[quoteost_uid0="PointyHairedJedi"][color=#000000ost_uid0]Well, we haven't seen anything to suggest it in [iost_uid0]Enterprise[/iost_uid0] so far[/colorost_uid0][/quoteost_uid0]
[color=#000000ost_uid0]Not counting the fact that the Klingons have been overtly hostile every time we've seen them?

::glare:: Laugh all you want now - just wait until I collect a few more boxtops, then I'm going to send all 350 of them in and get so much neat stuff, it'll make your head spin. Screen upgrades, and torpedoes, and better transporters, and formal stationery, and even a copy of "T'Bak's Greatest Hits". (Hoshi hates her music, so I can just pop in the tape whenever I want her to leave the bridge so me and the other guys can discuss manly stuff.) We'll be upgraded to a "Bucket of Supreme Coolness"! We'll see who laughs then!

Or actually, I might get one of those official World Water Polo Association regulation size balls instead. Those are really cool. I haven't decided yet.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0="PointyHairedJedi"]I'm just making the point that the war had more effect than just "a relatively unimportant Picard line", including the various episodes connected with the [iost_uid0]Enterprise-C[/iost_uid0].[/quoteost_uid0]
Actually, we should go back to the first appearance of the Klingons, which is TOS's "Errand of Mercy". In it we hear that relations with the Klingons were "breaking down", suggesting that they had some sort of peace or something. Based on that my understand of canon (excluding ENT for now) is:

Bad FC with Klingons, results in war
Fragile peace is reached at some point.
In "Errand of Mercy" (TOS) peace breaks down and species are hostile to each other.
In "The Enterprise Incident" (TOS) we learn that the Romulans and Klingons seem to be pals.
Romulans and Klingons obviously break up at some point.
Klingons and Federation bring some of their hostilities to an end in ST6 leading to some sort of understanding.
Presumably the Federation and Klingons become allies at some point after the ENT-C incident.
The treaty is dissolved during DS9's run, and later renewed also during its run.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Eureka! I've got it!

The Klingons must end up destroying the '[iost_uid0]dinghy[/iost_uid0] of suckitude', and at the same time all Starfleet records of the [iost_uid0]Enterprise[/iost_uid0] and it's crew are completely erased in a freak accident that happened as a result of somebody trying to upload an ancient piece of software (which had mysterious markings on it which were later translated as 'Windows 98' ). And of course the Vulcan Science Directorate then conclude that the existence of such a ship was impossible anyway and dismiss the whole thing as a myth. That would get around just about every continuity violation that we've seen so far (and the ones they've yet to come up with).

In all probability we'll just see more of the 'temporal cold war' dren that they've been pedalling so far.

Edit: I've just seen that 'Archer' post, and I have only one word in reply - weenie.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I wonder if anyone here can guess who "Captain Archer"'s secret identity is. I know, but I ain't talkin'.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Tricky. It's *not* ThingsAreGood, unless he's being weird and quoting his own post. I don't think it's NAH either. Too much good grammer/punctuation. No offence, of course. hehe. I'd say Saxamaphone if he was around more.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Ooo, this is like that lounge contest over at TrekBBS, huh? Except nobody dies.

I'm inclined to say it's Zuke (since Zeke was intrigued by the idea of his return). Or, maybe it's whoever's messing with the server right now? :S Because it's taking a long time just to go back a page or two. I mean, as in using the Back button to return to a page that was fully loaded previously. And only just now am I seeing a few smilies for use (5 to be exact--wait, there's a few more. Good thing I can just type them in. )

(Edit) Upon further review, I don't think it was the real Captain Archer. Too...er...literate, some word like that. That trait seems to imply more strongly that it was Porthos. But I don't think Porthos cares for water polo all that much, does he she erm, Porthos? Cheese is more Porthos's style. So it probably wasn't Porthos either. And definitely not the...[whispers][color=grayost_uid0]CJP[/colorost_uid0][/whispers].[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Heh, somehow I always knew they were gonna bring the borg into this. There are a lot of ways Star Trek could keep continuity. It is the temporal cold war, after all. Just let the time-travel police from some century prevent the borg from ever meeting the Enterprise crew. Or some other time-travel thing.

I wouldn't be surprised if the writers are gonna use the Q too. He is the one that introduced the borg to the federation after all. And he has the ability to make everyone forget if he wants to. [/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]What will [iost_uid0]Enterprise[/iost_uid0] do in the future to boost ratings? Three words:

[quoteost_uid0="Zeke"][color=#000000ost_uid0]Yes, you will. In fact, you'll put "spoilers" if you're even THINKING about spoilers as you type the post.

Hey! You just thought about another one, didn't you? Type "spoilers"! Type it now! NOW![/colorost_uid0][/quoteost_uid0]
