Remember in "Star Trek: First Contact," Captain Picard's crew followed a small Borg sphere through time and blew it to bits over 21st-century Earth. Well, what happened to all that debris? That's the premise behind "Regeneration." In the story, written by Mike Sussman & Phyllis Strong, an arctic research team in 2152 discovers fragments of an alien ship buried in the glacial terrain, along with the frozen corpses of two cybernetically enhanced humanoids. Except they aren't really corpses ? once they're allowed to thaw they come back to life and put their nanoprobes to work. They abduct the scientists and hijack their transport ship, modifying it for higher warp speeds. That's where the NX-01 comes in. Captain Archer's crew gives chase, and learns what an insidious threat these cybernetic beings pose.



WTF??? :| They're killing continuity

Since Roddenberry died, they threw continuity and true trek out the window. Now it's all about ratings and money. The old hollywood draw. Don't make the show/movie/series/whatever for entertainment value anymore. Let's just rape it for every dime we can then dump it. I think it's stupid, but that's all these execs care about anymore. It's not about entertainment anymore. IT's all about money.

Those Enterprise writers seem bent on re-writing the entire history of star trek. Didn't Picard and Enterprise D meet the borg for the first time? And how the hell is NX-01 supposed to overpower borg drones.... thats stupid

Sounds kinda cool to me. If you try and think about series continuity with Enterprise, you're enver going to enjoy it. You have to think about it as an alternate trek universe or something.

Did anyone else think of the Quake 3 "Regeneration" sound when they heard the title?

I think that's awesome.. I don't know what the hell you guys are thinking with continuity.. In one episode of TNG, Tasha Yar led a worthless death - so she goes back like 30 years ago and dies with honor. Wonderful. What about the infinite Enterprises episode?

I think they'll cleverly work their way around... I mean, TNG's history has already been established.. But now that time is altered, we don't exactly know what to expect from Enterprise. I like that. I don't want to know what the hell they're doing all the time.

BTW, that mind meld episode was neat and crap at the same time. The whole time they were trying to relate mindmelding Vulcans to gay people. Wonderful. I wish Star Trek won't get jammed up with propaganda.

I have been complaining about this for a long time. I guess continuity means nothing when you can just make your own timeline up.

I don't mind action and adventure but at least follow some kind of direction. Enterprise is pre-Kirk and is limited to slower speeds and less area of exploration. I am sure there could be lots of odd and unusual things to discover. Why on earth do we need to rehash the borg? I don't care what any body says; the borg was the start of the decline of STTNG. I know what, why not have Enterprise make a pitstop on Talos 4? Or maybe they could go to Janus 6 and find a Horta or two?

Enterprise = suck.
It's like something seperate from the reast of Star Trek.

Star Trek
Star Trek: TNG
Star Trek: DS9
Star Trek: Voyager
"Enterprise"

Plus, to prove the point, in the UK, one channel shows ST/TNG/DS9/Voyager, and a different channel has Enterprise.
Enterprise is just that, an enterprise, totally un Star Trek.

Why do I get the feeling that this'll be tied in to the Temporal Cold War saga(not that that's a bad thing, TCW is good)? Reenforcements from the future perhaps?

I bet you they're gonna make an episode where Picard and Janeway will go back in time with a fleet of starships to save them.

Then using the Borg technology, Archer's Enterprise is refitted with new technology so that it will be the most powerful Enterprise of all! Then they will fly into the future to help Janeway battle Species 9128 (or whatever) and bring them back home sooner!

<sarcasm> Yay! Who cares about continuity as long as the story is good!</sarcasm>

Star Trek is all about discontinuity. Hell, they even changed the storyline so that the inventor of Warp Drive came from Earth for the movie "First Contact." If you watch the episode "Metamorphosis" from the original series, it clearly states he was from Alpha Centauri.

Didn't know that, haven't see The Original Series much. How'd he get to alpha centauri to begin with? Or he wasn't human @ all?

About Enterprise / Borg :p
All hail :disgust:Rick Berman:disgust:
In FC One ship gave the entire fleet a run for their money...Voyager in contrast was able to destroy the entire borg collective :\.
And now this like AUGH.
How about finishing the series with earth is assimilated, its over ;) RIP

The story goes that Earth sent a space craft to Alpha Centauri with a drive that allowed them to achieve near-light speeds, and when they arrived they discovered a humanoid race had already evolved there, and had just perfected the Warp Drive. Zephram Cochrane gave the secret of the technology to the humans as a gift, so their return trip was much faster, and the rest was history, until they changed it for Star Trek: First Contact, because the writers could not stand the thought that a non-Earth person invented the Warp Drive.

Zephram Cochran was human and living on the Alpha Centuari colonies. He then left when he was old (80 years)and was hoping to die in space. His ship was found by "the companion" and taken to its homeworld where he regained his youth and lived there for over a hundred years.
