I just watched the Enterprise episode "Regeneration" (potential spoilers)

[Endangered Specie]

As we all know, its the (in)famous enterprise Borg episode. I was feeling optomistic about Enterprise due to its latest episodes, so, never wanting to get my hopes too high... I watched this little beauty.

Being the loyal Trekker I am, I enjoy trying to explain away all the various continuity inconsitancies and plot over sights and technical no-no's, but this one may be a good challenge to explain away.

I can see the Borg remains being left over from when Picard and Co. blew the time traveling sphere to kingdom come (and part of the artic). But I am going to have a hard time justifying how no one in "Q Who" didnt know about this bunch, and that they somehow didnt know that these beings (notice how they NEVER mentioned "Borg", that would have been the final straw) were coming based on record...

By the end of this one, we are lead to believe the Borg in the 22nd century send a message which makes the Borg know about Earth in the 24th (leading to "Q Who" and whatnot), but the borg from the 22nd century are really from the 24th themselves (they travelled from 24th to 21st and got unfrozen in 22nd), you see the timeline circle here?

Though, we could assume that the Borg learned of the Humans b4 this message, and when they finally got it they just ignored it. And perhaps all the info on the borg was destroyed, either by them (self destructing ) or when the religious nuts boarded NX-01 and wiped out half the computer memory (which is the same excuse I use for the Ferengi episode).

You may be asking how come the Timeline overseeing dudes dont interfere with all this...
My main excuse for this is, apparently they (UFP time police) are formed in the late 24th early 25th century (end of DS9ish) , and they make it such that all timetraveling and altering is ok so long as both the traveller and destination (both before and after) all occur BEFORE their founding (since, presumably, all those incidents LEAD to the founding of the institute), and they would only govern time travelling/travellers from the 25th century onward (sort of a juristiction range)
That explains away most the stuff about how sometimes the time police sometimes and sometimes dont show up.

If it werent for this whole mess of consitency, canon, and timeline, it was a fairly entertaining episode watching an much much dumber crew than the 1701-D deal with them.

A little rant.
