[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] From the parts that I did see, the episode was pretty good (damn university cable problems). It was definitely a fun little episode. The episode wasn't complex in terms of writing or plotlines, but the direction and pacing was pretty good. To me, it seemed to be a solid episode. I was worried that this episode was going to has a continuity error on the major boo-boo side. Early reports said that the Earth Starfleet had rules in place similar to the future Prime Directive that prevented non-interference in non-warping cultures. Nope, it's just the Vulcans with this rule. Eventually, we know that they'll get their wish to have the humans follow it as well. The final battle sequences were pretty good. There was a minor visual effects goof, though. The torpedo that destroyed the reactor was fired from the port tube, not the starboard. However, this sequence does present new questions. Was the aft torpedo in "Fight or Flight" really fired from the aft pod or from under the saucer? What were those two orange globes fired at the alien ship? They didn't look like the torpedoes or the plasma pulse effect from "Broken Bow." Here's a few minor details I'd like to point out. Apparently, the transporter cannot beam something from point A to point B without having it rematerialize on the pad first. Sato seems to be more eager about exploring in this episode than earlier in the season. Enterprise has a Quartmaster who must be a wonderful seamstress. Dr Phlox's character has definitely seemed to mellowed out a bit since his first appearance in "Broken Bow." Has his makeup changed? I don't remember there being so much brown around the edges of his facial ridges. One complaint I had with "Civilizaton" was with the Tucker-T'Pol spar over "prepare to break orbit." Why did she give the order if she wasn't going to leave? This argument seemed to be thrown in for the hell of it. There wasn't much point to it other than a reminder of tension and to show that T'Pol is gaining respect for and loyalty to Captain Archer. I guess this is an extension of "Breaking the Ice" (which is good), but the insertion into the episode needed more though behind it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
