[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by HerbShrump: [qb] Cardassians and Ferengi both cross paths (well, Cardiassians indirectly) with the NX-01 yet we never encounter them until TNG. The impression given then is that "The Last Outpost" was first contact with the Ferengi and first contact with Cardassians happened after Kirk's era. [/qb][/QUOTE]Ugh. Though (they thought) they hadn't met the Ferengi up close and personal prior to "The Last Outpost," they had heard plenty about them from third-hand accounts and the like. This is actually stated [i]in the episode[/i], aside from being evident from that Ferengi comment in "Encounter at Farpoint." Plus, Picard had a battle with them years earlier without knowing it. Why do people continue to complain about this? How would Archer and company have any way of knowing that it was the Ferengi they encountered, anyway? And, as others have said, there is evidence of the Cardassians being in contact with the Federation (or at least races that will eventually make up the Federation) fairly early on. Tobin was only Dax's second host, and he met the Cardassian poet Iloja of Prim on Vulcan well before the mid-23rd century, when the third host, Emony, met Leonard McCoy on Earth. I don't know what you based your statement that the implied first contact occurred later on, but we've been saying for years that the Cardassians are one of the 24th century races that *could* and *should* appear on ENT. -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
