Okay, people who find the sight of Star Trek geekitude please avert your eyes. This won't be pretty...

The producers of Enterprise are introducing a new element to the series for next season. A race that seems to want to annihilate Earth.

I've recently been reading The Enemy Papers, by Barry Longyear. It's a collection of all the "drac" stories, including the famous "Enemy Mine". In the Longyear stories, the alien race refers to itself as the "Sindie".

In Enterprise the new race is referred to as the "Xindi". Strong phoenetic similarity. I'm wondering if that's a nod to Barry Longyear, and/or a foreshadowing of events...

If there is any relation, I'm gonna have to go turn a notch up on my Coincidentometer for reading teh relevant book right at the relevant time...
