Oh yes, definitely the panda.
You must live in the Bay Area. And I’m damn glad I had finished my soda before reading this. 
What about Chef? I loved Chef.
Agreed. When they brought the Borg into the plot, not even “Scott Bakula and the puppy” were enough for me.
But s/he’s not talking about just technology. Most of the alien races in Enterprise are completely new and never seen in any of the other series. Could that many of them have gone extinct?
Ever hear of Madame Currie?
Heh. Sounds pretty iffy to me, which is in all probability a good thing. No I hadn’t done any research on the topic because I asked my brother for a cite, which he hasn’t yet emailed me, I’ll add. As much as I love all things (well most things) Star Trek, since the Enterprise debacle I just haven’t been even remotely interested in following up on what’s going on in the ST world. Although I have purchased a couple of the ST novels, yes that I’ll admit to. Some of them are good, although it’s hard to tell which ones before you purchase them. 
The “Worlds of DS9” series (3 books so far) has been really good-I really enjoyed reading about the different worlds and cultures, especially the Ferengi one.
