Well, when I said the Enterprise will destory the Xindi, I didn't mean in a bloodbath - that would be very silly and unrealistic (aka: Voyager vs. the Borg).

Which VOY ep do they destroy the Borg in a bloodbath?

Quote:

However, I would enjoy seeing them destory the Xindi as a result of destorying the Spheres, to try and destory the Expanse, to try and return home (in that typically irrational human way of plowing through anything in your path).

It is obvious that the network of spheres will be destroyed or the show will shift timeframes because there is no such network of spheres in later series.

To me, it would be much more interesting if they made a peaceful resolution with the Xindi and then wiped them out in a "whoops" type of way, to make humans a little more thoughtful of their effects on other race's life, thus beginning a need for the Prime Directive.

Why a "whoops"? There was supposedly a "whoops" in ENT "Shockwave I & II", although it turned out to be Suliban-generated.

I think this would be fun and promote continuity while giving people (both viewers and characters) something to think about in the end. Of course, very seldom do things work out exactly as you want them to, so I agree that this will probably not happen! :) I also agree that Berman and Braga should be kept far away from writing, but I think as Producers they're o.k.. I agree that they could do better, but I think they could do a lot worse as well! Thanks for your feedback!

Right now as it stands, they started something with this arc that is like playing with fire and will need to do some very creative writing in order to get out of it in a meaningful way.

"I think the show talked to people through the characters. They're stories that speak to the heart. They talk about love, they talk about friendship, they talk about loyalty, they talk about patriotism, exploration, curiosity, reaching out... And I think all those things still touch people. Even when you look at a 30-year old show, it still has something to say." - D.C. Fontana, Sci Fi Channel Special Edition TOS 1998

"If the season finale involves the re-built USS Reliant coming back in time to the 21st Century crewed by Moogie, Dr. Selar, Morn, Transporter Chief Kyle, and the Salt Vampire, then we'll know that Coto has gone too far." - tomba1701
