News Exclusive: Scott Bakula Eyeing Star Trek Return In President Archer Series Pitch From ‘Enterprise’ Producer

[FederationHistorian]

Discovery has confirmed that the Fed had zip to do with the Klingons between Enterprise and Disco's Klingon War.

Which we know is a load of crap since Spock’s statement of unremitting hostilities with the Klingons for 70 years in TUC means the Federation has had interactions with Klingons going back to the 2220s – 30 years before Disco.

And considering Burnham was taking about firing phase cannons – ENT-era tech – when they had phasers, and the crew botched their mission to capture T’Kuvma, maybe that crew wasn’t all that bright.

That’s a lot of writing just to confirm that a Romulan War show or film will not be like how anyone has envisioned it in their minds for the last 50 years.

You still have not explained what you mean.

Your argument sound like you are saying it won’t play out to headcanon of viewers, which wildly differ from person to person. That’s assuming the viewers that watch have a headcanon of the Romulan War in the first place. You are discounting the new viewer experience.

As for the fandom, Federation-Klingons wars have played out as expected on DIS and DS9. And did these viewers need every gritty detail to understand the Occupation was bad for Bajorans?

I have no idea as to why you think that any visual depiction of the Romulan War would not meet expectations.

Disco DID mention the 2245 Battle of Donatu V strangely enough while also indicating that the Fed and the Klingons didn't interact much otherwise. Picard also claimed that "First Contact" with the Klingons was what led to their hostilities, except it's not clear what he meant by that. It wasn't the Enterprise Broken Bow First Contact obviously. Federation First Contact? It's clear even in Discovery that the Klingons contacted the Fed before, albeit sporadically.

So we already had Enterprise, TNG, and TUC giving contradicting info on how things with the Klingons went bad and Discovery, which had a unique opportunity to smooth things out, just added more confusion with new contradictory info.

I thought it was pretty obvious.

For someone watching Star Trek for the first time, it won’t matter because they will have no context. For a Star Trek fan of 50 years who has a preconceived notion of what the war looked like (which would be 99% of the people watching the movie), they will be disappointed.

But I’m not too concerned, because there’s no way in hell Skydance is going to make a Romulan war movie.

Picard is speaking about Vulcan first contact with the Klingons, which Discovery mentioned. Which then leads into the Vulcans wanting to use probes before first contact, which is seen in ENT.

ohhhh. So what Picard said was true, from a certain point of view.
