eliyesThe "Admiral Archer" whose beagle is the reason Scotty is on Delta Vega in the new movie can't be the Archer from the series Enterprise. Provided you assume that Enterprise really does fall in the same timeline as TOS, TNG, and the rest -- which I usually don't, but if you do -- Jonathan Archer was the President of the Federation for nearly a decade. I therefore doubt they'd still be calling him "Admiral". Because that would have happened before the changes to the timeline caused by the temporal intrusion of the Narada, it would not be different.
Also, he'd be really really frickin' old. I know in Enterprise there was an episode where they were gonna say Archer lived to see the Constitution-class Enterprise christened (and died the next day), but that scene was cut, never made it to the screen, therefore is not Enterprise canon -- probably because someone pointed out how he'd be really really frickin' old.
Yes, I am totally still thinking about this crap. This Archer thing doesn't actually bother me as much as the mucking about with people's ages. Somehow Romulans killing Kirk's dad made Chekov be born years earlier! Amazing! *eyeroll*
