After watching the Enterprise eps on my computer a few times my mind started to wonder about what I was hopping to be able to see in a future show some time.
I am hopping to see some non-human species kick the butt of the enterprise in a space battle, have the crew go against someone with a shield (and have those missles just bounce off) and things like that.
anybody else have things they would like to see?

I'm still secretly 'hopping' for a serious TOS cross-over episode. I just want to see some sixties guys laugh about how primitive the NX-01 is, *and* make it believable . Something like TNG did the U.S.S. Bozeman and the Ent-C, or DS9 with tribbles episode.

That's a neat idea ...
But not an easy one to pull off.. We'd have the freakin' Continuity Police ALL OVER IT!

Ummmm...the missles bounced off the alien shields in "Fight or Flight" and the Enterprise has pretty much taken a beating in every battle it's been in.
I would like to see the series tie in with TOS but it has to be done in a way that doesn't say "We couldn't think of anything better to do with this series so we're going to bring in some TOS characters because people will watch that."
What I want out of this series, and what I've always hoped it would do, is for it to lay a foundation for what is to come after it. I want background on some of the events we've already seen. I want to be rewarded for having watched all the other series. I think that's one of the things that will make this series work on it's own and as part of the whole.

And BTW, when I said TOS cross-over, I didn't actually mean using the same characters of TOS, so none of the famous TOS-era people. Nor would I want a Constitution class ship.. although they'd probably screw it all up majorly if they tried to design a 1701 contempory.

... MCI WorldCom roasting slowly in the molten pits of hell, actually.

I would like to see a Starfleet vessel that was actually built for combat, even if it can't go warp "4".

Heard you just fine the FIRST time, thank you.
Posted by TheF0rce (Member # 533) on :
Who were the Tellarites again?
Tellarians and Tellarites are not connected right?
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Tellarites == short furry pig-nosed guys from "Journey to Babel"
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
And, apparently, the Vulcans really don't like them 'cuz they smell ten times worse.
Ick.
Posted by The Red Admiral (Member # 602) on :
The Force, you mean 'Talarians', and they're quite different from Tellerites.
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
...who are also quite different from the Terrelians...
Posted by Balaam Xumucane (Member # 419) on :
'Tellerites, Telarians, Terrelians, Capt. Terrel'. What's with all these T and R and Ls? Oh, god. NOOOOOO!!!!
What do I wanna see? More decontamination gel! No, not really. Well, OK, maybe. I mean I wouldn't scream and yell or anything. As long as it's done tastefully. OK, well it doens't have to be completely tasteful. Just a little tastelessness. A pinch. A dollop... I'm doing that creepy-geek thing again aren't I?
Ok, no seriously? I'd like to see a bunch of spooky conspiracy stuff. I'd like to see more hand-to-hand combat. (Reed: 'I know Kung Fu.') I'd like to see Sato portrayed in a positive light. I'd like to find out Phlox has some wonderful and compelling deviation. I'd like to see Archer get worn down, lose it and just destroy some(every)one/thing in a fit of venemous rage that he can feel bad about later, but from which he derives total animal satisfaction at the moment. I'd like to see T'Pol's superior strength let her rescue one of the more macho characters, and maybe have to nurse (not like that, you sickos) said character back to health. And Most of all I'd like to see a lot of very tense and dramatic epic space battles with huge sparking chunks of ships getting sheared off and nuclear weapons getting beamed into the bad guys' engine rooms.

" nuclear weapons getting beamed into the bad guys' engine rooms "
I have yet to read anywhere that they are using Nukes in this time period. Are they?
Posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim (Member # 646) on :
Well, in TOS "Balance of Terror" Spock mentioned that the Romulan Wars were fought with 'primitive' atomic weapons. I would like to think that this will be remembered in ENT, and I theorize that it's even possible that the missile-like torpedos used on the show may even be some form of nuclear device.

Man, I don't get why an anti-matter explosion is better then nuke.
We know for a fact that temperature and radiation level at the center and near proximity of a "fusion" explosion is about the same as the center of a sun
We also know for a fact that most star ship can't even get close to the sun without being toasted.
Not to mention the EMP generated by the explosion.
So, why the hell do star ship use Anti-Matter instead of fusion weapons?
Posted by CaptainMike (Member # 709) on :
Maybe to avoid getting toasted by the EMP from your own missile
Maybe because antimatter leaves less 'dirty radiation' and instead concentrates the energy release into hot blast effects rather than irradiating the vicinity and debris for a while
Something to do with the way it pierces shields r, ahem 'polarized hulls' more efficiently..
They must be worth the while, im trying to figure out whats more dangerous to carry, antimatter or uranium? probably antimatter, so whatever it does better must be worth their while for going through the trouble of carrying it
Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
Maybe because a matter/antimatter reaction is the most energetic one in the universe? Maybe? Physics, you know? Just possibly?
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
I dunno? Is it? Is it really? Can I use more question marks then Sol? Is Kevin Kline in a new film? Why? What? Who? Eh?

What I would like to see can be summed up in one word: Tholians
And hear them as well. They have the coolest alien voices I've ever heard. One reviewer described it as "the sound of five angry sopranos singing through a filter"
Posted by Harry (Member # 265) on :
The Tholians are at least known to the Klingons in 2151, since the name "Tholia" was one of the words Sato couldn't recognize.
for a serious TOS cross-over episode. I just want to see some sixties guys laugh about how primitive the NX-01 is, *and* make it believable
