Yeah, the timeline screw-ups are so obvious that you can tell that the
writers don't even care- this was particularly annoying when they ran
into the cloaked Romulan ships and mines; the Romulans weren't supposed
to have developed cloaking technology till after the Romulan-Federation
war, which is still well in the future of ST Enterprise's date.

And which became the inspiration for the medical starship Pasteur in the
two-part ST-TNG finale- "All Good Things".

Yeah, and TNG did that bit at least twice, that I can recall. The one
where Data & Picard return to 1701D and find the crew devolved, and
the one where Geordi goes through his devolving, mimmicing an old
landing party he was on.

Haven't seen the mandatory Enterprise 'wacky fun with DNA' episode
yet, but that Geordi episode ("Identity Crisis") has one of the
creepiest scenes ever filmed for Trek... the one where Geordi
discovers the invisible alien in the recording from years before.

Could have been worse- according to Voyager, in 10 millions years we turn
into salamanders.

I've heard of typecasting, but type*directing*? :-P

You know... On a serious note, not really. If I were interested in
her ( Or, any particular woman ), sexually, then that small amount
of contact would be both frustrating and pointless.

Then again, having not been in a strip bar, aside for my batchelor
party ( The best part of the whole marriage... :-( ), since I hit
18 ( Sorry, OM, I know that encouraging such doesn't help one part
of your bottom line. :-) ), the idea of, in effect, being allowed
to *look* at the food in a restaurant, but not to actually have
any of it... while paying 4 star rates for the "privilige"...

Pass.

Sometimes wanting something is better than getting it.

I've heard that. Its insane, and wrong, of course.

Just ask the average married man.

Well, I've been one of those...

The thrill of the chase is fun.

Not the way it's presently organised, its not.

Once your married it becomes a business

Only if you marry the equivalent of a hooker...

before your married you find reaons to be together, after your married
you find reasons to be apart

In general, thats far more true among women, then among men. See
Sanford Braver " Divorced Dads; Shattering The Myths ", especially
Chapter 7 " Who Leaves... And, Why It Matters ".

Need I say more???

Nope. I know this topic all too well, already.

Indeed. Plus, you were left with the distinct notion that the Earth-
Romulan War was the first time, or very close to it, that Earth knew
of the Romulans, their ships, their appearance, and so on.

How did you get this? Nothing in Spock's brief summery to the crew ever
indicated exactly when Earth made contact with the Romulans, nor exactly
when the war started, nor the exactly when it came to an end. It's at best
an implication that the Earth-Romulan war was the first time Humans had
encountered Romulans, but it is also just as probable there was some prior
contact which led up to the conflict.

Now, we move that back 90+ years ? Puh-lease !

Move what back? The Earth-Romulan war was said to have occured over 100
years prior to "Balance of Terror". Having a first contact in 2151
is about right right, with the war following a few years later.
