Going back a bit to safety and Trellium D. I wonder why the Vulcans didn't check the stuff first, to make sure it's not toxic to them, before applying them in liberal amounts to the insides of their ship. Seems somewhat past the level of illogical, into the realm of sheer and utter stupidity. Guess the Vulcans never had their lead paint or aspestose-eras. Too bad.
Don't shoot the zombies, shoot the writers.
One also wonders why they didn't just apply it to the outside of their ship, since I think that's what that captured pirate said, they coated their the hull, not the bulkheads. This is assuming the Trellium keeps the anomolies from entering the ship, the anomolies being free-floating entities, rather than preventing them from forming inside the ship, them being just popping into existence randomly.

Which is quite idiotic IMNSHO. Tomorrow (hopefully, provided I find time) I shall post my own review of the film and the DVD special features, and perhaps dispell some of the lingering negativity towards it.

I'm afraid you may be setting yourself up for a counter-review where I'll flay the film open like a Targ at a Klingon feast.

WRT to the additional monitors I mentioned earlier, I've determined they were installed during over hiatus after all. We do not see 'em at the end in "The Expanse", but in the first bridge scenes in "The Xindi" there they are (and in the shuttlepods, too). It's possible therefore that they are partly to monitor the unique properties of the Expanse.
