[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] Just my $0.02... $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ So this episode supposedly opens with the scene from ST:FC When the Vulcan ship lands in Montana after detecting Cochrane's warp flight. Now, I'm guessing that this particular event, in this particular universe, happened WITHOUT the time meddling from the Borg, and subsequently the Enterprise-E crew. The humans, apparently not entirely trusting of these new aliens (and rightly so, since they're still suffering from the aftereffects of WWIII), and not having Riker around to tell Cochrane who they are, viciously attack the Vulcans, killing them and absconding with their ship and technology. So here are some ruminations I have: 1. This timeline and these events are actually how the timeline was SUPPOSED to happen. Ergo, the mirror universe is actually the "real" universe, and the universe of regular Star Trek is the "alternate" one thanks to the time meddling (Never mind the fact that the "alternate" timeline worked out better for everyone involved). 2. If in this early date, the humans have acquired Vulcan technology, then I'm not sure why the NX-01 would exist. It was a project created to test a new warp-five engine, since the Vulcans had denied the humans their tech. But in the "mirror" universe, the humans already have the Vulcan's tech. Presumably they can build ships that travel as fast as the Vulcans' do. So why need an NX Project? And subsequently, why need the NX-01?There's no reason why it should exist. I'm wondering if these questions will actually be addressed in the episode. Whay do you all think? [/QB][/QUOTE]
