth. Bashir in particular should have studied about Klingons sometime in medical school and would have read about some strange change that befell the race in the 23rd century.
How this invalidates Worf's comment is that Berman & Braga have now said Klingons have always been knobbies, consistent with what GR said. If so, then that whole scene in T & T doesn't make sense anymore.
Unless the Klingons from TOS were all surgically altered to be smoothies, including Kang, Kor, Koloth and all of their personnel. Then later they were returned to their original appearance. Why? Who knows? B & B couldn't care less and they've said so. See Bernd's editorial at Ex Astras Scientia. Enterprise is off to a bad start and it hasn't even aired yet.

If they've always been 'nobbies' then what about the Romulans.
And if they've always been 'nobbies' a way to explain Worf's comment and the smooth heads might be - the Klingon Empire went through a 'fasion craze'... probably by some Ferengi... where everone was filing down their 'ridges'... I'm sure not everyone will be wanting to reveal that Earth had a thin leather tie craze in the 1980's!!
Another explanation... still a 'plaugue'/'virus' but that it's the opposite effect - for a few years nearly all the klingons's ridges began to reduce - maybe a problem with their ships!?!
Maybe an Emperor at the time had been smooth headed - and in 'respect' Klingons everywhere began filing down their ridges.

Somehow I'm getting the terrible feeling that I'm beginning to lose interest in Star Trek - at least the current installments. I liked TOS, loved (and still do) TNG, hated DS9 in the beginning but took a liking to it in the end. Voyager has a few (very few) good and even less great episodes. Overall rather poor quality. And since they have confirmed that Enterprise will be a prequel I'm not sure if I'm very curious to see it.
MIB, I'm with you. I'm dreaming my little dream about Enterprise (STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE) being set in the future. Sob.
I think they are killing Star Trek with this show - and they know it - why else would they have left "Star Trek" out of the title?

A couple of months ago, the TV Guide had an article that said that the producers were "milking the show". They even suggested that Paramount should stop at Voyager and wait a few years wehn popularity gets highter then introduce a new series.
------------------ The whole concept of Survivor is get your average Joe and put him/her on the show and see how they react. Afterwards even though they did not win they make money by appearing on shows. There is no point in having to win a million dollars! They will make that amount in 2 months after appearing on 100 different shows!

"Overanalizing?" Ew.
Sounds painful. And unsanitary.

I�m hoping we�ll see it soon. Didn�t someone say we�ll see some footage from "Enterprise" with the Voyager finale "Endgame"?
