Default The Borg on "Enterprise"

I haven't heard a rumor about William Shatner appearing on "Enterprise", but SCIFI Wire posted something not too long ago about the Borg appearing in the season finale. Starfleet was supposed to find a piece of the Borg cube that was destroyed at the beginning of "Star Trek: First Contact" in the arctic wilderness.

This show is supposed to be a prequel to "Star Trek: TOS", yet we have already seen the Ferengi and now the Borg from the "Star Trek" sequels. It seems like they always rely on "Trek" species from every series to integrate into every storyline; remember, on "Voyager", they were supposed to be in the Delta Quadrant, yet they seem to still run into Romulans, Klingons, other Star Fleet ships and just different things that are already familar in the "Star Trek" universe.

I like the fact that on "Enterprise", they have already dealt with the Andorians from TOS (albeit with different makeup), and they had a run-in with the Tholians from TOS' "The Tholian Web", in ships that were quite similar to the triangular-shaped ones used in that classic episode. They should continue to run in to species from the original show, and not from the spinoffs. I'd like to see them run into a Gorn ship or the Talosians from the original pilot.

But that's just my opinion - what do I know, I'm not a network executive. Don't they instinctively know what we want to watch (remake vs. continuation)?
