Here's a thought: this little "save the ship" incident could explain why the NX-01 isn't on the walls in TMP and TNG -- since it was ignominiously destroyed flying into some stellar nursery less than six months into its mission, it wasn't nearly important enough to include on those historical wall-hangings.

MysteryFutureGuy = James Horan.

MinutiaeMan's theory has certainly been kicking around for a while. Of course, it's still being left unclear (wisely, I think) whether ENT takes place in an alternate timeline to existing Trek thanks either to the events of "Broken Bow" or "Cold Front" or whether the timeline alterations naturally lead to the 23rd and 24th century we already know putting ENT in the same timeline.

John Vernon would be better, though. Imagine it now:


"Greg, what is the worst ship in this fleet?"

"Well that would be hard to say, sir. They're each outstanding in their own way."

"Cut the horseshit, son. I've got their disciplinary files right here. Who dropped a whole cargohold of fizzies into Lake Armstrong? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the Admiral's Banquet? Every Halloween, the drydocks are filled with underwear. Every refit, the toilets explode."

"You're talking about Enterprise, sir."

"Of COURSE I'm talking about Enterprise, you TWERP!"

It may be unclear in fans' minds, but it's not being left unclear by Berman and Braga... they have always indicated that Enterprise is supposed to take place in the "main" Star Trek universe. That's why, for instance, Braga agonized in an interview over visual contact with Romulans being a continuity violation. They routinely state that they're trying to make things fit, and would only break established continuity if they had a very good reason... whether or not they achieve that is, of course, a different story.
