'Tellerites, Telarians, Terrelians, Capt. Terrel'. What's with all these T and R and Ls? Oh, god. NOOOOOO!!!!
What do I wanna see? More decontamination gel! No, not really. Well, OK, maybe. I mean I wouldn't scream and yell or anything. As long as it's done tastefully. OK, well it doens't have to be completely tasteful. Just a little tastelessness. A pinch. A dollop... I'm doing that creepy-geek thing again aren't I?
Ok, no seriously? I'd like to see a bunch of spooky conspiracy stuff. I'd like to see more hand-to-hand combat. (Reed: 'I know Kung Fu.') I'd like to see Sato portrayed in a positive light. I'd like to find out Phlox has some wonderful and compelling deviation. I'd like to see Archer get worn down, lose it and just destroy some(every)one/thing in a fit of venemous rage that he can feel bad about later, but from which he derives total animal satisfaction at the moment. I'd like to see T'Pol's superior strength let her rescue one of the more macho characters, and maybe have to nurse (not like that, you sickos) said character back to health. And Most of all I'd like to see a lot of very tense and dramatic epic space battles with huge sparking chunks of ships getting sheared off and nuclear weapons getting beamed into the bad guys' engine rooms.

Well, in TOS "Balance of Terror" Spock mentioned that the Romulan Wars were fought with 'primitive' atomic weapons. I would like to think that this will be remembered in ENT, and I theorize that it's even possible that the missile-like torpedos used on the show may even be some form of nuclear device.

Man, I don't get why an anti-matter explosion is better then nuke.
We know for a fact that temperature and radiation level at the center and near proximity of a "fusion" explosion is about the same as the center of a sun
We also know for a fact that most star ship can't even get close to the sun without being toasted.
Not to mention the EMP generated by the explosion.
So, why the hell do star ship use Anti-Matter instead of fusion weapons?

Maybe to avoid getting toasted by the EMP from your own missile
Maybe because antimatter leaves less 'dirty radiation' and instead concentrates the energy release into hot blast effects rather than irradiating the vicinity and debris for a while
Something to do with the way it pierces shields r, ahem 'polarized hulls' more efficiently..
They must be worth the while, im trying to figure out whats more dangerous to carry, antimatter or uranium? probably antimatter, so whatever it does better must be worth their while for going through the trouble of carrying it

Maybe because a matter/antimatter reaction is the most energetic one in the universe? Maybe? Physics, you know? Just possibly?

What I would like to see can be summed up in one word: Tholians
And hear them as well. They have the coolest alien voices I've ever heard. One reviewer described it as "the sound of five angry sopranos singing through a filter"
