[QUOTE]Originally posted by Darkwing: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [qb] Romulan War: There are several potential problems with this. The fact that everyone knows what is going to happen is perhaps a minor one. Not showing a Romulan throughout the entire war is going to be much harder. And the Shadows aren't really a far comparison. One the one hand, a bunch of humanoid aliens with pointy ears, and the other...an ancient race from when the galaxy was formed. It could be good. And there's still plenty of time for them to do it, but it's not a sure thing, by any means. Founding of the Federation: Enterprise turns up somewhere. They say "join us!" Aliens say "no!" Enterprise says "please!" Aliens say "okay!" Repeat 150 times. Fun! Or, if you want to increase the fun, we could have 3 seasons of the Vulcans arguing with the Andorians about the wording of the 5th paragraph of the Federation consitution. Even more fun! Long distances: Er, isn't this pretty much what happens anyway, and what has happened with every Star Trek show? Some adventures happen on planets, some in space. The ones in space we assume happen while they are on their way to a planet (or nebula, or blue glowy thing). Or do you mean you want 4 episodes of "We'll be there in 4 weeks!", "We'll be there in 3 weeks!", "We'll be there in 2 weeks!", "We'll be there in a week!", "We're there. Oh, there's nothing here. Oh well, on to the next planet. We'll be there in 4 weeks!" [/qb][/QUOTE]well, since ENT is an altered timeline, we don't know things will turn out the same after all - we might get to see Romulan faces after all, and the war could be lost in this reality. They also need not wait to attempt to found the federation, but we also don't know for sure it'll succeed, we don't know it'll have to use the same name, or be organised the same way. It could be closer to a powerless UN in space, assuming it gets formed at all. And the bit about adventures between destinations? Yes, a good idea in small doses - and they've done it already. For several episodes, they were enroute to Risa, and had things happen along the way, until they finally got there. Just a few lines of dialog added, and it was a nice touch, IMO. I just wouldn't want to see it very often, because it'd get old. [/QB][/QUOTE]
