So since it looks like we're going full bore into the temporal cold war, time to ask a question that (as far as I know) was never resolved in Enterprise: who was the mystery man that was giving the Suliban all their bio enhancements and knowledge about the future? I liked how STO worked in Kal Dano to link the dead time traveler to the Tux utat, I thought that was clever and answered a few questions. Now who do you think will end up being the Suliban contact? Someone already in game? A new character?

Why would it be archer? He'd have no reason (or ability) to do so unless were talking about an evil future version or something.
"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
Thats kinda the point, even Mirror Archer wasn't as evil as the other mirror counterparts, part of why he ended up dead.

True, but the others are right. I remember hearing/reading that commentary too. It was just one of their ideas, and since season 5 never happened we will never know what the final decision would have been, but it really was on their shortlist. And would that really have been the looniest thing that happened in that series. I mean I did enjoy it to an extent, and I definitely don't hate it the way some fans do but... there were quite a few questionable plot decisions over the years.
thumbs up!
It was G-Man, as in "prepare for unforeseen consequences"
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
The only thing that could explain why it's Noye, is that this Future guy and the Suliban that work for him, are enemies of Vosk. But that's about it really.
I just hope they won't make the player character Future guy. Though it would mean we finally get a voice for our characters... but at the same time it would be silly to be a temporal celebrity, The Other, Hero of the Delta Quadrant, Tal Shiar's most wanted, Peacemaker with the Iconians and the 'Guy who saved Earth and allowed for the foundation of the Federation and thus indirectly saved the Galaxy as we know it Once again'. Could be an interesting player title, but it might also be a bit too much
That would certainly be surprising. I have some severe doubts, but it would be a way to turn him into something else than just an Annorax clone - I imagine him realizing eventually that he made a terrible decision (maybe after we help him get his wife back or something like that), and trying to maintain a stable timeline but averting a major catastrophe his actions did.
An easy explanation for Noye being future guy would be that the spehere builders screwed him over and he just wanted to get revenge for that. That's pretty much his thing.
Though it would be nice to see a new character with proper (thought out) motives behind that, just don't see that happening.
My character Tsin'xing
that would justify clauda's voice acrtess more! and be funny as hell!
"Clauda, its me! You were my wife in another timeline, and soon to be the mother of my child!" *evil glare of death* "Like hell alien scum, that's disgusting!"
As for it being Noye, the guy has a major burning hatred for all things Star Fleet and the Federation, there's no way he would pussyfoot around like we've seen in Enterprise, if he could he'd wipe out all humans well before First Contact was ever made.
ummm.....So much for nobody knowing what the Romulans looked like until the reveal in Balance of Terror.

Noye sounds like a choice Cryptic would go with, but I'd love them to bring in Archer - more canon characters doing VO the better. But whatever it is, it would be great for STO to close up the treads left dangling by Enterprise's cancellation. Season 12: Enterprise Season 5!
No...just no. This season like Enterprise just needs to be left alone. Its bad enough already.

Well there was that time Archer committed painful genocide on an entire people by refusing them medical treatment.
Or the time he chastised his best friend for deigning to treat a new friend like a -person- in defiance of her horribly sexist culture. Oh, this gripe-out happened immediately after that person had committed suicide, so bonus points there.
Archer was actually kind of a TRIBBLE at times, to be honest.
Ha! First, it's a fan film, secondly, like most things in TOS that would have been retconned by ENTS5 anyway. Remember when the Romulan STAR Empire didn't have warp drive? Remember when the antimatter armed starships had a Nuclear war? Remember when a Constitution could travel at warp 14? When Vulcan had no moon? TOS serves as nothing more than an ideas script for later series.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

It's weird part of canon, the vulcans and orions know who the romulans are but nobody asked them. And I think, in ENT era some people know how the romulans look, but it is not well-know fact.
That thing were good explained in the novel Romulan War from Michael Martin, where the romulans have a full helmets the same like in this movie Horizon, they have smaller ships without warp-drive because Earth and colonies have warp-detection system. STAR Empire without warp-drive is nonsence.
Hmm Balance of Terror, is it the canon , that Romulan commander looks exactly the same as Spock's father Sarek lol?
