http://www.trektoday.com/news/200303_04.shtml The Klingons are just about to lead a boarding party when three Starfleet vessels (but only of the warp two variety) fly in, weapons blazing. Faced with such superior firepower, the Klingons are forced to withdraw.

I'm not sure if this is such a good idea, returning to Earth like this.
Still, based on these spoilers, it sounds like they might be able to twist the "First Contact" line and the Klingon conflict to fit ENT events after all...

Clearly, after these two major "Earth events", it's not just about Archer and the NX-01 any more. Archer is not on a mere propaganda stunt now - he's out to save Earth's ass for real. Bigger powers will become involved. (Heck, other Starfleet starships will become involved!)
ENT will have to pull its act together, create some sort of a story arc, and then we can all look back to the first two seasons and say "Ooh, foreshadowing!"...
Or then these big issues will be dropped again, and ENT will degenerate into an X-files rehash where the big resolution forever remains beyond the season horizon.

Or else the writers will bring in a kick-ass new warship to accompany the NX-01, and significantly change the series premise in an attempt to make the series more interesting. Sound familiar?
Despite my rather disparaging tone, I would definitely approve of a shift in strategy to include more of a political/military aspect of the sseries arc.

I think a political backdrop would fit well, too... as the founding of the Federation gets closer... they're almost going to have to go that direction. At least... it's what they *should* do. We've already got way too much info about the Vulcans and thier political situation to not get into some of that stuff.

You must have missed the fact that DS9 actually was interesting after that...

The Circle Trilogy is some of the best Star Trek ever made... right up there with ST:2 & 4 [and if you want to have three included in there then the entire Arc of those movies].

Agreed on both counts above. I loved plenty of the early DS9 episodes, though not all. And I don't think that it was such a huge change of premise as some people believed.
However, my sarcasm was directed at the fact that some people out there snipe at the DS9 writers for allegedly creating the Dominion and later the war story as a gimmick for more ratings.
Honestly, whatever changes B&B make, I hope I like them. And if what we've seen in some of season two so far is any indication combined with the spoilers so far, I think I'm going to approve -- and actually even LIKE the show rather than just watch it because it's reasonably entertaining and a Star Trek show.

Er, no. Almost everyone loved those episodes. It was stuff like "Move Along Home" and "The Passenger" (IT WAS BASHIR! SHOCK!) that people think of when they remember the not-terribly-good seasons 1 and 2. That and the fact that Sisko was a boring twat.
But yes! Let's have more military stuff. Then we can have the explosions and things going boom and Archer saying "Do you feel lucky?"! Boom!

I always think of the Tosk episode in season one and the "Cloned Obrien episode" in season two. I hardly remember the circle trilogy so I'm looking forward to seeing that on DVD...as I recall it was Trek's first foray into ongoing multipart story arcs. ...and Sisko was'nt a "boring twat": he just rarely got pissed untill the Dominion showed up and started killing thousands of Starfleeters. Sisko is at his best when he's really pissed: watch him dress down Worf a couple of times and you'll see my point.

You know, its weird. I remember watching a Trek marathon many years ago where they played the episodes of each series that was voted as fan favourites. There was an episode or two from each series. BoBW was of course the TNG ep, but surprisingly, "Move Along Home" was the DS9 ep. Mind you, I think this was during DS9's run, before the Dominion War, I think.

It would have had to have been at a strange point in time when "Move Along Home" was the ONLY DS9 episode in existence.
And come on, he was dull as hell. He walked around being boring and "My wife was killed and I'm dull and stuff".
It's remarkable how much you can brighten a man up by shaving of his hair and giving him a beard. Oh, and supplying him with a ship capable of levelling entire planets. Go penis-substitute!

Actually, I think it may have been a marathon for the most fun episodes, because the TOS ep was "The Trouble With Tribbles". But that's not really indicitive of anything.
