[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] This is not my own personal view of things, nor is it something I think is a good idea, but consider: A war against the Romulans was fought, according to Kirk and crew, by "Earth and her allies" about a hundred years before "Balance of Terror." Since then, everyone has assumed that this both took place before the founding of the Federation, and was in some way the impetus for the same. However, is this notion, in the strictest sense, canon? Consider that, at the time "Balance of Terror" was written, no one had thought up the Federation yet. Other episodes have references to Earth doing this, or that, and no one assumes this to mean that these events did not involve the Federation. If "Balance of Terror" had appeared in the second season, would the line still read "Earth and her allies"? We've all been assuming that the Romulans were something that Enterprise would have to deal with, but, strictly speaking, are they? [/QB][/QUOTE]
