The war was said to be between Earth and Romulus, but there are countless references in the original series to "Earth ships" and "Earth ambassadors" and such that fall under Federation jurisdiction, notably in "A Taste of Armageddon." Not to mention the obvious fact that the Romulans can have a war with Earth even if Earth is a member of the Federation, particularly if the Federation is a more lossely organized alliance in the 2160s.<p>My point is simply that if the producers of <i>Enterprise</i> choose not to ever mention the Romulans at all, they're not committing any significant violation of canon. If the Earth-Romulus factor is taken literally, and the fact that the war was 100 years before the original series is taken literally, then technically it is <i>The Next Generation</i> that violated well-established canon by having the Federation founded 5 years too early. <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>CaptainMike</b> <br /><small>Member # 709</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,9,14,20,22,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">October 14, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">08:22 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Actually it would be Okuda's fault.

Had he followed his own basic assumptions, the War would have been circa 2166, and when the writers of "The Outcast" asked him when the Federation was founded, he would ahve said "2171!" What I wonder is why he tacked on an extra ten years in the first place?<p>Actually, I have a theory. I think that, initially, Okuda planned on using the long-accepted early 2260s placement for the five-year mission. At the time "The Outcast" was written, his early draft of the <i>Chronology</i> had the Federation founded about one hundred years before the beginning of the mission, and the Romulan War a few years before that. 2161 got in the script, so when Okuda decided to use the previously unheard of "three-hundred years after the airdate" system, it was too late. The Romulan War was still in the ballpark, though, so it stayed put.<p>There are other hints that this might be the case; for instance, even the revised <i>Chronology</i> has the Battle of Donatu V in 2242 while saying it was 23 years before "The Trouble With Tribbles" in 2267... suggesting that the second season initially fell in 2265 and was later shifted upward. It's interesting that the five-year mission seems to get later and later as time goes on... the <i>Spaceflight Chronology</i> and FASA had it ending in 2210, traditional tech fandom had it ending in 2265, the above conjectural early <i>Chronology</i> had it ending in perhaps 2267, the final <i>Chronology</i> had it ending in 2269, and finally the canon "Q2" (VGR) has it ending in 2270. The latter demonstrates the non-canon status of the <i>Chronology</i> for any doubters... and also lets those of us who like the animated series fit it in there. <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> <p>But now we're way off-topic for <i>Enterprise</i>, so back to the Romulan War talk! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Ryan McReynolds</b> <br /><small>Member # 28</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,9,15,8,48,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">October 15, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">08:48 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <blockquote><font size="1" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Michael_T:<br /><strong>Thanks...now I have a very good theory who is in the chamber and the possible storyline of the Temporal Cold War arc...</strong><hr></blockquote><p>Ironic, since the <i>producers</i> don't have any idea yet! <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>CaptainMike</b> <br /><small>Member # 709</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,9,15,9,8,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">October 15, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">09:08 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I HATE the way Okuda spaced out the five year mission... <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Phelps</b> <br /><small>Member # 713</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,9,15,11,29,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">October 15, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">11:29 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> A couple of things...the airdate+300 system wasn't unheard of at the time -- we'd seen it in "Sarek", where the writers gave Sarek an age of 202, setting "Journey to Babel" in 2266 or so.<p>I just rewatched "Balance of Terror" (teriffic episode, BTW).
