[edit] Discrepancy Explanations
[edit] Human-Klingon First Contact
In Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Spock says that, at that time (2293), the Klingons had been adversaries of the Federation (or at least humans) for 70 years. In TNG's "First Contact" set in 2367, Capt. Jean-Luc Picard states that "centuries ago, disastrous contact with the Klingon Empire led to decades of war, and it was decided then that we would do surveillance before making [first] contact." Yet in the Star Trek: Enterprise pilot "Broken Bow", we see that first contact was a full 142 years prior to Undiscovered Country. Also, many found that first contact hardly seemed to be the major disaster Picard said it was, nor would it have caused Starfleet to rethink its first contact protocols since it was a Klingon who first landed on Earth. In other words, many believe that first contact seems to have occurred differently than the way Picard said it did.
Picard also said the contact was "centuries" ago from 2367, meaning it had to happen at least two centuries prior. In this respect, the events seen in Enterprise remain true. But Spock stated conflicts began some 70 years before 2293, placing the beginning of the conflict at 2223. So there lies another contradiction.
I have a theory about all this, and I really don't think there's any contradiction at all. When Picard stated that "centuries ago, disastrous contact with the Klingon Empire led to decades of war," he meant that the numerous encounters between humans and the Federation - beginning in 2151 - ultimately led to the two powers becoming enemies in the 23rd century. In other words, after the less-than-successful First Contact seen in "Broken Bow" (unless a human farmer shooting a Klingon and then not permitting him to die a warrior's death is your idea of a successful first contact), humans and Klingons would have repeated encounters throughout the next several decades, sometimes resulting in embarrassment on the part of the Klingons. Around 2223, however, some major incident occurred and, having had enough of our meddling, the Klingons became our enemies and a tense cold war had begun between the two that would last for seventy years until the Khitomer Conference in The Undiscovered Country. To prevent similar incidents from occurring with other races, Starfleet decided to adopt a policy of covert surveillance. In other words, the surveillance policy wasn't the result of one initial encounter, but was rather the result of several failed encounters, ultimately leading to conflict in 2223. This explanation serves to confirm both Picard's and Spock's statements while also clearing Star Trek: Enterprise of any wrong-doing in this matter.
Now if only we could solve the whole cloaking technology problem...
[edit] Cloaking Technology
In various episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise, Captain Jonathan Archer and his crew had repeated encounters with races capable of cloaking their vessels in 2151 and 2152. However, dialogue from the original series episode "Balance of Terror", set 115 years later, seems to imply that cloaking technology was a new concept at that point, never before encountered by Starfleet. Well, allow me to quell that myth for you.
If memory serves me correctly, there was never any point in "Balance of Terror" that specifially said it was the first time that cloaking technology had been encountered. In that episode, Spock told Captain Kirk that "invisibility is theoretically possible, Captain -- selectively bending light. But the power cost is enormous. They may have solved that." Look at that line: "the power cost IS enormous." He stated it matter-of-factly, which means that Starfleet probably encountered it or even tested with the technology prior to 2266, in which the episode is set.
Also, remember that the cloaking technology which the likes of the Suliban and the Romulans had back in the 22nd century were likely given to them by agents from the future who were involved in the Temporal Cold War. When the war's excursions into the 22nd century came to an end in 2154, all the technology that had been given out to those races were likely extracted and databases containing any blueprints or what not were wiped clean. Starfleet most likely realized this since, after further encounters with the Romulans and possibly the Suliban, they saw that ships of their time didn't have cloaking devices following the war's "end." So, Spock's surprise in "Balance of Terror" basically indicates that no ship has ever successfully operated a cloaking device without the assistance of future technology, because "the power cost is enormous." And, as the crew soon learned, the Romulans had, indeed, solved that problem.
Also, don't forget that the NX-01 managed to acquire a method to see through the cloaks of both the Suliban ships and the Romulan mines. Although the ship could not initially see through the cloak of the Romulan Bird-of-Prey encountered in "Minefield", it is possible they managed to find a way to see through cloaked Romulan ships and thereby render their cloaks useless. This ability may have been implemented into the sensors of all future starships, which would explain Kirk and Spock's surprise at seeing a Romulan ship disappearing since their sensors should have seen through the cloak. Keep in mind, too, that the Suliban did not cloak their ships by using an invisibility screen that selectively bends light, but was rather generated by some form of particle radiation. The Romulan mines also appeared to use this method (as evidenced by the NX-01's ability to use the quantum beacon to detect them), so it's likely the Romulan ships of this time also used this method and their cloak was also penetrated. But the Bird-of-Prey encountered by Kirk's ship utilized a screen capable of selectively bending light rather than the use of particle radiation. This explains why Kirk's Enterprise was not able to detect the ship visually.
There is also the possibility that the "cloak" seen in "Minefield" was later revealed (or at least thought) NOT to be a cloak, but some other technology. For example, it was hinted in the episodes of the Babel Crisis that the Romulan ships encountered in the Romulan minefield were utilizing a form of holographic technology to render themselves invisible. Another possibility is that the Romulan ships employed some form of transporter technology to appear and disappear over a short distance. So, yeah, either one of these is possible, and it would also explain why the Enterprise could detect the cloaked Romulan mines but not the ships. So, there ya go.
Which brings us to our next problem: how the hell did the Xyrillians get their hands on this techonlogy? Well, considering that they had holographic technology as well, I think it's safe to say that it developed naturally (in which case, Spock would have been talking about the energy cost for a Romulan ship being enormous) or that it was also some form of holographic technology.
More speculation: Romulans developed cloaking technology as early as the mid-22nd century; however, their earliest cloaks were far too crude to be used aboard starships. Instead, cloaking was limited to smaller objects such as mines and missiles. After repeated failures in advancing pure invisibility cloaks, they began experimenting with holography, with minimal success. They were able to utilize holographic masking technology aboard their spacecraft, but only on sub-light patrol ships with limited functions. It was this type of ship the Enterprise encountered in 2152. The mines and the patrol ships had different types of cloaking systems: one was particle-based, the other was holographic. By the 23rd century the Romulans had either perfected or advanced the particle-based cloak for use on their ships or had discovered another form of cloaking technology which had not yet been encountered by Starfleet. Hey, it's possible. Okay, moving on.
[edit] Molly O'Brien's Age
Molly O'Brien was born in the TNG episode "Disaster", set in 2368. Yet when the character was seen the following year on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, she had already aged 3 years, and throughout the show, she remained two years older than she should have been. My only explanation for this is that Molly, along with her parents, Miles O'Brien and Keiko O'Brien, were trapped in some temporal phenomenon similar to the Nexus sometime between Molly's birth in 2368 and the family's moving to Deep Space 9 in 2369. The O'Briens remained in this "temporal nexus" for nearly two years, while time outside the nexus never changed. When they returned after what they perceived to have been two years later, they found that they had barely been gone a few seconds, or perhaps they simply returned to the point in time they vanished from; either way, the O'Briens had perceived two years to have gone by while everyone else perceived it to be a few seconds. Note that this is somewhat similar to the experience Molly went through by herself in 2374, in the episode "Time's Orphan", only the age difference the first time was permanent, and her parents wouldn't have thought of this particular incident since they were with her the first time and were able to care for her and watch her grow. This is the only plausible explanation that I can come up with, and it makes sense to me, so it's all good.
Note that this all would have happened sometime between the episodes "Power Play" and "Rascals", when Molly went from being a baby to being about three-years old. Oh, and it all happened off-screen, obviously. This means Worf, who delivered Molly, would not have had to be with the O'Briens in whatever time distortion they may have been in. Sol, like... there.
[edit] Scotty's Memory Problem
Scotty didn't believe Kirk was dead. Not for long, anyway.
Prior to Kirk's disappearance, Scotty had assisted in the rescue of several El-Aurian refugees from the clutches of the Nexus. As he was attempting to transport the El-Aurians, he noticed that their bio-signs were phasing in and out of the space-time continuum. After the El-Aurian survivors were beamed aboard, Kirk left to the ship's deflector room to make modifications which would allow the Enterprise to escape. He succeeded, but before the ship escaped, a burst of energy from the Nexus struck the ship in the area where Kirk was working. When Scotty and Captain John Harriman arrived to the destroyed deflector room, they were horrified at the sight... and saddened at the loss of Kirk. Scotty apparently believed that Kirk did not survive.
However, Kirk's body was never found, since he was swept into the Nexus. Many likely believed that he had been vaporized. But Scotty soon remembered that the El-Aurians were phasing in and out of the space-time continuum... what if the same happened to Kirk? Hearing of the euphoric experiences some of the El-Aurians had while engulfed in the Nexus, Scotty came to the conclusion that Kirk may still be alive. And up until his retirement (and possibly even after), he spent his time trying to find ways to bring Kirk back from the Nexus. Unfortunately, the energy ribbon soon left the galaxy. But he no doubt made his beliefs known to others, and thought others would do whatever was possible to bring Kirk back. This was his state-of-mind when he himself was deemed lost aboard the USS Jenolan, when he suspended himself in a transporter beam. When he was revived and heard the Enterprise had rescued him, he wondered whether Kirk himself had been rescued and had come looking for him.
Now, why would Scotty believe Kirk would have to take the Enterprise-A out of mothballs to come looking for him when the Enterprise-B was already launched? Well, Scotty likely figured that would be the course of action Kirk would have taken; even with the Enterprise-B in service, Kirk would have requested his old ship to conduct his own rescue mission. And it's very unlikely Starfleet would have denied him, especially since it wouldn't have required reassigning a commissioned ship for a potentially futile search, especially if they had already conducted their own search. Another possibility is that the unforeseen circumstances may have caused the Enterprise-B (and possibly all Excelsior class vessels) to be temporarily decommissioned prior to Scotty's disappearance. There are several other possibilities as to why Scotty believed his old Enterprise would have been the rescue ship -- you just have to think about it.
Another possible (and very likely) explanation by Nitpicker's Guide writer Phil Ferrand was related to me by MA user T smitts. See my talk page to read it for yourself.
[edit] Romulan Foreheads
Star Trek: Enterprise managed to explain the physical differences between the Klingons seen on the original series and those seen afterwards with the creation of the Klingon augment virus in the episodes "Affliction" and "Divergence". At the same time, however, Enterprise managed to create another mystery regarding an alien race's physical features when they chose to give the Romulans of the 22nd century the forehead ridges which were present on Romulans in the 24th century, but not in the 23rd. Before assuming there must have also been a "Romulan augment virus," give me the chance to try and clear up this apparent discrepancy.
The most likely explanation is one that was hinted to at the end of the episode "Kir'Shara", in which it was revealed that V'Las was under the thumb of the Romulan Star Empire. V'Las was working with the Romulans in an early attempt to reunify the Vulcan and Romulan people. As we know, however, such attempts had not succeeded by the 24th century, when Spock was striving for the same goal using more noble methods. It is my belief that Vulcans like V'Las who wished for reunification between the two cultures ultimately left the Vulcan homeworld to join with the Romulan Empire, and it was their descendants whom Kirk would encounter in the form of the Romulan commanders in "Balance of Terror" and "The Enterprise Incident". Basically, the smooth-headed Romulans encountered during Kirk's era were not from the group who separated from the Vulcans some 2,000 years prior but were actually from a group who deserted Vulcan teachings in the 2150s, possibly due to the drastic social and religious changes as a result of the discovery of the Kir'Shara. Over the next century, these separatist Vulcans would serve the Romulan Empire. This serves to explain why the two Romulan commanders and the centurion seen on TOS lacked the bumpy foreheads that were present on the Romulans during the 22nd and 24th centuries.
[edit] The First Starship Enterprise?
Many believe that the existence of the NX-01 Enterprise contradicts canon because the NCC-1701 was named the first Starship Enterprise. There is no contradiction, however, since the NX-01 was never officially designated a starship. Although many referred to it as such, you can see on the ship's dedication plaque that it's official designation is "spacecraft", not "starship". Therefore, even with the existence of the NX-01, the NCC-1701 is still the first official Starship to bear the name Enterprise. In addition, keep in mind that the NCC-1701 was the first Starship to bear the name USS Enterprise. The NX-01 did not have the USS designation.
[edit] My Take on Star Trek: Enterprise
Call me crazy, but I loved Enterprise. Yes, the writers and producers did make a few mistakes. Yes, some episodes were pretty poorly done. But every television series has their dull moments and their less-than-prideful moments. (Anybody remember "Spock's Brain"? How about "Profit and Lace"?) That doesn't mean the series, as a whole, was bad. Quite possibly the hardest type of show to write for is a franchise show with an already-established fanbase, such as Star Trek. After eighteen straight years of new episodes, it becomes more and more difficult to write material which the viewers have not only never seen before, but which they will also find engaging. This was the problem the writers faced when they created Enterprise. By taking us backwards in time before the days of Picard and Kirk, they found themselves walking a tight rope in which one wrong step would end everything. On the one hand, they had to maintain familiarity with the fans while also maintaining consistency with some 500 episodes of continuity and, more importantly, the optimistic vision set forth by Gene Roddenberry. On the other hand, they also had to create a show that was fresh and original and would invite old as well as new viewers to watch. If they failed in any one of those goals, it would cost them - and, as we all know, it did. But while Enterprise was far from a perfect show, it was also far from a terrible one. The series still offered some of the best hours of television Trek has ever seen, including "Broken Bow", "The Andorian Incident", "Shuttlepod One", "Shockwave", "Minefield", "Dead Stop", "Cease Fire", "Cogenitor", "Regeneration", "The Expanse", "Twilight", "Similitude", "Proving Ground", "Azati Prime", "The Council", "Zero Hour", "Borderland", "Cold Station 12", "The Augments", "The Forge", "Awakening", "Kir'Shara", "Babel One", "United", "The Aenar" and, of course, "In a Mirror, Darkly". It's funny how most people prefer to remember all the "mistakes" the show made and forget the good shows they had. (For the record, the only really bad shows created that you might want to stay away from are "Terra Nova", "Oasis", "A Night in Sickbay", "Marauders", "Vanishing Point", "Precious Cargo", "Horizon", "Extinction", "Exile", and "E²". "Two Days and Two Nights" also wasn't very good, but John Billingsley's hilarious performance and the continuation of events from "Detained" helped to save it a bit. I also wasn't a fan of "Acquisition" at first, but it's kinda grown on me since then.)
Oh, and for all those people who keep saying Berman & Braga screwed with the timeline and created many inconsistencies... first of all, it's only a damn TV show. Secondly, instead of whining and complaining about how the timeline has been ruined, how about trying to think up ways to explain these apparent inconsistencies? And lastly, why the hell are you treating Enterprise as if it's the only Trek series to contradict other shows? Every Trek series and film contradicts something from another Trek series or film. Yet Enterprise is suddenly the guilty party? I don't think so. As I said, if there is a contradiction, try coming up with a possible explanation for it, as I have done for some cases on my subpage, rather than b**ching about it.
As for the series finale, "These Are the Voyages..." yes, I was a bit disappointed, particularly with Tucker's death and the lack of characterization. But I still believe it was a good episode overall. In fact, it kinda grows on you after repeated viewings.
Anyways, I currently have Season 5 all planned out in my head. Sadly, we will most likely never see it happen.
