That's OK; I'm not REALLY complaining about that, since it works off of established canon. The problem I have, currently with Trek, is the overreliance on plot motivations coming from TIME TRAVEL. This plot device has been so overused its become a Trek cliche. This series had sooo much going for it, to really break the Trek mold and do things hinted at in later shows, but never really detailed. Like the Romulan War, or the establishment of the Federation. Even though I love the Andorans (and have been complaining for years that they were an underused race that dissappeared in NextGen and later, and only had a cameo appearance in ST4) I think there's plenty of missed opportunities there as well. So instead of using already established, but lesser known species (like the Andorians, or Tellarites, or even Romulans) we get ANOTHER "ST alien species flavor of the week" (or in this case, season) that ends up being hollow and shallow (we know they're BAD because they're always frowning and talking mean!). After all, the Andorians are IIRC one of the founding members of the Federation, fer chrissakes! Oh well. I wish I was better at writing and maybe I'd do my own version of Enterprise...
