That's how they all work.  That is the whole point of the Time Travel Cold War.  Did you freak out when watching Back to the Future?How about when watching the Star Trek whale movie (what was that, IV)?All it means is you have two alternate but co-existing universes.  You have the ST universe up until the Enterprise show, and you have the alternate Enterprise universe.  Shrodinger said that was possible way back in the 1920's and 1930's.You might as well ask what's the sense of having free will?  Just because you have a rich and developed history doesn't mean you have to follow that rich and developed history like it is a predetermined script.Now I think you have lost touch with reality.  The show has millions of viewers.  I doubt there are more than 5,000 obsessive compulsive 15 year old ST fans in the nation at this point.  The draw of the show was always that it was open to all viewers, not just ST geeks.  For God sakes you got talk radio hosts like Dr. Laura mentioning ST episodes even!JDavis, really, what is with all the drama here.  It isn't at the expense of anything.  In fact, it is continuing FROM a movie.Because the timelined has been messed with, in classic ST fashion, numerous times before they even got to this show.  Messing with the time line is pretty darn consistent with the tradition and history of the show.  And the reason for that is the same as it has always been - it is stupid to reduce your ability to be creative by forcing things into an artificial fictional history that is predetermined.That's how Newhart ended, didn't it?</blockquote>
