Future Guy's Identity

[pookha]

But if that's the case, why did he tell Archer where the Xindi were?

Perhaps because the Sphere Builders intended their "Expanse" to engulf the entire quadrant and beyond, encompassing Vulcan and eventually other worlds like Romulus too. The reason why Future Guy stopped the NX-01 being destroyed in Cold Front is much more of a puzzle... Later on, the Suliban (under his direction) cause the destruction of a colony, which in turn almost sets Starfleet exploration back a decade or more. So his agenda apparently involved Enterprise still being around but not making history with every light year?

or trying to control more just what type of exploration they did and where.
remember not to much later they stumble upon the romulan test of the cloak.

plus part of it was a ruse to get archer to meet fg.


some of the most interesting and popular choices over the year..

a romulan
an orion
henry archer before we found out more in the 4th season
wesley
the mirror version of kirk who somehow made it to the future after the terran empire fell.

an earlier version of daniels

Irrelevant.

Captain Robau is Future Guy.

Future guy is Trip's and T-Pol's Great, Great, whatever, Grandson.

Actually, by the end of season 5, I think we would have learned that Future Guy was in fact T'Pol's time-travelling Romulan spy dad, who got stuck in the 26th century and can now only communicate through time.

Season Five Finale:

Future Guy: "T'Les never told you what happened to your father."
T'Pol: "She told me enough. She told me you killed him."
Future Guy: "No.. I am your father."
T'Pol: "No, no... That's not true. That's impossible!"
Future Guy: "Search your feelings, you know it to be true!"
T'Pol: "Noooooo, nooo..!" [throws herself down the nearest shaft]

Or better yet, The Future Guy was in fact Lorian, who, at the end of E2 ended up in the future:

Lorian: "How did my father die?"
Rick Berman [using mind tricks]: "A young writer / producer named Brannon Braga, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped UPN hunt down and destroy Enterprise. He betrayed and murdered your father. Now ENTERPRISE is all but extinct."

LOL.

Someone on the General forum is a thread about how to bring Star Wars fans to Star Trek. You may have figured it out.

Mach5, Lorain sounds good.

He is after all the son of TnT so a Son or Great, Grandson the FG is an offspring of TnT.

Future Guy was always anti-Federaton so I cannot see him being anyone that supports the Federation such as Loran, Janeway, etc... The only times Future Guy supported Archer was when battling a faction that he considered a bigger threat than the eventual Federation time police.

I really like the idea of him being Romulan. Using other races to do his bidding seems like the Romulan way, plus it would explain how they developed cloaks and mind control drone ships.

 

[cooleddie74]

Daniels admitted he was from the 28th century fairly early on in the series. And the silhouette in "Broken Bow" seemed to tease and hint that he had pointed ears and a bowl haircut. Who knows. But the Romulan theory makes more sense than most given that empire's sour histories with and defeats at the hands of both Earth/the Federation and the Klingons.

 

[Vulcan Princess]

I've often thought that Future Guy was Romulan as well. It's exactly the type of over-the-top brilliant, yet arrogant scheming and intrigue we've come to expect from them. It wouldn't surprise me if Sela somehow ended up getting stranded in the future and was involved. It seems like her style.

 

[ChristopherPike]

You're right (d'oh! as always) Cooleddie... Unable to locate my copy of Cold Front, I looked Future Guy up on Memory Alpha.

Not sure how I arrived at the 26th Century instead of the 28th. Maybe I'm coming down with bad case of Abrams' Syndrome. That's where you do some research, find it boring, then just go "to hell with this, this is my version and what I say goes..."

 

[Middleman]

I thought about this for a long time and have come to the conclusion that Future Guy was really Mach 5.

 

[Penguin]

AWWW, you told Middleman.

Mach5, are your ears pointed?

Actually, Croatian people have no ears

I thought Daniels was from the 28th century and that Daniels said future guy is from an earlier century when technology only allowed him to communicate through time.

 

[pookha]

yeah..that is what was said.

 

[By-Product]

This may be controversial but I always thought it sounded like Admiral Forrest. That way when he died in the explosion, it was a good excuse for there to be no more Future Guy.

 

[Praetor]

IIRC, Future Guy was a member of a TCW faction stated by Daniels to have to employ alien agents such as the Suliban in the past because they had not achieved actual means of time travel 'yet' in Future Guy's era.

I say he's a bitter Romulan. James Horan would have made a good Romulan. Plus, I imagine there are a lot of Romulans sore that losing the war to the Earth alliance was a turning point in their history. Having proxies try to intervene to allow the Romulans to win the war (by pitting the allies against each other, sabotaging the NX program, starting a Klingon civil war, etc.) would seem to make some sense - it hurts the enemy without directly influencing the Romulans of the past.

Daniels is from the 31st. He said Future Guy is from 300 years earlier.
