One retcon thing I did like, however, was on the show Deep Space Nine, where the crew went back in time to the first Enterprise. It was during the time of "The Trouble With Tribbles." There's a scene where Worf, Miles and Julian are in a bar and they see those old human-looking Klingons. Miles and Julian give Worf a look like "those are Klingons? What happened?!" Worf's explanation was a simple line about not talking about that with outsiders.
I never saw that, but that is kinda cool. That kind of retcon I think is ok - acknowledging a continuity flaw in a jokey way but still not really explaining it. But like you said, they went and tried to properly expalin it in Enterprise and it all went pear-shaped.One retcon thing I did like, however, was on the show Deep Space Nine, where the crew went back in time to the first Enterprise.

EDIT: sorry 'bout the double post - I meant to just add to my last one but messed up.
