Someone on another board had the idea of making Hoshi like Bashir (genetically enhanced before birth) but I decided (independently, I hope, I don't think I was taking someone else's idea ) that linking her to the Eugenics Wars was a better bow to Trek history/continuity. After all, there probably would have been a lot of eugenics descendents (Dr. Paxton, perhaps? ) but we don't hear much about them because they don't disclose family histories for fear of discrimination.

Completely agreed with you. I've always been a big fan of Khan, the Augments/Supermen, and the Eugenics Wars. I actually did/am doing a similar subplot for a character of mine in a PBEM game I'm in, which is how I got the idea for Hoshi, since it made so much sense to me.

I like your idea for Reed, too, which again is similar to what I'd have done with him in a reboot (of course they hadn't thought to make him S31 until season four, but hindsight is 20/20 ), except instead of him having a specific alien threat to worry about, S31 would just have him start out gathering general information and preventing the Enterprise from getting into serious trouble, which would then have evolved into focusing more on the Romulans.

But I like yours better, I think. It would make sense that Section 31 knew about the Romulans way before anyone else on Earth and would want to keep tabs on them and learn more about them, especially since they're supposed to be the series' major villain.

Hmm...now I'm starting to wonder if we both brought up our ideas in an ENT reboot thread in the ENT forum, since we agree on a lot of things. I, too, would hate to think that I've stolen other people's ideas, but the thread could have been so long ago that we've forgotten about it...

Actually, some of my stuff might have come from here, an Enterprise reimagined game where we came up with some pretty cool ideas.

Well, I personally liked the idea of there being communications between the Romulans and the rest of the Trek powers before the first war, but they just always used Remans or other races for contact. Then war broke out years later (like they made contact in the 2140s or something).

JINX, Skywalker have either of you guys read the first post-TATV Enterprise book, The Good That Men Do, because it deals with Section 31 and their knowledge of, and investigations into, the Romulans.

Yep. Good book, not a huge fan of Trip having to remain undercover forever, but technically the book people have to adhere to what the TV people say...

Thanks for the link to that thread, JiNX, and shame on you and all the others for making poor Rigil Kent do all the work on those alternate S3 and S4 episodes!

Now we only need a role for Hayden Panetierre.

How about "grown up", or somewhat older, Naomi Wildman?

That's not a bad suggestion either. We could, then, bleach Milo's hair and have him play Tom Paris. Though I kind of got used to think of him as "the next Weyoun".
