[QUOTE]Originally posted by David Templar: [QB] Just finished watching this episode, and I would like for someone to technobabble their way out of this current thing: Daniels is from the 31st Century while Braxton was from 29th Century. However, Daniels clearly states that those from the 30th Century does not have the technology to send people back. So where does that leave Braxton and (quoting someone else) "Timefleet"? Beaming people back through time, repeatedly, over and over again? Not to mention that time travel, with people, was quite possible even in the 23rd Century. Even assuming that Daniels meant that only the 'other' faction did not have the ability to send people back, why did not they adopt a strategy more like the one they used in the VOY episode "Relativity" to arrest that Suliban? Instead, they have a long-term mole onboard the [i]Enterprise[/i] and before that probably in Starfleet (what branch of Daniels in? the Corps of Mess Hall Staffers?), all for the purpose of catching one Suliban? And he failed? Don't tell me they couldn't see [i]that[/i] coming 900 years in the future. "We don't monitor things that closely," he said. Well, maybe you should start! Besides that, don't tell me that all the special time-travelling operatives in the future possess a slight "Reg Barkley" streak. I mean, Daniels did not seem like the most realiable of type you'd send 900 years back in time, apparently unarmed and unaware, to capture a genetically engineered superman. What? Was appearing totally air-headed the only way to pass the 22nd Century Starfleet entrance exam? Plus, he brought all that fancy gear back with him through time, but no apparent way of defending himself? He didn't even need to have brought something fancy, a bloody little Type-1 phaser would have been plenty. Maybe a skin cream that reduces the effects of particle beam weapon hits, who knows? I'm beginning to think that The Brass sent him knowing full well that he'd just get killed. Then there's the fact that even with 31st Century gear, they still have trouble scanning for Sulibans. Sweet baby Cthulhu, there's only so much genetic engineering is capable of, and fooling multiphasic scanners and so on is almost certainly not one of them. *catches breath* Only thing of some redeeming quality the guy said, or at least didn't say: there was apparently no more Starfleet. Either that, or Starfleet was no longer involved in time policing. Good thing they locked his quarters up before the end, I bet Daniels was the type to leave dirty socks laying around. "God knows what else is in there"? Yeah C'ptain, check in there in a couple seasons. You'll be pleasantly surprised. :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
