[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] Additions after re-watching: -- It was Sharat's Syndrome. -- Soong once reprogrammed a PADD to open every security door in his compound. He was quite proud of that. (I would be too.) -- T'Pol definitely said "Orion Syndicate." -- Death toll for Eugenics Wars as given by Phlox was 30 million. This jibes somewhat with Spock's figure of 37 million for the "Third World War" from TOS "Bread and Circuses," although technically if one were rounding from that, it would be 40 million. (What's a million here, a million there? :p ) In TOS, the EW and WWIII were treated as the same conflict, though Riker's WWIII figure (600 million) was considerably larger. -- The Orions utilize neurological inhibitor chips which induce convulsive seizures in the wearer to control their slaves. They also have a self-destruct feature a la [i]Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace[/i] which prevents theft. :eek: -- The Augments have a lifespan *double* that of contemporary (2150s) humans. Considering that the humans of the era apparently have significantly expanded lifespans themselves when compared to us, this could be a long time. I wonder if there are any of them still running around in TNG? -- It occurred to me that the lead female Augment's name (Persis) may be a reference to Persis Khambatta, who played Lieutenant Ilia in TMP. -- Minor VFX gaffe: At the end, after the Orion interceptors are said to have disabled the NX-01's warp nacelles, the external blue warp coil glow is still in full force. -- Some little tiny pathetic geeky part of me is wishing Soong had said "Go home and start learning to speak Klingon[i]ese[/i]." :o -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
