[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kosh: [QB] [QUOTE] Some issues I have just off the top of my head are the communications arrays and other bits of technology. TOS episodes like "The Armagedon Game" and "A Piece of the Action" explicitely state that starships of 100 years ago were limited to speed of light radio waves for communication and Balance of Terror explicity lists the primitive capabilities of the old Earth ships as being one reason that the Romulans were never seen but in Enterprise we have full FTL subspace radio with instant communication between Enterprise and its home base. This is a blatant contridiction. There are other things like them having "phase pistols" rather than lasers like they had in Pike's time that rub me the wrong way but can be glossed over due to TNG's comments about the phaser being an invention of the last 200 years. I did not like the Ferengi episode either in concept of execution. Here is a species that was distant and mysterious, with the Federation knowing little about them in 2364 and they suddenly appear within 50 light-years of Earth( distance quoted to Risa in Enterprise episode) in 2156 yet they are barely even known two hundred years later. If the Ferengi could reach this area they would have swarmed it and become part of the culture, not just sat on the sidelines. [/QUOTE]Comments from a friend on another board, but I think another poster put it best when she siad: [QUOTE] While there will always be nit-picking fans, if Enterprise told compelling stories filled with fascinating characters, there'd be a lot fewer people letting their minds wander to continuity glitches. It's easier to quantify one's displeasure by citing specific variances from what came before, but the main reason for fan discontent and plummeting ratings, imo, is that the show, as drama, just isn't very good. [/QUOTE]She nailed it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
