Star Trek XI: Romulan Wars?

Posted by michael on from the it's-all-downhill-from-here dept.

Tycoon Guy writes "TrekToday reports that the next Star Trek movie will deal with the war between Earth and the Romulans that led to the founding of the Federation. According to Rick Berman, the film will be 'set before the time of Kirk, but will not be connected with Enterprise.' So how will they make this fit with the Classic Trek episode Balance of Terror, in which we learned that no human ever saw the face of a Romulan during the Romulan Wars?"

    Erm, I've watched all of 75 minutes total of Enterprise, and from what I've seen online, it's not supposed to be contiguous.

    The timeline deviates early in the series (as in the NX-01 was supposed to be destroyed in it's first encounter with the Klingons), and everything from that point forward is an alternate timeline, right down to the Borg, which is the 'fault' of the First Contact movie.

    I'll accept the storyline, and try to keep an open mind when I sit down to watch it, but that still doesn't mean it will be good. :\
