[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vogon Poet: [QB] Given the Battle of Maxia, Picard's assertion that the Federation had never encountered the Ferengi was a bit weird, but not an all-out contradiction. What we then learned in DS9 - such as the spread of the Ferengi throughout the Alpha Quadrant territories - likewise put a strain on the "no contact with the Ferengi before TNG" thing, but again it didn't directly contradict it. Each time, you can explain it away. If, however, Archer & Co. meet one of our favourite loved aliens, who says "hi, I'm Merchant Bork of the Ferengi, can I sell you something?" then that's a direct violation of continuity. However, the fact remains that most people here won't see it that way, because after all it was only TNG. If DS9 had actually re-iterated the "no previous contact" statement, then you'd likely have a problem. It seems sad to me that my least-favourite Trek incarnation is becoming the yardstick against which all else is judged, but that's by the by. Note, however, I said "If." So far I like what I've seen of [i]Enterprise[/i], and have been able to suspend disbelief or distrust and just enjoy it for what it is. [/QB][/QUOTE]
