Tholian

You want to know what my party is? I'm trying to be honest with you.

When they ask me about my race, I have claimed to be Tholian.

I have claimed to be Bajoran.

I generally stay away from genuine human races, but what surprises me is the people who are asking me these questions on a couple of occasions have asked me, can you spell that please?

And he's going to explain why he's doing what he's doing.

So apparently the Tholians have a ship from a parallel future and we get a screenshot of a TOS looking NCC-1764, the USS Defiant.

It's got to be full of cool shit.

T'Pol hits the doubt button and Forrest is unconvinced, but you know, course is set in, so tough.

In the Star Trek Enterprise episode, In the Mere Darkly Part 2, that's when the Mere Universe Captain Archer is on the USS Defiant.

And that's the ship, the Defiant's the ship that was lost to the Tholians in the original series episode, The Tholian Web Incident.

When it disappears in the Tholian web, it gets sent over to the Mirror Universe, and that's when Archer finds it.

But he's doing a little research into the Prime Universe counterparts, the actual crew of the Enterprise.

And on one of the scenes that he's looking at, it's revealed that Lieutenant Commander Hoshi Sato retired and went to live on Taurus Colony, where she was among those 4,000 people that were killed by Koldos.

Right.

Like, there's always the suits from the Tholian web or whatever it is- [laughs]

Yeah

... turning up on somebody.

We begin with Future Tense.

Enterprise finds a small craft, apparently from the future, adrift in space, and both the Suliban and the mysterious Tholians are intent on retrieving this.

So the episode begins, and we come across this mysterious spacecraft, and they bring it aboard Enterprise.

And they find there's some timey whimey stuff going on, and they crack it open, and there's a dead body inside.

It's ours." And they're really not making any progress in figuring out what this thing is other than it's from the future, and the guy on the ship is f- you know, like, he's got various different species' DNA in him, including Vulcan and human and et cetera, et cetera.

And so they get the Suliban to go away.

And then the Tholians show up, and they say, "We want it." And Archer's like, "Well, I don't know who you are, but screw off too." And so then they're like, "Well, we better get out of here." So there's a Vulcan ship.

So they're running to the Vulcan ship, and they're trying to kind of figure out how the ship functions and what it's for.

Okay.

Do you remember the Tholian web-

Yes

... where the ship that they're looking for gets lost in interphase, and that's how they... you know, Kirk gets, is stuck on that ship-
