No kidding. If you saw my living room earlier, you’d have died. Especially compared to now!
Here’s the now pictures:
Now my sofa was still in the same location it has been since last month. Plus my EC was all filled like you saw last night. And there was that jumbo pile of junk. It is now in like nine bags in the garage. Plus there were four totes. And some furniture I have since moved out. Of course moving that entertainment center was a big deal. I had to take everything off of it. and then I had to do some rewiring and then figuring out how to set everything back up again. Etc etc. Anyway, I just wrapped up.
Now I’ll tell you, I did only move the furniture into the kitchen as well as the totes. My back still hurts from moving stuff in there and taking things out to the garage and the like. So I decided I had done enough for today. I can take stuff to the basement tomorrow. I need to rest now. I was a slave today! Slave to the house! Plus I am not going to get the desk of Sir Megabyte’s to the basement without help. I may not even take it down there but instead find someplace in garage for it. Unsure at this time. But I think I did a pretty good job. We’ll see what the real estate agent wants me to do with the furniture in here. There may yet be another incarnation. 🙂
OK, I’m going to veg now. Watch Star Trek and do not much else. I just really want an unwind break! 🙂 But I did so much. I mean… oh if you could have seen the before pictures!
I do have to brag for one second. Kids came home to house in major states of disarray. And they helped me out some. They were so nice about helping me out some too. Didn’t tantrum or anything! Caramon even said that he wanted us to have a clean house so we could sell it and move to daddy so daddy wouldn’t be alone anymore. they are really good kids. Of course, when they are terrors… ooooh boy! HEHE

Well, he said (if he’s truthful) that once the Xindi destroy Earth, they’ll be able to take… something as their own (the Expanse? our entire universe?)… It might be that they need Humans (or the future Federation) out of the way so they can move in and they conned the Xindi into believing Earth would destory them so they’d attack first… Of course, if these new aliens moved in, the Federation could go to war with them and in the process, blow up the Xindi planet (their new planet?) or something… Truthfully, we know very little about the supposed time the Xindi world is destoryed by Earth – that would be in the 26th century, around 200 years after TNG era.
Of course, that’s presuming the Expanse exists in normal space / time, which many people don’t believe. 🙂
And remember, Daniels from the future said they had no record of an Earth-Xindi conflict – and this is never mentioned again by the later series so I get the impression someone really fubarred the timeline here.

See that was just it… definately made it sound like there was something going on. I mean that whole line about once Xindi destroy earth… hmmm. I defiately agree with your theory.
I think that these whatever they are don’t want the Federation around. And I think the Xindi are the suckers that fell for the scam.
As to this not being mentioned… I think they are really showing some of hte fubarring of the timeline. I mean, you had everyone in every other show just about do something in the past. Hello… something had to finally muck up and change the past. Well now we see it. Like the Borg episode. Daniels said something about the war maybe not having rippled to them yet. Makes you think.
At any rate… I think this alien might maybe be a key player in the Xindi mystery. Let’s hope. I’m kind of hoping for some explanations soon. 🙂
I hadn’t heard anything about the expanse not being in normal space/time. Well abnormal space for sure, but they had that funky space from the movie a few movies back. I mean there is definately some fruity parts of space out there.

It’s not been mentioned directly on the show but many fans posting online have debated just when the Expanse is compared to the rest of the galaxy. Earth suposedly destroys the Xindi homeworld in 400 years… but it was destroyed over a 100 years ago? Someone with technology that “reads” from the future is helping the Xindi. Xindi traveled back in time to 2003 but we’ve never seen any other evidence of time travel tech? It’s all just guess work… but people speculate…
The Expanse was probably created by the Spheres and will probably be destroyed (not saying all the planets will, just the barrier and the annomylies) before the end – which might explain why it’s never heard from again in future shows yet it’s pretty big and pretty near Earth.
So, we’ll just have to wait and see. 🙂

Well it definately seems like the spheres are the cause of weirdness. And i wouldn’t be at all surprised to see them go. Though there are so freaking many…
I found it odd the homeworld was destroyed, however they have a new “home”. It seems as though the homeworld that was destroyed previously was destroyed by something other than humanity. I think it is the new home that the federation is supposed to destroy. From the Xindi council talking, that’s what it sounds like to me!
What an interesting theory though. I can’t wait to see what unfolds. I heard a rumour they are going to do something totally different and change the face of Enterprise AGAIN for next season. I guess we shall see. I personally love Enterprise so am anxious to see what comes next!
I thought that they traveled using their temporal tattle tale pals. It definately is near earth. Only took them 3 months to get there by way of warp 5. That’s definately close by. At least in the eternal space perspective. *GRINS*

“It definately is near earth. Only took them 3 months to get there by way of warp 5. That’s definately close by.”
Well… unless they found a… subspace expressway. ;P
Yeah, I’m serious about the term… it isn’t cannon but the Star Trek: Star Charts book tried to come up with an explanation for how the less than Warp 5 (on any scale but should be old TOS scale) Enterprise could reach the Klingon homeworld in only a matter of days (and that’s not even counting going to at least two other systems on the way). Oh, and they also went almost back to Earth just afterward too in only a few days.
See, the trip should have taken an incredibly long time. It takes a good handful of days to get from Earth to Qo’nos with TNG speeds. The star charts book made claim to explain how this was possible by saying that there are sections of space where the subspace allows for faster travel than conventionally possible – a point some fans argue is because they’ve been traveled so much, subspace has been made a bit “smoother” by constant warp travel (which makes sense; the more you smooth something, the more thin it gets and we know warp drive causes subspace ruptures eventually).
Now, no one is necessarily believing this book is true – they just needed to figure out some explanation for the impossible feat. These “expressways” would explain all the other times that distance and travel time didn’t mesh in the ST universe…
Well, not all… I still don’t understand how (in ST:VI) Sulu in the Excelliscior was close enough to Qo’nos to be hit by the explotion of the moon Praxis… yet he was taking the ship back to Earth on only impulse power???

Yeah they need to really map the star trek universe out because things do seem impossible sometimes.
of course I don’t think they usually used warp 9 (and of course *now* they have space speed limits which of course cracked me up) to motor around unless it was an emergency or something. Aren’t they back to using warp five now? I can’t remember, but I do remember the episode.
I never really paid attentiont to how long it took them to get to the klingon planet. I don’t usually pay attention because tv time is definately not our time. Common mistake people make. “Oh that was four weeks ago, that could happen in a month!” Well the timing of this episode and that episode was next day… and… *SHRUG* I have no recollection of what the time period to the klingon homeworld was. I have always thought the klingons were close neighbours to us, but other than that… (I mean a lot closer than say… the expanse) Same with the Romulans. But I don’t recall actual time frames for travel.
We do know that “expressways” kind of exist. Or that there are ways to do things. I mean first of all they established very easily done wormhole travel in DS9. And then in Voyager they had them cut all kinds of time off their trip doing this, that, and the other sort.
I would like someone to take a look at all the shows and figure things out. I think the big thing though is just the writing staff has been so extreme. Between just the like five shows, the what? 10 movies? and the hundreds of books… Not to mention the creator, family, producers, directors, actors, etc etc etc.
I do like this idea of going to a prequel type thing. And showing different things happening. After all, everyone else mucked up the timeline, so why couldn’t things change?

Well, the Enterprise-D could often cruise at Warp 7 or 8 on a good day – and it still took them days to get from star to star. That’s also the new scale; the old TOS scale had them going up to warp 13 and such. Warp 9 on the old scale was incredibly slower than warp 9 on the TNG scale. Star Trek: Enterprise should not be using the TNG scale and realistically should be using the TOS scale (unless they changed it over the next 100 years!) so their Warp 5 is significantly slower than TNG’s warp 5 – which was very slow for normal travel speeds. Heck, some shuttlecraft could go up to warp 5 on their scale, heh!
Oh, and shortly after they put in that speed limit, they developed warp engines that don’t actually damage subspace. The Intrepid-class ships (including Voyager) used folding geomatric techno-babble warp fields. Of course… people must question this since the first of the class – the U.S.S. Intrepid should have had it… but int he same episode they discovered the damage to subspace, Geordi mentions having a competition with the engineer of the Intrepid – making it sound like it’s a fully functional ship… It’d be odd that they’d release another ship with the same name only months later!
