I wish Guinan could have made a short appearance.

I'm going through the TNG DVD's and am almost through season 3. While watching "Yesterday's Enterprise" it hit me that Guinan, with her sense of things going wrong in time, would have fit in very well as a cameo in one of the time travel episodes of ENT. She was on earth during the time of Mark Twain. Maybe she could have at least been in the audience watching as the Federation is forming.
 
Yes, its been mentioned before. I would have enjoyed seeing her in an episode also.
 
It might have been possible for Whoopi Goldberg to be on this series even more than she was on TNG if she was up for it. After all, when she came to TNG, she had just won an Oscar (1990) and still had a busy movie career. At the time of Enterprise, she was in movies much less frequently (which continues to this day). With all the guest spots she had on TNG even as a consistently working movie actor, imagine how much she could have been on Enterprise! She might have been a semi-regular!
 
I think it would have worked if she had a cameo serving drinks to Trip and Malcolm during 2 Days and 2 Nights. :)
 
That would have been cool.

How about Shockwave pt. 2 where, like somebody's cross mother, she says "Daniels" and has a way to return Archer that's a little more believeable than jabbing a cell phone with a screwdriver.
 
see- ST fans can agree (mostly on something) - Guinan would've been great! I really appreciate how much ST recycles actors and given Guinen's age she would not have even had to be another character. Would have offfered a really nice conncection to TNG. not just that awful TATV thing . . .
 
Guinan was Future Guy, doncha know?

Reading the proposed Season 5 stuff just pisses me off more that the show was canned.

(Doctor Who crossover, though? Love DW but I hope that one wouldn't have happened.)
 
Its very interesting/odd that the Guinan story was registered two months after Enterprise was cancealed. Maybe TPTB thought there was still a glimmer of hope that it might come back in some form and the story was too strong to ignore?
 
Nothing against Whoopi Goldberg, but I hated Guinan and her "look at my I'm so wise and cryptic" magic negro routine. That's not something I would have liked to see in Enterprise.
 
^^^ are you trying to be funny? perhaps your sense of humor is not translating. please explain.
 
Yes, you did. I apologize for jumping to conclusions when you offered your explanation via the link to Wikipedia. I did not realize you were objecting to the use of a literary/dramatic archetype which further encourages stereotyping. (I confess I thought of the movie The Legend of Baggar Vance)

I am sorry for misunderstanding you and opening my mouth before following your link/explanation. I confess I do not tend to glean too much of great value from these boards - but I did learn something and you did make me stop and think - and for that I also thank you.
