Again, it's not the continuity we're worried about. It's the fact that a good show is expected to come up w/ something original, not rehash something that was used (by the same people) ad nauseam in the last series.

Hence why I said that as long as they can manage to keep 22nd Century Borg, 22nd Century Borg Vessels, Janeway, Picard, Locutus, the Queen, Hugh, Lore, or Ferengi out of the picture there is a chance that keeping this episode an "isolated, what the hell are these things" [incident].

Creating an "isolated incident"-type episode to explore the possibility of finding the remains of a 24th century Borg Sphere that was destroyed by a 24th century Federation/Starfleet starship during the 21st Century is an interesting premise, AS LONG AS they stick to it being a single 2-part episode that doesnt involve more Borg (inc. 24th, 22nd, 53rd, 18th Century Borg) before, during, or after that cliff-hanger concludes, period. It is feasable to do, moreso than the Ferengi or holodecks or Vulcans stalking Sputnik have been, because we know that the possibility of wreckage exists, because it WAS there, or will be there in the futures past.

Yes, I agree with you about originality in Enterpise as a whole; but if Berman INSISTS on rehashing an old idea, this certainly has been the most original concept thus far, just look at the new Klingon ep coming up and tell me that this at least sounds more interesting.

Dont get me wrong, I do hate the Borg and all the screwing Janeway has done with the Borg, but this does at least sound interesting. At least they are using an original idea as an element of a paradox: "here is a ship that wont be in known use for another 220 years destroyed 90 years ago" lets write a story about it. It has to a better concept then "All Good Things..." was, and even though it IS the Borg, at least its a good idea. How the episode as a whole pans out, that is something yet to be determined

I thought "All Good Things" was a piss poor excuse of a paradox in relation to how this one has the potential to work.

I'm not sure I see how the Borg thing is a paradox.

Well, in the remains of the Sphere they find schematics for 7 of 9's breast implants and realize that the same technology is in T'Pol's breast implants.....then Wesley shows up......then the crew have to stop that Bill Gates ripoff from Voyager and steal back all the tech he stole....then Voyager stops him...then Braga runs out of ideas again ....then somebody finds Data's head and Guinan joins the crew....then the Enterprise crew will dress up in Nazi uniforms for some reason....then as the stories run dry there'll be a proportional increase in "special two hour movie event" episodes...

So, are they going to adopt 7 of 9 and have a T'Pol/Sato/Seven decon episode or what?

"...just look at the new Klingon ep coming up and tell me that this at least sounds more interesting."

The Klingon episode sounds far more appealing.

That might renew my interest in the show.

I wanted to like this show, but honestly, I find it too boring. I doubt the Borg would peak my curiosity. Also, I think I am the only guy who doesn't find T'Pol (or the actress) attractive at all. [Roll Eyes]

--------------------
Picard: Mr. Crusher, what's our maximum speed this week?
Wesley: [checking manual] Uh, 9.4, sir.
Picard: Very good. Take us to Warp 9.8 then.
Wesley: Aye, sir. Warp 9.2 it is.

I would assume that around here those of us that find T'Pol attractive are the minority.
