Why we've never heard of the NX-01 before...?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] I'm in the middle of watching "First Contact," and it occurs to me that we might be able to trace back the NX-01 to the interference that we saw in the movie... I hate to be an ENT apologist, but this just might make some weird sense -- In the "original" timeline, Cochrane developed his ships without any kind of interference. But thanks to the Borg's interference, the Enterprise-E showed up to give some help. Picard, Riker and company specifically called the ship the Enterprise... which could potentially inspire Dr. Cochrane to leave a request for the first Warp Five starship to be named "Enterprise." On top of that, Cochrane got a chance to look at the Enterprise-E through a telescope. Of course it was just a brief glimpse -- but it was long enough to make note of a saucer and nacelles... thus inspiring the basic and too-advanced configuration of the NX-01. See? We can blame it all on temporal interference! ;) And since it's clear that the previous series -- specifically TOS, TNG, and DS9 -- were "before" the interference, and so in the 24th century timeline there's no history of the NX-01. But for Voyager (specifically the Friendship One ship which carried Cochrane's message) was apparently influenced by the Starfleet interference... Of course, the intricacies of time travel are too much for our simplistic 21st-century minds to understand... [/QB][/QUOTE]
