Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted May 18, 2003 I've read a recent article in the "News" section, that... Click for Spoiler: The Xindi will be the big foes of ENT. They want a "new foe". They said the Romulans won't be that foe becuase we've seen them many times. Well, what about the Romulan War? I was very excited about seeing that story arc! Are they gonna replace the Romulan War with a war with the Xindi?! I'm very upset here. What do you all think's gonna happen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poguemahone 0 Posted May 18, 2003 Click for Spoiler: The war with the Romulans shouldn't happen till mid season 4, so I think to fill the void they're gonna toss in these Xindi people. I agree that it seems odd they wouldn't want to use exsisting groups to tie the whole Star Trek universe togeather, since that's what I think more people want than these major ones like the Sulibans that don't exsist other than on ENT.I think we will see it, we have to, it's the whole point of this series, the birth of the Federation, of which the Romulan War is a major part of.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted May 18, 2003 Click for Spoiler: Perhaps they will have the Romulan War in seasons 5-7, then finish it and found the Federation in a movie? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trekystalker 0 Posted May 18, 2003 Click for Spoiler: In the TOS episode Balance of Terror, Kirk said that during the Earth-Romulan War, both the Romulans and Terrans lobbed nukes across space at each other. Maybe that's still the most powerful weapon they have on a large scale, so when the war starts, then they'll either have Enterprise chunk the nukes, or they'll do it fomr Earth.

Click for Spoiler: that's what i'm thinking, the war starts in 2156-ish, it's only 2152-ish, they could do like the TOS movies did with the Klingons in STVI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timmy84 0 Posted May 18, 2003 If anything.... Click for Spoiler: The conflict with the Xindi would make Starfleet able to wage war. The NX-02 hasn't even been built by 'The Expanse'. This attack may start a mass production of NX class ships. Even a mass upgrade of the warp 2 fleet to warp 3 or 4. Then they could fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted May 18, 2003 This is all theory and conjecture but I put it in a spoiler box anyway… Click for Spoiler: I like the idea of using the Xindi as a means to prepare for the stink with the Romulans. I also like the idea of seeing the formation of the FED on the big screen. Setting the Romulans aside for the moment, and concentrating on how the Xindi fit into the BIG picture; I think the most important thing about them is that they are attacking Earth (of the past) because of their knowledge of Earthlings involvement in the destruction of their world, what is it, four hundred years in the future from the time of ENT (?) That’s after NEM, right? I think they are setting the stage for the next series, which goes back to the future (post NEM) but draws heavily on events we are seeing on ENT now. That could also explain why we are seeing so many new species on ENT, they are creating whole new backstorys to use as material to expand on in the post NEM timeframe. Make any sense? Anyway, those are my thoughts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted May 18, 2003 Just as long as we get to see the Romulan War on ENT, I'll be happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Syperphobia 0 Posted May 18, 2003 Ok these spoilers are getting on my nerves... BIG TIME. Anyway, to add my thoughts, I would like ENT to stray from the original plot of the Romulan war and go more into the Temporary Cold War. Having the Temparary Cold War as a main plot for the last season can cause a ripple effect if they wanted to start a series show involving the time after Voyager.

Having the Temparary Cold War as a main plot for the last season can cause a ripple effect if they wanted to start a series show involving the time after Voyager. True, but if the Romulan War doesn't happen, then the Federation may not be founded, and if that happens, Voyager would have never of existed. Personally, I'll extremely ticked off if they don't show the Romulan War. I thought this series was suppose to tell the following 3 stories: 1. Starfleet's first mission 2. Romulan War 3. Founding of the Federation Ya can't just use the TCW to change whatever you want, what about the previous shows? TO AHANE: The spoiler buttons are a rule. We're suppose to use them when discussing upcoming Trek episodes, story arcs, or news concerning the next movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klingonmike 0 Posted May 19, 2003 They are still a couple of years away from the Romulin war,I'm sure we'll here more about them towards the end of Enterprise's 7 year run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted May 19, 2003 Perhaps it's more that they want to save the Romulans for the end rather than use them now? If that's the case, that that's A OK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Admiral Kirk 1 Posted May 19, 2003 I think the Romulan wars will start near the end of Enterprise's run. The founding of the Federation reportedly was prompted by this war. I would love to see the UFP established in either a movie or the last eps of Enterprise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted May 20, 2003 Thank you; cptwright, ddillard, Takara_Soong, and Takara, I don’t see why not. By that time the B4 would have incorporated all of Data’s memories, he could behave exactly as Data by then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You never know. Since B4 was constructed before Lore and Lore had some emotions maybe B4 was given them too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
