From Section 31:

Sounds interesting, but I'm kinda nervous about that whole "unseen enemy from another time" thing. It sounds like the year-old rumors of a 29th century baddie traveling back in time to prevent the birth of the Federation could be true...anyone remember "Time Traxx"?

It also rings of "the Phantom Menace," which is even worse.

So, for a century, they barely managed to best the speed of light, and suddenly they managed to jump to 125c?

One wonders if the most recent references speak of TOS warp speeds or Okuda warp speeds... At TOS speeds, warp 5 would indeed be 125c, while an Okudaic warp 5 means 214c. Still, if we take that "a hundred times faster than earlier ships" thing literally, it would mean the old ships couldn't even do warp 2, on either scale. So if Cochrane wanted to visit Vulcan personally, he'd better put aside a spare decade or two...

In any case, warp 5/125c (214c) is an improvement over the so far dreaded warp 4/64c (102c). A typical interstellar hop of ten lightyears shouldn't take two months (one month), but just one (2.5 weeks). Heck, at Okudaic speeds, the ship *could* go from star to star within the time allotted for a typical episode!

Um... has it occured to anyone that a particular ep might very well last a month? Or that perhaps it's designed to be an arc-based series, and that it'll take 'em half the season to get that Klingon home?

Me either..

Y'know, I'm kinda disappointed in this. Star Trek doesn't HAVE to be all about time travel, and yet "Enterprise" is already pulling a "Voyager" by having the evil, recurring character being from the future.

I don't mind the odd time travel story, but Voyager really got annoying with them. It's not what Trek's about, to me.

On the other hand, it is what Star Trek is about to a good deal of the general market. Consider the plots of the most profitable films.

a Matrix-style slow-motion fight scene in the aforementioned temporal chamber? Prostitues? Pimps? WTF is this shit? And the star ship will be capable of Warp 5. I'm assuming that is under the old warp scale, so that would mean that the ship actually has a max speed of Warp 4. Maybe less on the new warp scale we all know and love! However. If that is the case, then the trip to the Klingon homeworld is gonna take a good while. Unless the crew finds a shortcut somewhere, the first couple of seasons is gonna be about the journey to and from the Klingon homeworld!

I wonder if they're actually going to use the old scale again... It's going to be very confusing for a lot of TNG era fans.

Yeah. Do you sit there, watching TOS or the first six movies, and, whenever anything goes into warp, scream "I don't understand what speed they are going at! My brain doesn't work! Arrrrgghhhh! They've gone to warp 13! Why aren't they turning into fish?"

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

You know, I've never actually seen Threshold. For this I am truelly saddened.

No, wait, not saddened. Delighted. That's what I meant.
