Carnifex Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Did they ever explain who the figure from the future, that the Suliban were receiving their instructions from, was? I must have missed the relevent episodes because that whole arc seemed to die like a damp sqib, I don't remembering it having a satisfactory (or any for that matter) ending.

Steveo Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I don't recall - I am, however, currently re-watching enterprise and will post if I see anything. I thought he/she/it was just Suliban from the future, but I assume you're looking for something more specific than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superman9595 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Probably a romulan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Nope. This was one of the huge letdowns of Season 4, and Ent ingeneral. Not just a run of the mill inconsistancey either, it's like not revealing who really was pulling the strings behind the Duras Sisters on the Romulan side of things.

JoeTownJoe Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Mav is correct. I just rewatched the entire series, stem to stern and no mention of it comes up. Friends of mine have speculated that it did not matter, since the future was so quickly changed. Sort of an 'Expendable Ensign' from the future if you will.

holly18 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 ...ahem... that's "Duras sisters". Dukat was a Cardassian. I assumed the mystery man would turn out to be Romulan simply because no human ever met him in Enterprise. This would fit with the history of Kirk being the first human to see a Romulan (played by Mark Lenard - but that's another story). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 ...ahem... that's "Duras sisters". Dukat was a Cardassian. aw come on, can't we just imagine Gul Dukat had a couple of rough n tough sisters who wanted control of the Cardassian Military? No? Ok damn typos :( Dukat, Duras, close enough both are alien ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Berman and Braga - to cement their place in the hearts of Trek fans everywhere - have gone on record as saying they never really thought out the Temporal Cold War, pretty much pulled it out of their ass when required and never had an identity for Generic Mysterious Time Meddler #23. Funny really, you'd think that after four years they'd have come up with something... but then, one shouldn't really credit the men with running Star Trek into the ground with too much in the way of creative intellect.

I think you just said it, they had NO IDEA WHAT THEY WERE DOING! They couldn't even come up with a complete story. ENT had problems with it and that was one of the problems. Great stories were being set up only to be slaughtered in the end or drawn out in several episodes (ie season 4). I hated those mini arcs, so long and drawn out. I would have preferred just two parters, not three parters! All I can say is poor cast and crew of the starship Enterprise. Such good talent being let go without so much as a last hoorah. Even DS9 was given a better goodbye. Those infernal B&B! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbbb Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Such great talent too. Bakula was one of the best actors out there and they let him go. All the main cast had superb acting talent, completely given the middle finger. ARGHDAFADFAFDGVVEEAAAAAAHHHGGHHH!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Hardly anyone agrees about anything on Trek but I think everyone agrees that Berman and Braga came back to [choose profanity] the fans one last time with "These are the voyages". If only zombie Gene Roddenbury would come back to wreak his bloody vengance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnifex Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 If only zombie Gene Roddenbury would come back to wreak his bloody vengance. Yep... Gene Rodenberry "Well, this is my vision for a hopeful, evolved future.. Oh and BTW...BRRAAAAIINNSS" :p And yeah.. Bakula's talents were utterly wasted on Enterprise.

Vyperion Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Well I had a theory about who he was. I believed he was a Rogue Romulan Agent possibly involved in the Temporal Investigations department at Starfleet Command at one point I have very little to base it on but the only two things which speak to me were !} The Cloaking technology - The fact that the Suliban cloaking shield/device was detectable just like the Romulan mines (not the ships) and as Romulans were the first to create cloaking tech he would want his own people to be able to 'see' the Suliban in case they ever decided to attack the Romulans. 2} Romulan War - when Cpt. Archer was pulled into the future the Romulan War decimated Earth and he mysteriously disappeared (or stopped answering). His goal was achieved and he no longer had need of the Suliban. Of course that's just my theory but I came up with that in about five minutes. The Temporal War was just kicked out in two episodes, it deserved more. Season 4 was a disaster probably because they knew they were being cancelled they just gave up. Season 3 was the best. A contiguous story from beginning to end with things happening in one epsiode that followed through instead of disappearing in the next one.

queenhank Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 That was a very complex explanation of something seemingly very simple. I like you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 1. Multiple races have cloaking tech and given the fact he is from... when 26th or something. A humanoid race sending cloaking tech to the past by then - means nothing. 2. What evidence is there that the Romulan War - specifically the one that you envisage destroyed Earth? Beyond the fact that the Earth knew of the Romulan Star Empire - none. I don't feel season 4 was a disaster - the augments and mirror universe were great... but hey, opinions "don't mean nuttin" as someone said. He had a knife. Season 3 was not nearly as coherent as it could have been. Not even close. Still pissing around for more than half a season. Another opinion. Why do we even bother expressing opinions?

Steveo Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Season 4 showed more promise than any of the others. The augments story arc was the best part of enterprise, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 True Mav. Very true. Everyone has a right to state their opinion. Just doesn't do much good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holly18 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 my opinion, for what it's worth, is that Season 1 was adequate, Season 2 was barely watchable, Season 3 was excellent and Season 4 was the best (except for the last episode which was the greatest let down in the history of Star Trek). I can understand not liking the Season 4 three-episode arcs though - they were very non Trek-like. more on topic: He would have been a Romulan!
