  1. Many people are saying "I don't care if ENT screws things up..." However, people who actually like to follow the timeline don't like Ent...

     

    Which basically means that there are dissenting schools of thought within a fandom. This happens all the time, Harry. There's room for all sorts of opinions among ST fans.


  2. I'll admit that I've hardly seen any Enterprise since the first season ended, but even if it were not strictly canon, I don't see how that would diminish its entertainment value. I'm more active in the world of Star Wars fan fiction than in any other fandoms, and I adore AU (alternate universe) fics there. They're often more fun than the canon stories. *shrugs* Just my own opinion.

     

    EDIT: Just saw this:

    Face facts, you may enjoy Enterprise but it does not fit in to Star Trek history in any way, therefore it IS NOT a Star Trek series and has no right to use the name!

     

    I'm going to have to disagree with that one, Harry. Once again using SW fanfic as an example because I am more familiar with it, an AU fic that totally contradicts the canon story can be and IS still Star Wars. I'm currently reading a fantastic trilogy called The Skywalker Prophecy, in which Anakin doesn't turn to the dark side, he and Padmé have two other children besides Luke and Leia, Mara Jade is Anakin's Jedi apprentice - and guess what? It's still Star Wars. Same characters, same feel, only twisted a little bit.

     

    And quite frankly, Star Trek has had continuity errors before Enterprise and it will have them once Enterprise is long gone, too. That doesn't make Enterprise any less worthy of the name.

     

     

     


  3. Nemesis...well that was a farce.  I really don't see how Romulans would have ever let a Reman (A reman Human at all) to come to any power or generalship.  Heh, in fact...I think they were trying to use the 'Kahn' type Enemy and 'Data' as Spock in STII.  Its failed terribly.  And I don't see why Romulans would mine much dilithium at that time...since their power cores are quantum singularities....

     

    Just a thought  <_<

     

    Couldn't agree more. I hope I don't get lynched for saying this, but I hated Nemesis. The entire condition of the Remans in the first place - I'm sorry, I don't care what they were exposed to or whatever the cause supposedly was. The Remans are still Romulans genetically. They just live on a different planet. It would be like humans living on Mars: are they any less humans than the ones on Earth? And supposing that the Romulans did think so little of the Remans, I agree with Argelian that they wouldn't allow one to be in a position of power. And the whole 'clone Picard' thing - *shudders* Sorry. Definitely not a movie I'm watching again.

     

    As far as the Romulans turning good, it seems to me that any alliances they have with the Federation and/or the Klingons are more out of practical necessity than any deepseated good fellowship. I don't think we have to worry about them being a serious not-enemy any time soon.

     

    I just have to toss this in: I know that the ST books are not considered to be canon the way the SW books are to that saga, but my all time favorite portrayals of the Romulans has to be Diane Duane's My Enemy, My Ally and The Romulan Way. What a beautifully intricate look at Romulan (Rihannsu) society. They totally made the Romulans feel like real people, not just another enemy of the Federation. :nono:

    I am the Diet Coke of eevil. What makes it far worse is that my best friends write SW fanfiction that is so much eeviler than mine, no matter how hard I try to be eevil like them. *hangs head in shame*
