As I watched the Vaankara tape, I had terrible flashbacks to Event Horizon. This film, released in the mid-1990's, was the story of a lost ship which had returned from an unknown place. The crew of the rescue ship watched a log of the Event Horizon's crew raging against each other and when the tape ends there is a brief glimpse of one crewmember's face. The tape of the Vaankara was very reminescent of this film's logs down to the murderous rage of the crew and the camera suddenly focusing on the dying face of a crew member. For me, this was Star Trek parody.
For my mother, she didn't believe Florida would be above water in 2153. She thinks Florida will be flooded by rising waters.

Nope. The D5 from "Judgment" is quite distinct from the pre-BoP design, but it *is* however the same as the deuterium tanker from "Marauders."

Yes, I have, but not because I don't like the show. Firstly, it explains almost all continuity errors. Secondly, Braga more or less confirmed this theory. And thirdly, I want to enjoy the show.

When asked about continuity discrepancies in "Regeneration", Braga replied the "timeline has been altered".

I think that comes from his comments on "Regeneration". And besides, if he can ignore all the other series, we can ignore Enterprise
But seriously, placing Enterprise in a different reality would be a rather clean way to explain all the 'errors' to the more loyal fans that have grown up with quite a different view of Star Trek, while still giving enough eye-candy for the occasional viewer.

I really like that idea. It seems rather likely that someone left ship plans on Earth in FC, which would explain the design similarities. Perhaps they also left some tech information, which would explain the early introduction of photon torpedoes, transporters, etc.
And it is a nice reason why Enterprise is called Enterprise, considering that it appears to have been called "Dauntless" in the real/other timeline.

Screw that. I recognise Enterprise as canon and completely throw out TOS's final season, TAS, STV and the "transwarp devolvment" episode of Voyager. Basically anything that makes me scream "What numb fuck wrote this crap and how in fuck did this get O.K.'d by anyone?!?". Yes, I know, Voyager has several more of these moments, but I'm sleepy and don't want to get riled up just now.

Why the final season of TOS? And if you throw out that, why not seasons 1 and 2 as well?
If I were to do a "throwing things out of canon" theory, I'd probably remove all of TOS, TMP, TFF, INS, Trials and Tribble-ations (DS9), Threshold (aka The One With Bad Science) (VOY), The One With Scotty (TNG), probably most of the Q episodes, and the silliest Voyager episodes to boot (I'm not even going to bother listing the silly episodes that don't particularly stick out).
Oh, and I could remove the "we can't replicate torpedoes" comment, and the entire "we haven't got a backup warp core, that one's just a cardboard cutout" episode.
