No, what I'm refering to is the fact that the original crew knew nothing of the exsistance of the mirror side, not that it didn't exsisit at all. "Enterprise" consistantly seems to insert itself into situations where later on kirk & campany have never heard/seen of them.

And this is what I was refering to. Simply not naming species from future shows so they can claim they havn't broken "cannon" is very weak. Instead of writing new material they fall back on the "unknown-future" alien of the week stories. It seems (to me anyways) that they are using Coto's liking of TOS as cover, so B&B can continue to do pretty much the same style of shows they did on Voyager.

I will agree with you on the Voyager issue.
Duct tape is like The Force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
