Best answer yet!!

Lol.

“And make her clothes tighter, and add more ‘decontaminating gel’ scenes”

{Slaps head} Why didn't I see that?

Honestly never thought of it that way, but you're spot-on

Didn't this video have enough Quantum Leap references already?

Enterprise/ Quantum leap crossover.

And Al Calavicci's role is to run an allegory to the Japanese internment camps and interrogate Sam, I mean Captain Archer, about his previous encounters with the Suliban. Ziggy says there's a 100 percent chance the temporal cold war was a waste of time.

Loved how Steve slipped that in! All the Quantum Leap references were Mint! But Nazi's in the White House too soon.. Pure Gold!

Oh, boy...

Is it the same actor as Weyoun in ds9?

The literal only saving grace of enterprise. That and scott bakula, he's always a win

Archer pulling the mask off Future Guy demanding to know Who Is Number 1, finding out that it's himself, and a closing involving travelling down a motorway in a truck to Dry Bones?

Something, something, all-Bakula fist-fight.

Discovering he was future guy would lead him down the path of becoming future guy, heh.

If that's true then it must have been scrapped before season 3 started because that's when "These are the Voyages" was written as the "perfect" series finale for any situation the show finds itself in when it's canceled (or so the rumors go).

I was under the impression Bragg was joking

Temporal Stealth Technology! 👍

didn't Archer believe Daniels a bit to quickly?

So, so, so agree. They could of just done TNG ST for a bit but emphasising the difference between early earth explorers compared to experienced federation explorers, with the overall arc covering Vulcan/Andorian/Tellerite tensions leading to the Romulan war - *maybe* then some kind of brief time travel arc (done well) - maybe get S31 involved (maybe they have been using future knowledge to help “protect” the federation). I wanted to see all trials they all must have faced to build a brand new, practically human led, Galactic superpower.

Totally. Although the enemy in question would probably be the Romulans.

Amen!

In Dr. Who, you cannot keep recrossing your own timeline! It'll f up the timeline...😝

@@nathanieldaiken1064 which is why he conveniently comes to Earth in the present day lol

They actually had an episode like his in TNG. I think it involves some guy from 22nd century New Jersey that got a hold of future starlfleet shuttle with the capacity of time travel that used it to steal stuff from his future to sell back to his 22nd time. Pretending to be some kind of Archaeologist (if I remember correctly) traveled to the 24tj century and tried to steal stuff from the Enterprise, including LT Data, but he was outsmarted by Data and they arrested him.

Well that saves me the trouble of telling Steve ;)

everything i hear about the stories in STO make me want to play it. is the gameplay any good?

@@caml1720 It’s actually pretty fun earlier on. However, in the later levels, the enemies so are much more powerful you are unless you commit to ridiculous levels of grinding or just spend money that it becomes an extremely frustrating experience at times. Still, it’s free, so there’s really no harm in trying it out

@@a.morphous66 Yes and no. You can still get free stuff but only to T6 level, the only thing that you need to pay for is Legendary series and in my opinion this is what is killing the fun and the game today. I have Legendary dreadnought or Galxy-X but some skins and perks are unavailable until you get Legendary Galaxy or Legendary 10th year anniversary bundle which are very expensive..., not to mention that you can't get them via exchange. Also the Legendary series is vastly superior to even Lock box/Lobbi series ships. I do have some of them, and they are no match for Legendary series at all be in terms of consoles, stations or even perks/traits available for them.

I want a Temporal Cold War "Long Trek" directed by Chris Nolan or The Daniels. Make it so disorienting and confusing that you need a PhD in Applied Mathematics to untangle the plotlines across the various timelines. Then we can put this whole timey-wimey nonsense to rest. Which is one of the things _I love most_ about Discovery S03-04-that time travel is *completely* off the table.

(big reveal) And he would have gotten away with it, if it hadn't been for those meddling kids!

Ooooohhhhh, boy!

Honestly, I liked that idea more than how Star Trek Online handled it...

It's Berman and Braga. I don't think it making sense was very high on their list of priorities.

This is where the "Federation" and the "Terran Empire" Diverge. The Alternate reality becomes an Alternate reality instead of actuality. Nailed it.

Detroit has more hookers… 💃🏽🕺🏾🤷🏾‍♂️

I've always liked the idea, but have never been able to head canon a way that gives a satisfactory explanation as to how and why. I obviously would have loved to see what the writers could have come up with, but even if that was the plan it seems like it would have been a difficult task to bring it all together in a conclusive way that made sense. Either way, it's hard to imagine it wouldn't have been better than what we got, even if it wasn't perfect.

why they could have done a true crossover the future man is Sam Beckett in Archer's body. Perfect match since the are the "same person" :).

The Jedi consider Death to be a quaint concept.

Trip & T'Pol are the best things about that show, cheesy or not! I agree with you completely on this point!

I wanted to see the development of shield technology. My head canon is that Trip had a lot to do with taking existing shield technology (from the Andorians) and tweaking it to the point where "Starfleet shields" became a major breakthrough in technology.

If they were going to use transporters, they could have at least included a case of transporter psychosis.

I'm still amused by the fact the stated justification for doing a prequel rather than literally anything else was that Trek had become too reliant on technobabble (Which... Fair, it had), and somehow Enterprise was worse for technobabble than Voyager. Almost as if the problem leading to an obsession with technobabble wasn't the time period but the writing philosophy being employed, or something. And since this wasn't an issue on DS9 but was starting to creep in towards the end of TNG and really became a major one during Voyager... Maybe the issue is the folk at the top that TNG and Voyager had in common but was a step or two removed from DS9? Meanwhile, if you wanted to do a _different_ Star Trek series at that point, there were a billion ways of doing so. Off the top of my head - Set it on a foundational Federation colony rather than a space ship or space station; put it on one of those medical ships the final episode of TNG depicted would become a thing and make the show mainly about figuring out medical mysteries; put it on a Klingon or Romulan ship, or if that's too drastic, a Star Fleet ship that isn't majority human; make it a Section 31 show; put it far enough into the future that you can use one of the time ships Voyager occasionally interacted with and make it primarily a time travel show; make it a sit-com set at Star Fleet Academy... Enterprise, to me, felt like 'Same old Trek that's been the premier form of Trek for the past 14 years between TNG and Voyager, but with a submarine aesthetics, occasional tension depicted between humans and Vulcans, and a few different sci-fi sounding terms for the same stuff'

I seem to remember they had episodes about transporter malfunctions, but I guess every iteration had those.

I've never watched enterprise, but I've seen first contact, and a welll constructed show exploring the transition from the first faster than light flight and first contact with the vulcans towards the TOS status quo sounds like a blast - but that requires a focus and dedication to an evolving status quo - something beyond even DS9.

Is the Star Trek: Discovery Sphere supposed to be a Spherebuilder artefact?

@@alanpennie8013 pretty sure it is not.

When all storylines fail, time travel always fills the void.

Highly unlikely; time travel is a terrible storytelling technique. It is almost always done poorly, leading to potholes galore.

All this time travel stuff only effect was to give Captain Kirk's crew that swinging 60's look. That's why TOS has that 60's look. Every other Trek does not have that " look".

Year of hell from Voyager makes my number one Spot. Could be a whole season or at least a good multi episode arc

To quote Janeway, "Time travel always gives me headaches!"

I think they're arguably the best. Deep Space Nine and enterprise are the darkest of the star trek shows

I knew I wasn’t the only one! I only needed one person to share my opinion to feel completely vindicated.

Don't worry, you're not entirely alone haha. I enjoyed it as well, but agree with Steve (and the general consensus) that the pay off was extremely disappointing. In fact I would argue people that weren't invested in it probably cared less than we did since they didn't care as much about how it would be resolved. Regardless, season 3 still gave us the Xindi arc which did have a good conclusion and was one of the best seasons in all of Trek imo so there's that at least.

It is a shame they didn't get at least two more seasons to really establish itself. Season 4 definitely had some great material and it felt like they finally figured out the show when it got cancelled.

Not quite the only one... 🙋🏻

And whenever anything goes wrong, why not just fly around the Sun or whatever and go back in time and fix it? I think it was a big mistake introducing time travel, into the past, into the franchise.

The Tripp/T'pol thing was great! That her mom sorta approved (on the sly!) was a bonus!

also first ^^

The problem was that it was introduced before it was planned out what it was actually supposed to be about. Compare that to the Babylon 4 subplot from Babylon 5 that worked out as well as a time travel story can possibly work.

The movie "Tenet" has some of that, though it's not a central focus.

The problem is that prequels are a bit like time travel themselves. After viewing a "current" event, you're now traveling to the past to view an earlier event. Like any time travel story, you need it properly planned out to avoid paradoxes. It's not easy, but it can be rewarding if done right.

It should've been more subtle. Like if you mess with the timelines, Enterprise might not even exist in Archer's time!

There has been no evidence connecting the two

I was wondering that too.

Star Trek Online generally do the storylines well. Though some might say there are a bit to much Fan service. With them trying to connect all things to stuff that happened in the shows. Still, I like it. It is the MMO I have kept playing for the longest.
