This is exactly what I was looking for! Now, it all sorta makes better since to me. I didn't know who did what, why they did it etc... But the entire story line is here at StarTrek.com

Also I found out that Brent Spiner will be part of a three part episode this coming season. Can't be as Data. I wonder what the character will be.

- WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!! -

Below are some story developements of the coming 2nd part of the cliff hanger of last season. If you don't want to know, please go do the dishes or something...

When production of Season 3 concluded last March, it was still uncertain whether the cast and crew would be returning for a Season 4. But, with a sigh of relief, they have, and principal photography concluded Thursday on a most unusual episode.

Audiences were left downright perplexed by the season cliffhanger of "Zero Hour," but this episode will end the guessing game about that bizarre ending. Archer and the NX-01 did indeed end up in Earth's past, during World War II — except that events have been altered by the Temporal Cold War. Archer, of course, is on the surface, fending for himself as he tries to figure out what the heck is going on, while his crew is in orbit doing the same. In fact, what has happened is that, with alien help, the Nazis have conquered the eastern portion of the United States, and much of the action of this episode takes place in a German-controlled Brooklyn. The title is "Storm Front," written by Manny Coto, and is the first of two parts.

John Fleck and Matt Winston make return engagements as temporal agents "Silik" and "Daniels," respectively. Also, Tom Wright, who turned in a striking performance as the title character of Star Trek: Voyager's "Tuvix," plays one of those Nazi aliens named "Ghrath." (By the way, those aliens are not Remans as some have conjectured; they are a new species, a Temporal Cold War faction called "Na'kuhl.") Christopher Neame, who played "Unferth" in "Heroes and Demons," also returns as a German General.

Hey, I can fill in a little more of what is going on. Brent is going to be playing a great ancestor to Dr. Noonien Soong, Data's creator. It will be a three episode arc that will be all about the Eugenics War on Earth (remember that thing that Khan was a result of?) I am excited about that one.

Also, they have been talking a lot about bringing back WIlliam Shanter for an episode or two, but it is still at the rumor stage, and with contract obligations to other shows, they are not sure if it will be possible.

Have you been watching the reruns this summer? Did you catch up with the stuff you missed? They did a lot of doubling up on Wednesday nights, showing 2 episodes in a row a few times. They also bumped up the season premeir by a whole month, so that when Stargate finished up with their new episodes and they go back into reruns, then Enterprise will have new episodes. Interesting how they are fitting the show shows together on Friday nights.

Yep, I have been catching many of the Summer reruns, but again...not in sequence. But now with your help Brian, and the Startrek.com plotline...I can make some sense out of it.

Shatner will have to appear as a retired Officer of StarFleet in a time travel stint. I like the "always wrong" Soong story. I would guess there will be a crude prototype of a "Data", laying around among his scattered projects.

Only three episodes of the Eugenics War?....According to Trek canon, it was a huge revolt and with the super strength and intelligence of the "new race", it was quite a big deal to get over. I too am anticipating this developement, as now we can start to close up old and newer storylines.

C'mon Paramount...Let's do this before I get senile!!

The three episodes are not on the EUgenics war, as that happened, according to Enterprise, during the mid 21st century. If you check back with Shatner in TOS episode "Space Seed" with Khan, it happened in the 1990's (I love that).

They (the powers that be) decided to go with the 21st century storyline to make it more believable. In this particular instance, Soong is against AI and wants to restart where the Eugenics war had left off, by recreating more superhumans. Ironic, isn't it?

I am scared to see Shatner, if he does return. I mean, I like him, but in those episodes.....he was such a ham....I don't know how he would work alongside a serious crew of actors. Hell, I am going to have to order a panzerotti, plop myself in front of the TV and make a decision if they ever get around to doing it. It would definitly help the series with ratings, I would think.

I already see me writing more letters again.....

Aahhh, your learned explanation makes sense now. So if Soong wanted to start up where the Eugenics left off...would the future Data be symbolic of what the superhumans were?....Strong, intelligent, almost immortal? An irony to anti AI.

I like Kevin Pollocks impersonation of Shatner as Kirk......with the hesitation and exagerated pain clenches he used to do in TOS. I have come to like Shartner in his later years. I really enjoyed him in "The Practice" tv show as the kooky and off the wall lawyer. He understands what he is...a paraody of himself. The priceline commercials are funny, especially the ones where Nimoy is hired to replace him. ;D

Doolin understood his character and played it up as Scotty, he made fun of himself, and it worked. They should pair them up. He played a nice cameo in TNG with some laughs along the way.

I think this next season will be a good one, as the first 2 were rather snoozers.
