[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] The problem is that it's now been made rather clear that the transporter predated the replicator. (Which makes sense, I think. If you assume that a transporter can work in "dumb" mode, that is, just moving an object from point A to point B without really having any idea of the composition of the object. This would explain why, in TOS, you could sneak aboard a starship by hiding in a box, which one would think would be obvious to anyone watching the transporter as it worked.) But I do agree with your theme, Balaam. If I've got one problem with Enterprise it's this: It has always seemed to me that, implicit in the "everything got better once the Vulcans came" story is the Vulcans pouring massive amounts of resources, energy, and time into rebuilding Earth. This I think could certainly lead to the resentment seen in the show. Vulcans forcing some changes while withholding others. "You're still trapped in the capitalism/communism matrix? *Vulcan mini-sigh* Primitives. Look, this is how you do it from now on." But we haven't heard of the Vulcans doing anything like that, and while humans bootstraping themselves into a potential interstellar power in 90 years is compelling, I'm not sure it's completely reasonable, nor as interesting as it could be.
