Except for the eye color, they look a lot alike to me. Which, of course, means nothing, one way or the other.
Both have upturned, broad noses with prominent nostrils. Both have prominent, bony circumorbital ridges. Skin tone is very similar. The Enterprise alien's mouth is closed, so we can't compare dentition.
If he is a Reman, just imagine the possibilty of getting closer to Earth-Romulan war. It would be so badass!!! :D
Ok....
So, the Aquatics droped them back in the middle of WWII?
Wouldn't they have been better off going home on their own?:D
A reman? Could be. Perhaps from a TCW faction where they picked a better plot for the last movie, so the Reman's took over the Romulan gov't. Now they trap Archer in the past to ensure their dominace (I know that idea is full of paradoxes, but since when did that ever stop a good time travel story).
I can't believe they didn't notice the lack of Starfleet tech/buildings. And wouldn't their sensors detect lots of EM/Radio transmissions, instead of Sub-space signals?
Oh, the main reason, IMHO, for the WWII timeslip is the dedication of the Memorial to "The Greatest Generation", which happens this weekend.
Well without having seen the episode - based on the fact that they were immediatelly able to tell in a recent episode that 'the stars have moved' they should have been able to tell the date!
The Remans being involved in the temporal war does make sense of sorts, but then it just kind of gells badly with respects to the convenient overlap of the 'sphere builders' to the Romulans - as really they would have no affiliation (or are not likelly too??)
I can see a future where the repercussions of the Reman revolt would make the Romulans more likelly to allow them in their military, but the problem would be ... why would the Remans want to destroy earths timeline - Shinzon was ... Human.. so if you remove earth / change the timeline then shinzon would not exist and the whole Romulan nature would change - they would most likelly STILL be slaves!
I can also see the Romulan empire basically having consumed earth and eventually Vulcan if the Federation had not existed... well we shall have to wait and see what all of this means !
I'm guessing here, just speculating. This fall we can all see how wrong I am and laugh.
The Xindi weapon created a temporal anomaly taking Archer back to 1944 (P-51D entered service in 1944) Doesn't explain how the ship got sent back. OR Daniels sent Archer into the past to save him, some alien involved in the TCW detected it and went back after him, and Daniels sent Enterprise back to save him. The alien is helping the Nazis to destroy Earths future, that's why the time travellers always help the Nazis. Imagine if the Nazis survive to get into space with the racial purity thing intact. They would fight genocidal wars against everyone they met. It could Balkanize the whole quadrant. It could also unite the whole quadrant against the common threat from humans, allowing a much different Federation to form. Hmmm, I feel a campaign seed coming on...:D
I agree that the coolest thing they could do is bring in the Romulans.
The finale was pretty cool but the last few minutes did have me going "WTF". Not to say I hated it, it just was pretty unexpected.
Overall it was a satisfactory end but they needed more personal loss in the final battle. After all the death since "Azati Prime", they really needed have the stakes notched up again. To be honest, I would have liked to seen Enterprise almost completely destroyed and that the Aquatics returned Enterprise to Earth because they couldn't return under their own power...
...but that wouldn't match up well with final scenes...
Just out of curiousity, was Februrary 14th (which is supposedly the date in which the finale took place) have any siginificance during WW2?
Dunno. Feb. 14 eventsQuote:

Strictly Speaking
I'm trying to figure out a Valentine's Day reference. Hmmmm.
It doesn't have to be a consequence of the Xindi weapon at all. It could be a strike from some other faction in the TCW. It could be a lot of things. We'll just have to wait and see...
I think it's probably something along those lines.... it would make more sense for them to bring closure to this chapter of the storyline while at the same time providing a really cool segue into the next.
I'll tell you this much: I haven't seen this much discussion on an episode in a long time. :)
Anybody else notice that the blond Nazi at the end is the same one who played the blond Nazi in the Voyager "Killing Game" episodes?
Evidently, the Reich lasted some time. ;)
