When will they ever learn?

OK, so I'm not the only one who thinks things round here are devolving to sub-TrekBBS levels, and blaming worffan for that, and planning to kill him?

Okay, so now that Zero Hour ends with Nazi Aliens, let us pretend the makersofEnterprise won't use a reset button.
What does that leave as viable options for the outcome o' this bag o' retread? A simulacrum like that Voyager episode with the, uh, Hirogen is it?

Then again, they may just jump back into the TCW arc - the Nazis and crap have NOTHING to do with the Xindi, but FutureGuy and Daniels mucking stuff up again. They just jump back into it, with a simple explanation being given for how Archer survived - getting yanked out by Daniels and into the next story.

I don't see how they'd fit as time-related, though. It's not all Marty McFly-styled-getting-the-almanac type deal, they have to get aliens to come and be all powerful, then get them to become the nazi party.
Here's hoping the whole season is a Band of Brothers vs. The Nazis Aliens deal.

I've heard a few things from a reliable source:
1. The Nazi Alien was referred to in the script as "a member of a previously unseen alien race." So not Reman.
2. TPTB threw this cliffhanger onto Zero Hour but at the time had no explanation for it (i.e. they're going to worry about it when production for season four starts).
3. The first few scripts for season four have already been written, so it's likely that they will involve this whole Nazi thing.

Not sure what you're on about now, but there weren't "Nazi Aliens." There was a singular Nazi Alien. Not to say that there couldn't be more, but we've only seen one.
And Dukkie, it's possible that while the script was unspecific about what sort of alien this Nazi was to be, during production it was decided to make him a Reman for (as yet) unknown reasons. IIRC, this is what happened with the episode "Bounty," where originally there were no Tellarites involved in the story but merely generic aliens, but some clever fellow decided to use this already-established race instead.
While I'm wary of using the Remans, I'm even more dubious of inventing some race that looks 90% identical to them but is supposed to be different. You'd think they'd come up with a more distinct makeup job if there wasn't supposed to be a connection.

I am assuming there are more than one, because they probably have more than one costume on the rack leftover from Voyager.

Oh, that's comforting.
"...during production it was decided to make him a Reman for (as yet) unknown reasons."
Okay, well, while that could have happened, there remains the fact that he didn't look like a Reman.
"...I'm even more dubious of inventing some race that looks 90% identical to them but is supposed to be different."
What, like just about all of the "small latex forehead prosthetic" aliens Trek has ever had?
