Could have done more with the Klingons and Andorians. The Xindi plot was not needed to get to the founding of the Federation.

It's 7 years at this point since Patterns of Interference. Does anyone have any piece of information about a new enterprise novel (be it from Bennet or anyone else).

I don't see any news about it on Memory Beta or Christopher Bennet's website.

Gary Graham actor that played ambassador soval on Enterprise and had a long list of acting credits passed away. (6/6/1950 - 1/22/2024)

I'm wrapping up the 1st season of my 3rd STE run. After recently reading an account of Jolene Blalock's frustrations with the show's depiction of T'Pol, I now find many of her scenes cringeworthy and embarrassing. I never noticed this dynamic before. I feel bad for the actor and the character tbh. I would like to see T'Pol return to the ST universe in a capacity befitting her background as an accomplished scientist. A refreshed characterization so to speak (e.g., Seven in Picard).

let me set up the scenario here.

what if the USS Defiant NCC-1764 from tholians web that disappeared in the interphasic rift didn't end up in the mirror universe circa 2155 but it ended up right back into a universe that is 99% the same as the prime universe but circa 2153 right after the xindi attack on earth. let's say that in this universe the xindi attacked too.

let's say the ship comes through the rift just outside the solar system.

the historical databanks on the ship are wiped clean by unknown parties.

the ship is adrift, not damaged, it was never stripped down by tholian slave workers.

starfleet of the era pick up the ship on their long range sensors and send earth ships to check in on it.

they find the defiant floating in space.

they tow it back to earth spacedock for examination and they are shocked that it's an earth ship based on the design aesthetics and that it has english on the hull.

so archer and his NX-01 arrive back to earth. Admiral forrest greet them and say jon i got a surprise for you. they tell archer about the new ship they discovered. they don't know anything about it. they are getting the defiant cleaned up the best they can. they say that with the xindi attack they will want archer to investigate who attacked them but they will use the USS Defiant. Forrest will transfer archers crew plus additional crew to staff the defiant (so let's say extra 300 personnel plus macos).

What kind of wild antics and madness do you guys think ensues afterwards.

like what would soval and the vulcans think.

duras tries to hunt down archer but now instead of the nx-01 its the defiant

how would the defiant and archer/friends do in the delphic expanse

how would the defiant fare against the xindi and anomalies/sphere builders.

how would the defiant do in the time travel by daniels when they go back in time where the nazis were winning world war 2 would the defiant stand up to vosks giant plasma cannon.

etc. you guys can feel free to chime in and any thoughts or opinions are more than welcome.

Hey y'all!

I'm Stanford, and a couple buddies and I started a Star Trek rewatch podcast. Our plan, ambitious though it may be, is to rewatch all of the televised Star Trek series in canon, chronological order. It's... Well, it's going to take a while.

Since we're going in chronological order, we've started with Enterprise. And even though it is not our favorite of the Treks, we're having a lot of fun making the podcast. We're doing an episode of the show every week, and we're already 9 episodes into season 2.

If you're the kind of person that likes podcasts, it'd be awesome if you checked it out! We call it Captain's Log: Supplemental and it's on pretty much every platform.

We don't have any advertisers or sponsors; it's been purely a passion project so far. Each episode is broken into three segments: a thorough summary of the episode, a deep dive discussion of a topic related to that episode, and a potpourri section of Star Trek related content. Because of the summary at the beginning, you don't need to actually watch along each week to keep up with what's going on. At least, that's our goal.

We're having a lot of fun with it, and I hope you enjoy it too! I'm happy to answer any questions here, if you've got any.

So this is an excellent episode but for anyone who could offer Insight I got two major grapes with this episode. First hope everyone is doing well peace and prosperity Happy New Year.

The planet that they were going to survey, did they return to it if so that would have been something interesting to know? Also why didn't they just let go to the planet ( did the wave enter the planet's atmosphere and kill everything on the planet?) Enterprise can enter the atmosphere they proved it when they freaking went to New York which by the way you're not even the Enterprise D did that. I'll never forget that image of just Enterprise flying in the city that was so freaking cool.

Secondly for this neutronic wavefront being so incredibly devastating how is it that we've never heard of this and if so I appreciate the correction? And by the way this is one of the reasons why I think the Enterprise is the most realistic and yeah I think it's possibly the best one of all the series because of episodes like this s*** we don't know what to do let's try this. And it worked but they didn't know it would work and they didn't have like tons of sensors and 1,000 people to ask and get their opinion and use their experience.

EPISODE: Damage 2 After the Xinde badly damaged Enterprise, Archer ordered a raid to steal the Illyrians' warp coil. This left the llyrians without warp capabilities and a 3-year journey home.

I often wondered why the writers didn’t include a future scene (after the Xinde weapon was destroyed/Enterprise returns home victoriously) where the Enterprise finds the llyrians ship and returns their warp drive or gives them one capable of twice the speed.

I always thought that the writers missed a great opportunity to mitigate the immorality and ruthlessness of Archer’s actions.

So I'm wondering do you guys think Enterprise was the most realistic? They wasn't sure what was there the scanners weren't powerful enough if we're considering from Next Generation to roughly current lower decks. They didn't know who they were going up against? They were more than rarely outgunned! Their technology was not assumed to be better than others. And it was kind of like a huge submarine. Locking compartments and more of a linear flow where it didn't have a ton of decks it was more long and it showed that way. It's something that you could see see Earth building now it's more realistic to what we know of now. I might be rambling apologies but I could see this being a reality more than I could Generations or Voyager on a basic scale. Anyway have a great day everyone. Optimism captain!!

I was born in 1970. I grew up on TOS in syndication and experienced the joy of TNG restoring this amazing universe in my 20s. Voyager and DS9 didn't capture me. But Discovery did. And the crossover episode had me binging Lower Decks. As that show is a neverending love letter to all earlier series, it brought me to revisit all of those, including Enterprise. And... Enterprise is is great. No Federation. No Prime Directive. Just Cap'n Archer & Co. cruising the cosmos with morally uplifting action. As explorers! This series is so true to world created by Mr. Roddenberry it is uncanny. Haters gonna hate, but this transcends all that.

Being my all time favorite is TNG and runner up is VOYAGER.

I can see a very strong resemblance with Doctor Phlox to Neelix from Voyager.

Neelix was always a very likable character. Annoying at times but always good for the Trekkie soul.

This is my 2nd round through the series of Enterprise. 1st time actually paying attention. Giving it my honest review/opinion. It feels different and odd compared to Voyager TNG & DS9. The vibe is different.

I'd post a pic but its not allowed for some reason. Im looking for the whiskey at 27:15 seconds...

I watched it about a decade ago and thought it was pretty bad (while TNG and DS9 are two of my favorite series of all time). The first season of the rewatch I've been thinking "maybe I misjudged" then I got to the end of season 1 and I'm on that episode and I forgot how the whole Xindi thing started.

No space traveler would attempt entry to a combustible atmosphere but in emergency circumstances. I mean, physics in general tends to exclude any hypothetical atmosphere that could have the ability to combust but doesn't.

And now I remember why Enterprise made me angry - they give Johnathan Archer who I want to like stupid situations and then have him make ridiculous decisions and I feel like the screenwriters must know that.

Archer makes Kirk look nerdy - and, yes, supposedly Kirk is nerdy in script but he's usually a cowboy or showboater in practice.

That suit is awesome i've been trying to find it online and cant find it anywhere...and i want it really bad it is EPIC looking

https://ibb.co/ZJBPRDd <---i want this suit!!!

I’ve recently been hearing some ads on NPR that sound like they are voiced by Trip Tucker himself.

Am I imagining things? Has anyone else heard those ads? Can anyone confirm that this is, in fact, C.Trinneer?

I’m new to Star Trek so I’m trying to watch everything in order but I just wanted peoples opinion on this episode. Basically the enterprise meets a new species and they have a 3rd gender called cogenitors who have no rights other than to be used and trip encourages it to learn. When it is forced to go back to their ship it commits suicide and Archer blames Trip. Felt super dark just wondering what other people’s thoughts were.

Cameo by Jolene Blalock as Admiral T'Pol speaking with Ethan Peck's Spock?

Wouldn't it be cool to have a cameo of Jolene Blalock as Admiral T'Pol of Starfleet Science Directorate having tea with Ethan Peck as Spock in a restaurant on Starbase One? Maybe she mentored him since starting at Starfleet Academy? Perhaps they could be discussing the complexities of being in friendships and relationships with humans. Maybe making veiled references to Trip Tucker and Christine Chapel? Then Pike comes up and they quickly switch to discussing the complexities of quantum gravity near black holes? I would just love to see some cameo of Jolene Blalock on Star Trek Strange New Worlds. 

Everything Malcolm gets in a situation that jeopardizes his life he becomes an emotional pile of crap. Focuses on dying everything.

What's his deal?!

So I noticed this shadowy figure was the image of Archer. i also noticed the suliban kind of aided and almost guided Archer and enterprise at times. The identity was never revealed in the show unfortunately.

But according to the creator of the show Braga, on twitter, my assumption was correct, their ploy was to eventually reveal Archer as the benefactor. In case anyone else was also wondering.

Which means he was providing an alien species with augments to incentivize them to do his bidding. Even getting them to steal Vosk tech to try to allow him to time travel at a time he would've known it was illegal. On a discussion of his character Archer was definitely the most wreckless and flawed of the captains, which is not saying much as the other captains had very few flaws and were always "good".

Especially S3 onward. . Archer is torturing aliens for answers, raiding aliens for spaceship parts, generally overly aggressive and defiant when facing aliens.

Discovery matches the darker side with its own share of violence but even the human centric headstrong Burnham was a product of a Utopian star trek where she remained behind the same lines as Picard Janeway.

However I would say specifically Archer pushes this show over the edge to the darkest of the star treks, which isn't a dark show in comparison to other shows.

Tbh this is also the reason I like it even more than I have SNW.

Or just a fairy tale?

Any evidence?

Below you'll find a link to the fandom that says S02E06 is part 3 of 3 of the Romulan Minefield arc that began in S02E03 Minefield, where the Enterprise encounters Romulans for the first time and is damaged by their minefield.

https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Marauders_(episode)?so=search

How is this episode in continuity with that one or part of that arc? I see no trace of it.

I’m watching the whole series start to finish for the first time, so I apologize if I’m jumping the phaser here, but Archer promised the humans that had been abducted hundreds of years prior that someone would return for them and bring them back to Earth eventually. Does that ever happen? I’ve just started season 4 so I wanted to check since it seems that never got resolved

Does anyone feel like the change in the theme song for season 3 was a bit ill-timed? Season 3 seems significantly darker in tone than the first two thus far, and the jaunty feel of the new theme seems very out of tone. I’ve not finished the whole series, does it gel more later?

In the days of the NX-01, how would one become an officer?

There is no Starfleet academy, and no discussion of any person from earth attending University (apart from Archer referring to Cal, Stanford, and Texas? in Water Polo) and entering laterally through ROTC

I was watching S2 E20 "Horizon", where Travis goes back to his family ship and his mom said they were discussing his joining Starfleet 4 years prior. He had been on the ship for about a year at that point, so was he granted rank based on his experience on his family ship, or was there an OCS school?

Borne out of my current rewatch of ST:E and thinking those beautiful opening credits could stand to be paired with a song that I, personally, like better: "We Know The Way", from "Moana".

Let's get T'Pol on Strange New Worlds!

Would anybody else like to see Jolene Blalock reprise her role as T'Pol on Star Trek Strange New Worlds? I would love to see Jolene Blalock as T'Pol again. She was such a great character. I would love to see her interact with Spock. T'Pau interacted with Spock in TOS in "Amok Time' and T'Pol and T'Pau interacted in season 4 of Star Trek Enterprise. It's conceivable that T'Pol could be on Strange New Worlds. Thoughts?
