[QUOTE]Originally posted by David Templar: [QB] AFAICT, there was absolutely no mention of using the transporter to save Reed. While I applude B&B for this small attempt at technological self-restriction, it's pretty bloody stupid in this case. They could have beamed Reed off, patched him back up, and have him back out to disarm the damned thing in half the time. Or simply beamed him off the detached hull plating. No, let's go with Archer's stupid plan. At 20m, even with something solid between you and the blast, a 1/4 kiloton yield should have sent out enough energy to scramble your brains and internal organs with sheer kinetic force, especially when it's got a flating to vaporize into gas for use as an energy transfering medium. I'm guessing Reed lacks guts to scramble, and Archer brains. Something that bothered me, by giving an actual explosive yield like that, we're gonna have Warsies swarming all over the fact that something that small opened up the ship. Are they going to care that it was done to an old and unprepared ship, with hull plating less than half a foot thick? No, they'll just make up some crazy crap to diss Trek tech as us.... *is shot* Ahem, now that fanatical ranting Dave is dead, the final point of this point is how no one dead. B&B seem to be going out of their way to make sure that no nameless crewmen buys it on what is a very dangerous voyage, probably because they don't want to give Enterprise an excuse to return to Earth. Hell, I don't think this mine impact is going to sent Enterprise home. "Don't worry Admiral Forrester, it's just a scratch on the paint job. It'll come right off with some elbow grease..." "Sir, C deck is losing atmospheric pressure again! And someone stole one of our impulse reactors!" "I'll have to call you back, sir." ^That's more likely to happen then anything else. I'm thinking that by the time the series end, Enterprise's hull-patching ability will rival if not surpass Voyager. :p [/QB][/QUOTE]
