[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [qb] <blockquote>"Unfortunately, the kEWl special effects were so detailed that I figured out right away that the title character was basically supposed to be a walking tricorder for the Xindi."</blockquote> Can you explain this? UPN is on a rather low-budget station here, so the reception is horrible. The visual effects tend to get lost in the fuzz... [/qb][/QUOTE]When Raijin was running her hands across Archer, T'Pol, and whoever else she was hamming it up with (you probably heard the sound effects), we could see UNDER the victim's skin, to their internal organs -- vertebrae, brain, lungs, et cetera. With that kind of gruesome detail -- not pleasure-inducing, at least for this viewer -- it did not seem like Raijin was their for what the UPN promos suggested she was. As for those Xindi ships -- for the first brief shot of them, I was actually thinking of those tiny three-pronged Minbari fighters from B5. But once I got a better look at them, the Xindi ships are obviously much flatter. Still, it's pretty cool that they are widest at the front section, and then taper down towards the rear. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [qb]Now there's an idea - the sphere tie into the transportation system. I mean, they can' be there JUST to cause the anomalies... And come to think of it, don't they somewhat resemble the probe that attacked Earth somewhat?[/qb][/QUOTE]Hey yeah... that Xindi mini-Death Star [b]did[/b] seem to come completely out of nowhere in the finale last season. At the time, I'd simply assumed that it was a cloaking device of some kind... but Mayweather simply called it a "vortex." I assume he's intelligent enough, after all the ship's experience with the Suliban, to recognize the difference between a mysterious cloaking device and a mysterious FTL transportation system. [QUOTE]Originally posted by BJ_O: [qb] Is it just me, or do the reptilian Xindi remind anyone else of the head bad guy from "Galaxy Quest"?[/qb][/QUOTE]LMAO! Anyone want to place bets as to whether the Xindi will code-name their planet-destroying weapon the "Omega-13"? :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
