They showed first contact between Earth and the Klingons and it didnt look disastrous at all to me.What prompted the Humans and Vulcans to go from being bitter rivals to the best of friends?What about first contact with Andoria (touched on a very little) and the Tallar?When was Starfleet Academy first built?To me those are interesting, don't involve war, and could be explored for years. My understanding of the Federation is that Earth, Vulcan, and Andoria are the three pillars of the Federation.Enterprise really teased me and hooked me (briefly) with Earth and Vulcan having a strained relationship, and Vulcan and Andoria being on the verge of war. I wanted to know what caused these three races staring at each other distrustfully to band together and become friends and allies.But that storyline was never really pursued.  Just so many missed opportunities, which is why Enterprise is the most disappointing trek show to date for me.Chuck</blockquote>
