[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ryan McReynolds: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Phelps: [qb]The question Bernd and others have addressed is not the continuity of details, but rather the larger continuity of production design and show concept. It's about Enterprise being more of a logical forward extension of "First Contact" than a backward extension of TOS. Right now, it's 90% "First Contact" and 10% TOS. [/qb][/QUOTE] The problem with this is that it is entirely subjective. [i]Enterprise[/i] fits with the original series just fine canonically; it only doesn't fit based on what people [i]want[/i] to have been one hundred years prior. That's why it is important to distinguish between "continuity violations" and "choices I don't like." [i]Enterprise[/i] has few, if any, of the former, but it is chock full of the latter. To use your [i]Star Wars[/i] analogy, I submit that [i]Enterprise[/i] and [i]The Phantom Menace[/i] are very analogous... they both present previously unseen chapters of their respective sagas. The events portrayed are wildly different from non-canonical depictions thereof. They both have special effects vastly superior to the original. They both introduce elements that True Fans--sarcasm implied--find to be distasteful (can we say "Jar-Jar Binks?"), as well as elements previously unheard of (midi-chlorians, anyone?). They are both allegedly aimed at a younger audience. The only difference is that [i]Enterprise[/i] is actually watchable. :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
