There were technical problems that were used by the writers the "urked me" however it falls within the confines of the time line. As for the temporal Cold war.. I could do without it, don't get me wrong they make it fit and explain it well as to why events are unfolding this way, by "temporal lag" so things cannot be fixed right at that time, there is nothing to say that based on the possible;possibilities that its is deemed that the less intrusive method and a style which alters the timeline less would be the way that things are unfolding in the ST:E universe. And reasons as to why things are occurring have been explained well, "the sphere builders" they lost a war in the future so they get a technological advanced species to destroy the "federation" in the past so they can win in the future. I can see it getting dropped from production rather quickly next season, and I hope it is not the end of ST series, as I would love to see one based on the romulan wars, and the lost era around Enterprise B - C. or even a future one based in the time of the "sphere wars" or even one farther along based on a full scale war with the borg, with both the alpha and beta quadrants joined together to defeat them.
