[QUOTE]Originally posted by J: [QB] Enterprise sucks... but I don't think I prefer no trek to it. To be honest, I would prefer entertaining stories that fit into every preconception that we've every had about this period--- I feel that would go MUCH further than the current lines, especially if you cut the Suliban and Xindi in favor of a fully counted Romulan threat. Now on the continuity side, all you really have to deal with is BoT, and it's easy to work around and still have face to face encounters! HOW you ask?! Remans! I know, the bat faced idiots from Nemesis were a total let down in the movie because it was supposedly a Romulan movie when it wasn't... but Remans aren't Romulans and we can find out very quickly in the show that fact--- or it can be taken very slowly and we meet a Reman when we were all expecting a Romulan------ BUT noooooooooooo that's all shot to hell now with the Suliban and Xindi. I'm not saying that it won't happen, but sure seems to me that Earth is fighting three separate wars here within the near future: 1) Suliban; instigated by FutureGuy 2) Xindi; instigated by another FutureGuy 3) Romulan; instigated by ??? [we always assumed it was a colonial turf war] For a planet without a defense net, a planet without enough ships to patrol it's system and prevent an alien vessel from even threatening Earth, a planet with so few ships that it has to be convinced to send an expedition into Xindi space--- these are a lot of wars. In war you lose ships, with the fact that the Suliban are much better equipped and the Xindi & Romulans seem to be better equipped too, it is going to be a miracle if Earth makes it through this. It's even more of a miracle that this period in time wasn't mentioned in full detail like so many others... Earth obviously made it through, and our characters from the 23rd and 24th centuries loved to talk about situations like these. Which brings back the theory that all this temporal war mess has totally screwed up the timeline, which means Enterprise has no effect on the future--- No Account Trek! That's even more frustrating. Again, it just seems to me that if you simply wrote better you could do better even within a more limited plot frame--- who said the ship has to survive? who said the crew has to survive? And don't think that I'm saying everything has to play into the future--- simple & campy episodes are still welcome, in fact Enterprise has already had some of these that wouldn't have to be changed [I'd list them, but I haven't committed to memory the name and plot of each episode]. Cut the Klingons out of the pilot and make it an Andorian--- gives Archer another piece of ammo to use against the Vulcans when they try to stop him: "They're in a war with these people, we have to help this man or get dragged into it." "They're out for their own good, not ours." Of course, don't ask me about writing the Suliban out of this one--- ah, perhaps use the Orion Syndicate instead [was it ever established that the Syndicate was alien run or human run?]? Spend five more minutes thinking about it, it's not just hindesight, what Enterprise has given us is a whole lot of stuff that won't count for the future... and while at first it was, it's now losing it's entertainment value compared to better written shows. If more thought had been point into this, the show would be much much much better than it is, three years in. Oh well... I'm going to stop now, I'm rambling again. [/QB][/QUOTE]
