My Idea for a Trials and Tribble-ations type ENT episode...

I've already posted this in a thread on TW, but here it is just for you...

I think it could be just as fun as Trials and Tribble-ations(the only DS9 episode I ever bought). They could work it that Daniels needed to send Archer 115 years into the future to stop an important colony from being destroyed by Suliban from Kirk's time, and to keep the amount of 23rd century people in the know about the TCW to a minimum, he sends Archer and co. to protect them, in full 23rd century garb under the guise of being from a starfleet ship of the time. Everything is authentic TOS down to the music and effects (including 'classic' punch sounds), and Reed turns around after easily throwing a polystyrene rock at a Suliban, looks at his uniforrm and says "Well, thing's are certainly a lot different in the future.".

At the end of the episode, Archer and co are asked which ship they come from, and just thoughtlessly say "Enterprise", and the colony leader says he'll send Starfleet a letter commending the ship. Archer and co then dissapear just before a Starfleet ship from the period arrives (possibly the Enterprise, depending if there is availible footage of Kirk) and says it is there to render assistance, and the colony leader says "thanks, but another starfleet ship has already helped us", to which a redshirt replies "which ship?", and the colony leader says "The Enterprise", then the starfleet people just look at eachother puzzled, possibly with Spock raising his eyebrow if he's there...

roll credits...complete with TOS theme music!

Ratings stunt? Maybe. Lot's of fun, no doubt about it!

I think it'd be fun to send Archer back to the 1930s and walk past the accident that kills Edith Keeler.

Or maybe to the 80s, where he nearly runs over Kirk in a car, and calls him a dumbass.

Or, maybe they can digitally insert the crack addicted, oops sorry, Trellium-D addicted T'Pol as the punker with the ghetto blaster on the bus.

And IIIIIIIIIIIII hate you!
And IIIIIIIIIIIII berate you!
Cause IIIIIIIIIIIII hate you!

But doing it in the past would sort of eliminate the novelty of it, since there'd be no need for retro costumes and effects...

I like the idea of time traveling to TOS era. And the Enterprise goof would be funny as hell.

Exactly, which is why I think breifly meeting Kirk and co. on one of their time travel adventures wouldn't be as cool, cause there'd be no time to poke fun at TOS.
