Defiant - you will stop your arguments and childish behaviour now.

I'll be waiting for the apology. You should really check things out before mouthing of Pem

If you think your still right then I can prove my point very easily

So what do you think they COULD have come up with if they had continued from Voyager onwards.

I rather liked the idea of going through with another of the ST races like the Klingons or the Romulans.

OR IF they must keep on with the time travel stories and follow the organisation that tries to prevent timeslips in the ST future.

I think they could have done something along the lines of the Voyager Elite force games maybe....

I like the Idea of the time travel organisation (I know there is one in the federation - but for the life of me I can't remember what it is).

Maybe it should just stop and they could do a tv movie each year (like alien nation did for a while)

There was the Department of Temporal Investigations in DS9, but if you are thinking of the Federation timeships those aren`t going to be around until the 29th century.

Would that not be dangerously close to Quantum Leap?

Or you could explore the bad side of the federation - what was that lot that tried to get Dr Bashir in DS9?

Section13?

Well leaping forward to the 29th century would be ok.It's not as if they could spoil any continuity anyway.They are in charge of correcting time slips after all.

Well they did that already by taking Archer back and forwards through time.

Close, it was Section 31, you're probably thinking of Bureau 13 in Babylon 5.

Have you seen this?

There is a trailer for download. It has to be one of the funniest things i've seen in quite a while.

But a whole series of that would be pushing it a little bit too far.

That's the one - and that's why also - I just finished watching my 3 box sets of b5 (get paid next week so I can get season 4 then )

A section 31 show, they could have their own ship with the cloak from the pegasus - now that would be nice.

Well can you think of anything else?

There are only so many ways you can tell the same story. I think Star Trek used up most of these during TNG.

Sure there are a few new ideas - but not that many.

The trouble with Enterprise is that they SHOULD ( not that they do all/most the time) be considering the existing story and canon.

So - while I'm looking forward to season 4 - I'm not sure any more if it will be better than the first three. Although I guess season 3 was better than the first 2.

I find I enjoy it a lot more if I watch it on its merits & don't compare it too much with previous incarnations.

I agree series 3 has been the best so far. My main criticism is that as, someone has already said, they have messed around too much with the time travel element of the story. Some of the plot twists due to this have complicated the story, rather than moved it forward, in my opinion.

As a prequel series, the concept that it has to 'fit' with it's successors, is assumed, so I suppose, in a way, time travel is an understandable tool for the writers to use, to 'play' with the constraint. I just find the 'alternate reality' treatment of altered timelines a bit facile, sometimes.

Long before it had been suggested on this board I'd been advocating a Klingon or Romulan series. Another (albeit not original) option would be to go for a series set on the Excelsior with Sulu.

I have other ideas, but I won`t share them here in case I ever get organised enough to finally commit them to paper.
