Familiar faces anew
By cgrest

I like the idea of Enterprise using somebody like Spiner or Shatner to represent the ancestor of their characters. However, the writing crew needs to be careful not to overdo this idea. Fans as a whole won't respect that kind of writing, and its just too much of a marketing ploy. TNG did this with brilliance. McCoy's appearance was a fantastic moment for the premier episode; Spocks episode was clever, and fit in well with the 25th anniv. and the releasoe of Trek VI (again, a marketing ploy); Scotty's was just a fun episode.

The one I like best though was Sarek. His two TNG appearances were by far the best because he wasn't a character that made the original series. But rather he was an important element. It would be really cool (if the math works) to see a young Sarek on ENT before he became the wise ambassador, and what/who lead him to that role with the Federation. That kind of setup, if done carefully, would probably reap more interest and credibility than most.
