Who is Future Guy?

JME2 · Post by **JME2** » 2003-10-07 01:23am

From the very start of Enterprise, this figure has been mucking around with the timeline, helping Archer one minute then trying to cancel his mission the next. Who is the fiend and why come to the 22nd century?

Well, I'm of the opinion that (and I'm quite serious here) Future guy is none other than

(drumroll)

...Captain James Hook!

oops. Try again

(drumroll)

...Captain James T. Kirk?

The question is, why?

Kirk who wants to stop Archer and his ship from being the first starship to be named enterprise.

Thoughts?

It'll be something ironic, maybe future guy will turn out to be the original time travelling agent chap, as a renegade, similar to those 26th century vogons or whatever they were from the Risa TNG episode.

Wesley Crusher. It's got to be. He's finally achieved his goal of creating something that Star Trek fans hate more than him.

It will be Archer from the future.

With all the "references" they've been making to SW, i picture somthing like this

:::::Archer is facing off against future guy in that communications room::::

Future Guy: *Heavy breathing* John, the vulcans never told you what happned to your father

Archer: They told me enough, they told me you killed him

Future guy: No, I am your father

Archer: NNNNNOOOOOOOOOO :Jumps down a conviently placed shaft:

Hmmm...Could work. But would even B n' B sink that low?

Do you have to fucking ask? If they thought (and I use the term very loosely) it would help ratings, of course they would!

Who is the Future Guy?

...The butler!

Howedar · Post by **Howedar** » 2003-10-07 11:08pm

I think its Chef.

Wow, South Park cameos? B&B finally find a sense of humour...

Its Janeway from Endgame, who royallyfucked up with the time travelling. Through technobabble she eliminates both VOyager and Boobyprise from the timelines.

then Kirk is ressurected from the grave and begins feeding off the flesh of humans.

Of course! It's so obvious! Why didn't I think about it before (and I'm complimenting, not mocking, you.)

What I don't get is that Future Guy tried to stop Enterprise's mission in the first episode yet he failed. So if he is from the future why not try again except with this new knowledge? Just tell the Suliban to do it a different way.

Who knows. Unlike the Dominion War Story arc where the producers had roughly planned out what was going to happen (they planned as early as the 2nd season, once the Dominion had been introduced to have the Feds and Dominion go at it before the end of the series), B'nB seem to be making it up as they go along.

Berman: Hey, B.

Braga: Hey, B.

Berman: Our fans are getting pissed off. We have to come to a resolution with this Future Guy guy thing we got going on on Enterprise.

Braga: Last night, I came up with this chart. See?
1. Future Archer,
2. Future Picard,
3. Those time travelling aliens in that episode where Picard takes a vacation at the sex planet,
4. Janeway and Neelix's son from an alternate timeline,
5. Rowlf from the Muppet Show for some reason we'll think of when I'm not busy

Berman: OK

Braga: Let me roll this dice.

(roll)

Berman: a six

(pause)

Braga: There has got to be a solution to this, B. Let me make a chart for this chart problem tonight and I'll get back to you tomorrow so we can work on the Future Guy chart the following day.

I think it was Colonel Mustard, in the library with the candle holder!

Maybe because the timeline keeps getting altered, and each time they encounter Future Guy they're actually encountering a guy with a completely different past and different goals from the Future Guy from their previous encounters.

Or maybe it's just yet another plot hole.

I think Howedar meant the Enterprise's "Chef," the show's answer to Maris Crane. Often quoted, never seen except his hand and slacks in one episode.

No Im prety sure he meant Chef as played by Isaac Hayes.

He never clarified it, but the ENT reference was the first thing that came to mind for me. <baited breath>Howedar?

El Moose Monstero · Post by **El Moose Monstero** » 2003-10-11 10:35am

My fault, Howedar meant Chef as in Enterprise, there was no logical reason for him to be talking about South Park, that was me in one of my more flippant moods. (Most of them are flippant, as a rule.)

And I'm pretty sure that that was sarcasm by Fanboy, too.

Howedar · Post by **Howedar** » 2003-10-11 08:14pm

Why not both? As someone else said, we haven't actually seen the Enterprise chef: it could very well be Chef.

El Moose Monstero · Post by **El Moose Monstero** » 2003-10-11 08:51pm

~Hello there, Captain...
~Hey Chef...
~How's it going?
~Bad.
~Why bad?
~Well, we've got these crappy writers and an enemy which is better suited to the scrabble board, the dog's got fleas and Hoshi's being space sick all over the Hydroponics bay.
~Aww, that's too bad, lemme sing you a song...

I seriously wonder if it's Captain Braxton from Voyager's time travel episodes.

I mean, he's got Temporal Psychosis. If he can't elminated Voyager and save his own mind, why not take out Starfleet and the Federation to do it?

Hmm...yes, yes this would be interesting. It could further add to the linking of the 22nd and 24th century shows. Well-thoughout my friend.
