Does anyone have any information on the upcoming ENT episode E2 (or E Squared)? There does not seem to be a lot of info around (obv. due to the fact that it hasn't aired yet), but I am wondering what the mysterious Starfleet ship is that Enterprise is supposed to encounter?
Someone on these forums said that it was supposed to be an Enterprise from three generations ahead. That could either be three Enterprise generations ahead (making it the Enterprise-B), or three series generations ahead (making it TNG-Era).
However, I think it is most likely that it is just three age generations ahead, making the "bizarre encounter with another Starfleet ship" just an encounter with a future NX-01. This is supported by the fact that 'Karyn Archer' is listed in the guest cast.

How does Karyn Archer compute to a future NX-01?
If we say that a 22nd century generation is ~30 years, it might be a very early USS Enterprise NCC-1701 under the command of April (in 2244).
Three 'Enterprise' generations does make it the Enterprise-B, and three series would make it the D or E.
But I actually doubt it will be any of those. I don't know where that "three generations" number comes from, but it's more likely they'll use the Enterprise-J, since this ship has already been introduced by ENT.
And considering TPTB generally feel that viewers are quickly confused by having similar ships in one episode, I'll doubt they'll use one of the 'old' Enterprises.

Enterprise-J sets are built and it was shown already in Azati Prime, yet it would be nice to see the Enterprise-E sets and CGI ship model say hi on the small screen.

"While on the way to speak before the Xindi Council, Archer and the crew encounter a future Enterprise ship piloted by their direct descendants who warn them that the wormhole shortcut they intend to take to the planned meeting will throw them 100 years into the past"
'direct decendents' suggests that Karyn Archer is in fact Archer's daughter, hence the Starfleet vessel unfortunatly being the future NX-01.
Personally, I would have liked to have seen more of the Enterprise-B...

It's a "Children of Time" DS9 Plot. Ent gets thrown back in time. Their descendants eventually take over for the crew. The ship finally catches up with the "present" and they have to decide whether to change history, and thereby erasing all their descendants from the timeline.

I did read somewhere that Blalock had to wear make-up to play a 200 year old T'Pol...

Wouldn't the equivalent for ENT be to be equipped with one TOS-phaser and one TOS-phototorp launcher, ie next step in development? (OMG FAR OUT LOL!)
