The Xindi Paradox
The Xindi Paradox
Ok....the Xindi storyline always confused me. In the origianal timeline, Earth WASN'T attacked by the Xindi right? The sphere builders went back in time to get the Xindi to destroy humanity, guaranteeing their victory later. So, after Archer and Danials had they're little chat and Danials said the timeline was restoring itself, should the all the the events from Season 3 have been removed from the timeline? After all, if the Xindi hadn't attacked Earth, then Enterprise would have never been sent into the expanse...yada, yada, yada. Am I right, or am I missing someting?

Re: The Xindi Paradox
I think when the timeline was being fixed, from the damage done by the alien Nazis, not the entire timeline in general.
Re: The Xindi Paradox
I don't think so, he specifically says the Temporal Cold War is over so I'd say everything was fixed... now if only we could write S 1 & 2 out... now then it would have been a perfect ep...Blackstar the Chakat wrote:I think when the timeline was being fixed, from the damage done by the alien Nazis, not the entire timeline in general.

Re: The Xindi Paradox
So wipe out the first three seasons? That would suck. I mean seasons one and two weren't anything special but they were better then a lot of older trek. And season three was just outright awesome.KuvahMagh wrote:I don't think so, he specifically says the Temporal Cold War is over so I'd say everything was fixed... now if only we could write S 1 & 2 out... now then it would have been a perfect ep...Blackstar the Chakat wrote:I think when the timeline was being fixed, from the damage done by the alien Nazis, not the entire timeline in general.

Re: The Xindi Paradox
I just chalk it up to the eps in question having shown the events that occurred before the timeline was repaired.

Re: The Xindi Paradox
Yeah but the whole reason they went into the Expanse for S3 was due to the Temporal Cold War and the Sphere Builders so if that is reset they wouldn't have gone in... of course then they wouldn't have defeated the space nazis, destroyed their machine and reset the timeline...Mikey wrote:I just chalk it up to the eps in question having shown the events that occurred before the timeline was repaired.

Re: The Xindi Paradox
So, in the original time line we saw depicted in TOS (at least i'm guessing that was the original timeline) the Expanse what still there, reletively close to Earth and Vulcan? Again, Enterprise writers forgetting that they are writing in an already established universe, not making up there own.
And don't even get me started on space nazis

Re: The Xindi Paradox
I think that some part of that resetting rest all of S1-3, I mean think about those seasons, the Ferengi... the Borg... Romulans with Cloaks and Cloaking Mines... Evil Vulcans... not to mention the other not so prominent but still present continuity mistakes... now if only we could change the design of the ship...Mark wrote:So, in the original time line we saw depicted in TOS (at least i'm guessing that was the original timeline) the Expanse what still there, reletively close to Earth and Vulcan?

Re: The Xindi Paradox
Crap... That was bad... especially the remote ability... They shouldn't even be able to communicate in Real Time Audio over those distances yet they had real time control of this thing... which as you mentioned could use Holographic Imaging so sophisticated that it wouldn't be in use 300 years later...Mark wrote:One could only hope so......until the Romulans came up the holo disguise ship.KuvahMagh wrote:I think that some part of that resetting rest all of S1-3, I mean think about those seasons, the Ferengi... the Borg...

Re: The Xindi Paradox
That is highly debateable. TOS in general was much better than Enterprise, and despite seasons one and two of TNG and seasons one and two of DS9, both those shows were far superior. Even Voyager had much better episodes in general than Enterprise.Blackstar the Chakat wrote:So wipe out the first three seasons? That would suck.

And TOS, TNG and DS9 also had far more interesting and likeable characters than Enterprise as well.
So if the entire season got wiped out not many people would shed any tears. At least TNG and DS9 got decent finale episodes, too.

Re: The Xindi Paradox
Don't bother trying to point out the obvious - it's only Blackstar. He's been trying to convince people of Enterprise's superiority for months, we've been trying to cure him. No success on either side.katefan wrote:That is highly debateable.

Re: The Xindi Paradox
The whole idea of the Xindi annoyed me. Its like they finall realised they needed to do something different but went to far.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Re: The Xindi Paradox
Agreed. It's just way too implausable that we never heard about them at all in any other Trek series. Particularly with the whole, you know, trying to blow up Earth thing.
