[Possible spoilers for "The Expanse" and beyond]
Dunno if this has been discussed here yet, but it just occurred to me. The season finale, and what's been revealed of the next season of Enterprise, seems really close to home. Think about it: a huge catastrophe is suffered. Many lives are lost. We know who dunnit, and they're in a far off region full of danger and intrigue. A group of that power's finest is sent on a proactive mission to prevent something like that from happening again.
Hmm... Looks like there's going to be some crew reassignments on board. But what does this "extra muscle" mean? Human soldiers? Andorian shock troops? Tribbles?

Marines? Maybe... but they haven't even given us any REGULAR Redshirts yet? No one has yet to die on the NX-01 yet, right? (Daniels doesn't count, reallly.)

Sounds like it has potential.I'm all for more of an ongoing storyline. However... I fear that this will disrupt the Temporal Cold War storyline. If it doesn't, and the TCW plot is altered to fit this new direction, then it means that the writers never had any firm idea about who's behind the TCW in the first place.
Also... does this mission save earth remind anyone else of the B5 spin off? What was it... Crusade?
I don't know... it could be good. How much you wanna bet that this "change" to T'pol involves her acting somewhat slutty and wearing a uniform that shows bare arms and her mid-drift?

Didn't first rumours say the Klingons attacked Earth in "The Expanse"? In the latest TrekToday reports this has been changed into an "unknown alien probe"..? Something from the "Delphic Expanse" (which possibly is a bit like the Delta Triangle from TAS).
I'd like the alleged new crewmember to be at least of a known race. I mean, what fun is it to have yet another new alien? And an Andorian would be one of the likely choices. And they are one of the major 'friendly' aliens in ENT.

Seeing as how, unlike many (most, if ratings are anything to go by, alas) viewers I was more or less happy with Enterprise, (Certainly with the premises of it.) I'm kind of wary about tossing in a whole new ongoing plot when we've already got two rather sizable ones going on already.
But, having said that, I wonder if this could have something to do with the aliens from "Silent Enemy." That would be neat.

Mmmm.... Time with Hoshi. That could be it's own show right there.
I'm all for some action... but it needs to have something to do with the ongoing stories already established. That's all I'll say. And I think it needs to have a point. In other words, they need to have an idea where this is going and how it's going to tie in with the rest of the series, and the other Trek series. I think that's the only way this will dramatically improve the show.
