So, the "Xindi" attack Earth because they found out about Earth attacking their planet in 400 years time, presumably because of the Temporal Cold War thing.

Does this mean that:
a) this has always been meant to happen, and they just never mentioned it before, or
b) this changes the timeline?

In other episodes, present people altering past events has always resulted in changes to the timeline, and we have never (to my knowledge) had the "me going back in time and doing something actually caused what I remember happening all along" thing.

This could be the beginning of the Big Star Trek Reset Button...

We had something like that in "Parallex" and, er, that other VOY episode that was right next to it, where it turned out that responding to a distress call actually caused something to happen that resulted in time travel that resulted in Voyager going there. Or something. Both episodes made little sense, because neither of them had a way for a loop to get started. AND THEY WERE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER! Silly writers.

Actually, thinking about it, didn't "Return To Tomorrow" (or whatever that episode with Gary Seven was called) have this situation? The Enterprise went back in time, and it's events actually turned out to have been what happened all along, due to some very ropey checking by Spock.

--------------------
Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I tend to avoid icky time travel episodes (especially Voyager ones), but it seems in this case that it could go either way...

I certainly think that a large chunk of America being obliterated is something that someone would have mentioned at some point.

Oh, not this again. How often do you mention specific natural disasters in your every day conversation? In all of Trek, they've mentioned the date of the fonding of the Federation barely once.

Or, if you don't agree, watch every episode of Cheers, and see how many times the Battle of Midway is mentioned. Or Hiroshima.

That'd be twice and four times respectively.

It certainly makes the Breen attack on Earth comparatively wimpy.

What's going on here!?

Xindi == Kzinti? Ship retrofitted for war? T'Pol in a new catsuit with her hair down? What is all this? The mirror universe!?

More like: T'Pol not a part of the High-Council anymore? What next she enters some sort of Vulcan... cocoon and emerges Half-Human!!

Then She'll fall in love with Archer... he'll be told not to go to Q'Onos by the Mysterious future guy! [Smile]

Future Guy!!

Sounds like they are going on the 'when all hell breaks out' theory for saving the series.
