[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ryan McReynolds: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [qb]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.[/qb][/QUOTE]Indeed, the war was always assumed to involve the Federation in every published novel and manual I am aware of... until the [i]Chronology[/i]. What is strange is Okuda's inconsistent use of this "Earth only" idea. It's like he just plain wanted to set the war before the Federation, so he latched onto the Earth idea. In "A Taste of Armageddon," for instance, the [i]Valiant[/i] is said several times to be an Earth vessel, on an Earth mission... but Okuda didn't assume that the Federation must have been founded after 2218, or that the [i]Valiant[/i] was part of some special Earth fleet. Why would the Romulan War be any different? We've got fourteen more seasons of [i]Enterprise[/i] before the lack of a Romulan War violates canon. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
