That whole "temporal cold war" theme from "Enterprise" was pretty boring,
IMHO. I enjoyed seeing the Enterprise-J (what little we saw), and seeing
31st century Earth, but some of it was pure crap, IMHO. Yup, Voyager did
deal with Starfleet's Time-Cops, though, again I liked the episodes.
"Relativity" was very good, IMHO. And, "Timeless" is my favorite Voyager
episode. As for the timelines themselves, if memory serves, Captain
Braxton
and company from Voyager's "Relativity" was in a different century then
Crewman Daniels from Enterprise.

I guess that depends on how you think of it. The premise of the show was
having the Captain of the Andromeda go from a time when the System's
Commonwealth thrived, to a time when the universe was in chaos. The only
obvious way was time travel. I guess they could have used an actual time
travel device, such as the "teleporter" which Dylan used to visit Sam, but
they didn't.

I would definitely agree there. Though, those two episodes were some of
my
favorite throughout the series. Especially Tyr's line as Dylan began
destroying the Neitchein ships. Keith Cobb was definitely awesome at
delivering his lines. IMHO, he made you believe what he was saying or
doing, even if it was wrong. Quite an actor, and though I also like Steve
Bacic, I think the show definitely lost quite a bit when Cobb left.
