[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] Let's see if I can add anything... -- Excellent and abundant views of the old-style BoP; once the usual HDTV screencaps are posted some talented artist should be able to render schematics of the design. -- The writers can't seem to make up their mind about whether it's called Alpha Centauri or Proxima colony. -- Soong continues his work in genetic engineering on a theoretical level---literally on paper---in prison. Every few months they clear out his cell and vaporize everything. At the time of the episode he's designing a cure for Sherat's (spelling?) Syndrome. (At first I thought this was supposed to be the genetic hearing disorder that Picard was afflicted with, but looking at the [i]Nemesis[/i] script I see that was "Shalaft's.") -- Trip warns Archer not to push a particular button on his new chair. This is probably an "in-joke" allusion to the fact that it is a re-use of the [i]Nemesis[/i] chair with the surprise seatbelt. (Although someone on the TrekBBS pointed out that it could also be a reference to Kirk jettisoning the ion pod from TOS "Court Martial.") -- T'Pol accepted the Starfleet commission mentioned in the last episode, and she is now a Commander, complete with pips and NX-01 patch on her arm. But she's still wearing the catsuits and not a uniform. This strikes me as a bit incongruous, but I suppose one only need think of Troi to dispell that feeling. (NOTE: We now have concrete canonical refutal of the "urban legend" about Spock being the first Vulcan in Starfleet.) -- Phlox confirms that the Eugenics Wars still took place in the 20th century. (No retcon = good! :) ) -- The Orion ships with their looming "wings" seem subtly reminiscent of the design from the animated episode "The Pirates of Orion" to me, but that may be a subjective/psychological thing on my part. --Anybody catch what unit of currency they were using at the auction? Whatever it was, T'Pol sold for 6 million of them, IIRC. -- Is it possible that "tritanium cobalt" is what later comes to be referred to as "tricobalt"? If I think of anything else I'll be back. ;) -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
