I beg to differ. Enterprise already has to be way ahead of Voyager in these respects. Plot holes are more Trek-lore-wise than specifically regarding a certain episode (detailed scans of Borg a hundred years before E-D encountered them? And Data didn't have the slightest clue what they were on the first contact with them?? :wtf: ), and as for time travel - hah! The whole overriding and recurring plot of Enterprise is this Temporal Cold War.


...not that they haven't been, for the most part, very good episodes this 3rd season... :nervous:

EDIT: Ok, just watched the trailer. Didn't even find it mildly funny, but from the parts that my eyes were able to catch in-between twitching from the screen to the subtitles and back, it looked like they have some EXTREMELY talented 3D artists and stuff - I don't think I've ever seen special effects that impressive. :nod: :yes:

They also directly contradict Voyager in the very title of the show. According to Voyager, the NX-01 was the Dauntless. Not to mention the fact that they completely screwed up the Romulans and gave them cloaking devices (anyone remember "The Enterprise Incident" from TOS?)....

EDIT: Sorry, wrong episode. I meant "Balance of Terror".

Another example of this is the Ferengi's appearance in the first season.  Why would no one on the Stargazer recognize them?

And had the Rihannsu (sp?) call themselves "Romulans", too. :doubt:

Yeah, although at least they didn't mention the name "Ferengi" at all.

I don't care about the plot holes that much. I care about the crappy writing.

For instance they recently showed the Season 2 episode where Hoshi turns invisible. It was a good enough episode until the bit where they decided that they hadn't got a clue how to end it and decicded it was all a dream.

Seriously if that is the best they can up with for an episode it's time to give up doing trek for a few years.

I have an odd feeling we're going to have this entire series be obliterated in the final season by "Year of Hell" syndrome.  The entire series wiped off the map. Either that, or a new show set in the TOS era of the "new" Trek universe.

Yeah, all those hints Daniels has dropped about various things never having taken place according to "his" future timeline... but while I'm not surprised to find them doing those "nothing-really-happened-at-all" plots on an episodal basis, I'd be very surprised to discover that they drop that same kind of thing on us at a seasonal - or, even worse, a series - level. :doubt:

Related to timelines altering, I've been reading through a book by Orson Scott Card, called "Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Colombus". It's quite a book, dealing very adeptly with timelines, time vs. causality (Merovingian, anyone?), etc etc. Quite a good read. :yes:

I'll have to keep an eye out for that. OSC writes pretty interesting stuff although I've only read the Ender & Bean books.

So where might I download Star Wreck 1-5?  They're not on the site, and I can't find any mirrors.
