Line 8:
* It is ''only'' this episode that is in an alternate timeline (and that stupid [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Exile_(episode) gothic-romance-IN-SPACE] episode from Season 3), not the whole of ''Enterprise.''
* Given that a picture of the Enterprise NX-01 appears on a wall in ''[[Star Trek Nemesis]]'', it can be taken that ''Enterprise'' is in the past of the "prime" Star Trek timeline. So maybe "before" the events of ''[[Star Trek First Contact]]'' some things had been different (e.g the name of the ship, the design of the ship, whatever), but "after" ''First Contact'' the timeline had been changed to fit what's shown on ''Enterprise'' -- and this is the "real" timeline, not an "alternate" one.
** Perhaps ''Nemesis'' happened in a [["Close Enough" Timeline]]. The TNG films after ''First Contact'' have been accused of giving their leads [[Character Derailment]]. If ''those'' happened in a different timeline than the main TNG series, then that is explained. And this makes a nice divergence point.
*** The point is that there have been a million and one examples of [["Close Enough" Timeline|Close Enough Timelines]] in Star Trek -- ''First Contact'' being just one of them. In each case, the [["Close Enough" Timeline]] becomes the official Star Trek timeline from then on. So ''Enterprise'' having had the events of ''First Contact'' take place in its past does not mean it's set in a ''different'' timeline (which somehow delegitimises it in the eyes of the [[Fan Dumb]]) -- it means it's set in the latest version of the ''correct'' timeline.

[[Identical Grandson|They look identical]], and Arik Soong is familiar with the Briar Patch, which has a convenient [[Star Trek Insurrection|Fountain of Youth Planet]] in it. It's possible that after his release from prison, he traveled back to the Briar Patch, stumbled upon the Ba'ku world, and developed his positronic brain technology there, before leaving almost two hundred years later and resettled with a new identity on Omicron Theta. He hyped the technology a lot, [[Failure Is the Only Option|but the prototypes failed for some reason]], so was ridiculed out of the scientific world. Also, [[Schizo
