Was the Xindi arc well thought out?

[The Mirrorball Man]

Had the Xindi season aired before Deep Space 9, I think fans would be crazy about it.

Why didn't the Xindi just do something simple and build a dreadnought-type fleet of missiles and blow up Earth. Or open up one of those portal things in the middle of the sun, destablise the star and let it go nova and destroy the system.

I did like the concept and serialised nature of S3 (it's what VOY should have tried, given their circumstances), but the Xidi were a bit too sterotyped, in that the evil-looking reptilians were the bad guys, why not the primates? Also how realistic is it that six sentient species would evolve on the same planet?

It's science fiction. Realism doesn't count.

I can't really answer this question. I don't remember the Xindi arc that much, other than Trip spending most of Season 3 being pissed off, due to the death of his sister. I think my attention span just drifted away, somewhere in the middle of the season.

Mmmwell, since this 5-years-dead thread was resurrected for an "I don't know," I'd say we're done with this question.

If anyone would like to discuss the topic further, feel free to begin a fresh thread.
