Re: ENT - The Romulan War
I personally like the Starfleet Museum approach to the 22nd century. However it still does not explain how the Big Three (Humans eventually Federation, Klingons and Romulans) have a similar level of technology on that website. Vulcans supposedly has been exploring space for the past 2,000 years and then poof humans are on scene technology accelerates at a faster pace.Atekimogus wrote:After dismissing the whole first season, forgetting about canon and rewatching the show years later I find myself really liking most of it and liking the characters but the one thing I positivly hated and still hate is that it reeks of human inferiority complex.JudgeKing wrote: In files de-classified in the early 25th century, it was revealed that Tucker had been recruited by the rogue spy agency known to some as Section 31 to infiltrate the space of the Romulan Star Empire and sabotage the Romulans research into developing a Warp-7 stardrive.
All aliens are physically and mentaly superior to human. All alien technology is superior to human technology. Altough those books are not canon I find it quite staggering that the romulans - who are supposed to lag behind in propulsion technology and are still running on "impulse power" during TOS times are suddenly supposed to develop a warp 7 drive. I mean didn't one starfleet admiral say that the romulans only were a bunch of terrorists before they aquired, developed warp drive and became an empire? Wouldn't say that if they were already miles ahead of human tech when we took our first steps into space now, would he?
I really like the ENT-crew (and if watched in the german synchronisation I dont even have to suffer tuckers accent) but one could really feel sorry for the whole human race IU. How they ever achieved anything at all remains a mystery to me.
I would like a mixture of both ENT and Starfleet Museum. Humans are new on the scene inferior to most races in terms of technology, and it wasn't until the Romulan War that caused the humans to rival or exceed the other powers.

Re: ENT - The Romulan War
I too like the starfleet museum, I only have two objections the first beeing that most of the ships - altough completley logically designed - are butt-ugly and the second one that there are SO many shipclasses even during one era. There isn't anything wrong with it but since spaceships seem to be incredibly expensive I don't see having so many ship classes that early. Only in later trek do we see so many different classes often seemingly performing the same role, I can't see that working for the early years.
I like more the ditl approach of the mass produced deadalus for the romulan war.

Re: ENT - The Romulan War
To be fair, the Earth ships are based off of a single hull. It wasn't until the advent of the antimatter driven vessels did we start to see numerous different designs, but that could be chalked up to combined resources of the pre-Federation alliance. Post war, I don't have a problem with. It's not like they have a 5,000 ships in 2161.

Re: ENT - The Romulan War
Well, I have the special ability to watch something even craptasic movies and even enjoy it. I go in and expect something out of it, and if it reaches that, then I am happy. In other words, yes there are quite a few episodes that are offensive to my eyes, but for the most part I enjoyed it. I enjoyed Season 3 because it was different from the rest of Star Trek. I liked the whole Xindi arc. Though I cannot fathom why end the season with a Space Nazi season ender...Lighthawk wrote:Now that's math I'll show my work for.Cpl Kendall wrote:The enjoyment of ENT is directly proportional to what angle you are viewing T'Pol at...
I don't mind the ship either. It is obvious that it's a ripoff from the Akira and someone could have changed the design a little bit to make better sense of it.
