Most gushers assured the world that TPTB would never turn to the borg, and lo and behold they did. It's not that the episode was terrible, but rather it was something we didn't need to see. Completely irrelevant to the premise, and answering no questions which it didn't pose itself. That's not the main one though. Has anybody been following Braga's interviews lately? Here's a quote from one: [quote ![]() ![]() Correct me if I'm wrong, but we've seen the Romulans once on the show, and it was a strong episode, cloaking issues aside (I kid). Essentially, the producers are perfectly willing to utilize a species which has been done to death before and has no place in this timeframe at all. Yet when they contemplate using a race which plays a critical role in this century and has been used sparingly on all other series, they decide instead to "keep pushing the boundaries". Oh yeah, and the Romulans were first introduced 37 years ago, not 15; but that's small stuff ![]() Braga's new direction is a new catsuit and hairstyle for T'Pol, and [i ![]() ![]() There's a post in the Enterprise section of the TrekBBS where an individual heard some comments from Braga at a convention.

Feel free to disagree, but I hope I at least raised some questions.

It's the Night of the Living Post!
I just had to respond to: "Sure, we could have made it the Romulans that attacked Earth. But haven't we seen the Romulans for the past 15 years? Do we really just want to keep seeing the Romulans?" YES! I want to see Romulans! I would've been tickled pink to see an actual Romulan-Earth war. You know, the one that we know occured in the past and established the Neutral Zone? A Romulan infiltrating the Enterprise impersonating a Vulcan.

Whoa. Lo and behold, the Xindi made... how many appearances in Season Four?
IJDGAF has an IJDGIFT. LOLZ all around! (I am so damned tired from that OotP premiere. Gah.)

Where have all the dolphins gone? Long time passing?
Where have all the dolphins gone? Long time ago? Is this joke as obscure as I think it is?

Oh, and there IS a connection. It's just really disjointed.

I have no idea what that joke was supposed to be. None at all. It's all Vogon to me now.

He's saying Pete Seeger is a Xindi.
Or something. I don't expect Nate to make sense, really -- it's just a bad idea.

Well, let's try to reconstruct it backwards. The final joke is a combination of dolphins/h2g2 and Bob Dylan. Then...
Oh, dash it all. Probably I was just remarking that people shouldn't obsess about things being postponed, because they'll be yesterdays news/obsolete/hackneyed soon enough anyway.

I presume that you rest your case that expecting me to make sense is a waste of time.
