More ENT nods?

I was a big fan of Enterprise and enjoyed the winks as well. That said, I doubt we'll actually see Admiral Archer in a future movie.

So is DS9 the only Trek series that hasn't been mentioned in one of the movies? Or was there some reference to it in one of the TNG films?

Pity Archer, in the JJ universe anyhow, became a douche.

For putting Scotty on an iceball for six months because he experimented with Archer's beagle? Scotty could have been scrubbing the garbage holds of freighters for six months. What would have been worse?

That's really not a sudden development created by JJ's writing team! I'll spare you horror of having to sit through "A Night in Sickbay" again. He can be prickly where his beloved beagle is concerned. Or actually whenever somebody with pointy-ears opens their mouth... Although in fairness, there he's often only giving back as good as he's getting.

I don't think there'll be an ENT reference, unless Peter Weller happens to be playing John Frederick Paxton III or whichever. Something like that wouldn't be much of a big deal for a new audience. If you're not aware of who and what he stands for, he (or more likely his decendant) can be pretty much summed up in a single scene. No history lesson required. Then it's onto some nasty can of worms he's opened. Perhaps it's more likely such a Paxton character would be set up the traditional major villain, only to become a misdirection and fall victim once he's served his purpose.

Because of an accident with a dog?:vulcan: Darn dog could have been in the wrong place at the wrong time, like he took a wizz on the equipment, and bam, vanished. And if Archer's become one of those folks who treats his dog better than most people, he better than his lucky stars no on Starfleet saw "The Kipper and the Corpse".:techman:


And he was banished to a planet where one can get killed either by the extreme cold, or by big, fury monsters with large, point teeth.


Pity petty minded thinking, senility probably kicked in for Archer.



Ehhhh....doubt you'll see a Paxton......apart from cheesy, useless stuff like Sulu's fencing followed by cheesy grin, or names of planets from the original (better) universe....but wrong planets.....I don't think we'll see JJ give the long time Trek fans any service....apart from loose name drops or something.

Ever consider the fact that Scotty might have taken liberty with Archer's dog and experimented without his authorization because he needed a live specimen.

As long as Scotty didn't go outside, he was quite safe from big, furry, or non furry critters with large teeth or tentacles.
 
Yeah, Scotty was about as safe in the outpost as anyone is in a starship.
Long as they don't get stupid and beam a maniacal tyrant bent on ruling the universe on board, they should be okay. And FGS, don't sit there and watch a ship being sucked into a black hole and think nothing's going to happen. Where the hell was the female who previously said, "The black hole's expanding. We won't reach minimum safe distance if we don't leave immediately."

As has already been pointed out, the Defiant's appearance in First Contact is a pretty big DS9 reference. Also, when Worf oversleeps in that film, Picard says "I don't know how they do it on Deep Space Nine, but..."

In Insurrection, we hear that the Diplomatic Corps is tied up with Dominion negotiations and reference is made to the fact that the Son'a have been involved in producing Ketracel White. (The latter reference was reciprocated on DS9 when Weyoun makes reference to the Son'a.) Again as has already been mentioned, there was also to have been a Quark cameo at the conclusion of the film, and it was filmed, but it was ultimately cut.

And in Nemesis, there was to be a scene in which Worf has returned to Starfleet and he and Picard comment on his not being cut out to be an ambassador, but it was cut out of the final edit.
