Inspired by a Trek XI movie thread...

What about Guinan? I think she should've done a guest spot on Enterprise, perhaps with Q to flesh out what happened between them 200 years prior to their TNG encounter...

Anyone?
 
Actually, we have discussed the possibility of seeing Q and Guinan (tho' not in the same episode). Some people think it could have worked and others rend garments and wail and gnash their teeth at the very idea.
 
I tend to be one of the latter, but then I thought ENT had enough TNG connections as it was and I think having either of those characters on the show would be a contrived fanwank. :D But then I also hated Acquisition and Regeneration, so go figure. ;)
 
Isn't there enough complaining about canon already? Guinan is one of my favorite characters in Star Trek and it might have been interesting to see a cameo from Whoopie, but one thing I like about Enterprise is that it is the only series without an appearance from a member of the Continuum. (That's if you follow the story that had the powerful being in TOS that tormented the crew was related to Q."
 
I like the idea of a Guinan/Q backstory, but I don't think it would have fit well with the feel of ENT.
 
I remember someone posting that of there had been a season five there was an episode that would've had Guinan and we would've seen why the Vulcans held back earth technology. I would have like to have seen more story ideas for this episode.I wouldn't want to see Q again.
 
I don't know that I'd want them both appearing in the same episode. But I do think it might have been kind of cool to have an episode where an old alien stops to visit -- jovial, friendly, helpful... but all kinds of odd things begin to happen -- good things, not so good, like having a mischievous poltergeist aboard -- but the crew never suspects their guest ... as the alien leaves, in the last seconds of the ep, we catch a glimpse of Guinan's famous grin...
