Fair point. Archer would have to be pretty old if he was alive at that point.

You still call them Admirals / Generals after they retire though.

This would make Admiral Archer, what, about 140?

Is that really too far fetched 250 or so years into the future?

I don't think so. Some people live well over 100 in modern times.

How old was Bones in Encounter At Farpoint?

I could buy him living to 140 alright. But still an acting admiral? I doubt it.

He was 137.

Yup, he was 137 and he was fed up with people being surprised at him living that long. This kinda suggests it's not that regular a thing to live to 137 at that time, which is 90+ years after this timeline.

By the 2250s, Archer could have had a son who made it to admiral and liked beagles.

Age is not a problem. The UN projects that by 2300 (yes, they have thought this far ahead) the average life expectancy in the first world will be around 106. Currently it is 75-80. So living to 140 will be no more remarkable than someone living to 110 now. Rare but not impossible.

We can safely assume that Archer had several beagles over his lifetime, so the beagle in question wasn't Porthos.

The question you have to ask is what was Scotty thinking? Weren't there lab mice (or lab beagles) to test his new transporter techniques on? Even an ensign's hamster or lieutenant's shitzsu would be better choices than an admiral's beagle.

As one of the only posters on this forum who actually enjoyed ENT, I feel compelled to say:

"Who's the preferred time line now, biatch?!!"

As I said above, I'm not sure if Enterprise is canon in this timeline, Archer or no Archer. There had already been significant changes even before Nero showed up.

Just from the look and feel of it I'd say no, and as Seafort said there are differnces even before Nero showed up.

Exactly. As I pointed out earlier, all we know is that there was an admiral named Archer who owned a pet bagle. Aside from that, anything could have happened.
